Mother's Day ramblings

This was a great Mother's day. Ryan and the girls made me breakfast and made me cards and let me sleep in really late. In fact I woke up to Cambelle running up the stairs yelling, "Mom! Come see what I made!!" Then they burst through the door yelling Happy Mothers Day! If that wasn't cool enough Ryan got me a Kitchen Aide stand mixer in RED! My most favortite color! He must have told the girls it was a toy for mom because Kadence has asked me every day if I like my new toy. I christened it with mashed potatoes and snickerdoodles...not at the same time though. That would be bad.

But I just wanted to take a moment and tell my mom how grateful I am that I got to be her kid, everyday I try to be like her and love the girls like I felt loved. I have always known I was the favorite kid...I think my brothers and sister think the same thing but they would be wrong but it is really me.

Thank you Mom, I hope you had a great Mother's day. You have been such a strength and support through everything, and I love to tell you our good news first because no one gets more excited then you. I also love that you let me tell you our sad news first, no one understands better then you or makes me feel better faster.

Betty, thank you also for your support and love and patience as we bumble through life. I feel like becoming a mom has helped me feel closer to you as a daughter-in-law, I understand how you feel about your kids. Who by the way, are an honor to be related too! You had to have been a fantastic mom- just look at your fabulous kids. Thank you for your example.

Mother's day has been a time to not only remember our great mothers but also be grateful to be a mom. This has been a special joy finding out that the new little baby coming to our house is a boy. Shopping in blue will be a fun new adventure!

I just wanted to say thank you also to our sweet birthmothers Mindy and Tasha for making my mothers day possible. Wishing you all the best life can bring.
