Happy Mother's Day!!!

Sometimes I'm not so eloquent with my words so I'll just keep it simple and say that I'm grateful to have the opportunity to be a mother to my four sweet children. There are plenty of days where I fail to keep it all together, but I sure love my kiddos and I know they love me. Being a mom is such hard work, but so very worth it. ♥

My mom is a great example to me of selflessness. She is such a hard worker and has taught me much. I love you, Mom!

Also, I'm so grateful for my mother-in-law, my sisters and sisters-in-law, and my good friends that are great influences on me. And I can't forget Matt --- he's wonderful in honoring me as the mother to our children. I couldn't do it without their help, support and love!!

Coming back to add these treasures...

Preston brought this home from nursery.

It has the sweet poem on the back:

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing-
I'll be grown someday
And all those tiny handprints
Will surely fade away

So here's a little handprint
Just so you can recall
Exactly how my fingers looked
When I was very small

Brooklyn and Blake did these at school and I will love them forever!! They had to fill in the blanks. Apparently Brooklyn thinks I'm Super Mom! ♥Nothing creative from Gavin because obviously his preschool teacher (me) and Primary teacher (me) were slackers this year. Lol!
