Mother's Day 2010 consisted of my husband and boys letting me sleep in and then waking me up to open my presents. Wyatt and Luke were excited for me to see the pink beach towel and punch bowl they picked out for me. It was really cute. Jared said that's what they wanted to get me. Jared then surprised me with a beautiful bracelet!
Later that day he made some delicious cookies for all the mothers who would come over for dessert.
Jenny was out of town (Cameron still came and brought each of us flowers!). Here we have the newest mother (L to R) Connie, me, Carrie (who announced she is pregnant the next day!) and Mickey (soon to be mother of our half brother!).
I absolutely love being a mother. I had the best example of a selfless, loving, caring, and compassionate mother... my own mom. I will cherish her example forever.
I know that all she ever wanted was to be a mom. She loved her kids (me) very much.
I am also thankful for all of the other examples of righteous women/mothers in my life. I am blessed with a wonderful mother-in-law, beautiful sisters (who I am glad to have so close-by), sisters-in-law, friends, and a new step mom who I consider a great friend. I am very lucky.
