Mother's Day

This year I celebrated my 10th year of being a mom. I can't help but reflect back on all those years and how they have flown by. I think my most favorite part of Mother's Day is seeing the look on the faces of my kids when I open the gifts that they made themselves. From Brynlee I got an apron with her little hands stamped in paint and decorated so carefully. She was so proud of herself and almost couldn't contain her secret. From McKade I got a picture that was taken of him at school dressed in old fasioned clothes and holding a baseball mitt. This picture captures just what McKade is made of. Apparently when you get to 3rd grade the teachers think you are too old to make something for your mom. Trevin was devastated that he didn't have anything to give me. I had to remind him that it didn't matter and that all I really needed was to be reminded that he loves and appreciates me. Brett trys to out-do himself every year and wanted to get me a TV for our bedroom. I nixed on that idea because I can't bring myself to spend any money and settled instead for some new clothes, a movie, a CD, and a gift certificate for a day at the Spa Club. I am so grateful for my little family and love that I have been chosen to be the mom to these four wonderful little spirits.
