Mother's Day!

This is a bittersweet day for me, I love to remember the wonderful Mother that I had. She was such a sweet spirited person. I miss her more than I could ever express, so that makes Mother's Day somewhat sad as I think of all the things that I wish I could share with her, my life, my precious little girls, the joys and sorrows of everyday life, my personal struggles and burdens, my accomplishments, to be able to ask her advice or get a recipe!


I miss you Mom, but I thank the Lord for allowing me to have you for my Mommy! You Live in my heart and my memory! I hope to someday be just like you! .



I also delight in being a Mother and sharing this day with my two beautiful little girls! They are so precious. My prayer is to be the Best Mommy that I can be. It is such an awesome privilige, yet overwhelming to think that you have these little lives to mold and teach and you only get one chance. A little scary huh?


Sherah was so sweet giving me my gifts. She is such a sweet child at times and then there are other times...... :-) I know that with all the crazy days and at times when it feels like you just want to pull your hair out or scream, I wouldn't trade being a mother for anything in the world! It is a gift and I am thankful for these little people that have been entrusted to me.





We spent Mother's day with my lovely Stepmother, Debbie. We had a great time being with her. She has been a part of our lives for many years now and never hesitates to let us come in and take over the place. Thanks Debbie for your patience, love and acceptance. Love you lots!

Shaylah's First Birthday Party

Last Saturday we celebrated Shaylah's First birthday. We had a great time, all of my brothers and sisters were here along with my Dad and Stepmother. Josh's parent's were here also. It was so fun to watch her tear into her cake, she loved it! I hope you enjoy the pictures that I posted.

Time goes by so fast and it is hard for me to believe that she is a year old already.

She just started walking, it is so cute.

Enjoying Her Cake!

I Can Have it ALL??

Sherah loves to "Help" her. :-) She is a great Bis Sister!
