To Be a Mother

Being a mother is wonderful! It is full of challenges, heartaches, happiness, blessings, and many, many more things! I could not imagine my life without Grant and Grace. They have made me want to be a better person and they teach me something new each day. I do not know what I would do without them. My heart breaks as I think of our friends that have lost there sweet children. I can't imagine the emotions they felt and continue to feel. The other day we learned that one of our blog friends, Ella Grace, has leukemia. Please keep her in your prayers. I cried on and off for a majority of the day. It reminded me that I need to cherish every day with my little ones. I need to strive harder to be the mother I know I can be and the mother that Heavenly Father knows I can be as well.

Is that my Gracie girl with long, long hair???? Oh my heavens!

You are a great little momma. Happy Mother's Day to you my dear. I love motherhood too. We just need to do the best we can and by the time the grandkids come around we'll have it all down! :) Maybe our kids won't hate us if their kids love us. Cross your fingers! :)
