Mother's Day Letters

My children wrote me Mother's Day Letters at a Primary Activity last week. They were so sweet, I had to post them and will cherish them forever.



Dear Mom,
I love you so much. Thank you for working to get us nice things! Thank you for helping me with my homework if I need help. I hope you have a nice mother's day. I *heart* you.
Love,
Emilee


Ahhhh....it's so nice to be appreciated.

This one made me tear up a bit. I kept the spelling errors intact, because I love them. They will remind me how far she's come when she's older and shows that she really did this letter on her own and she really thought it through!

Thank you for helping us clean our rooms. Thank you for feeding us.
Luv, Melia

Yes, yes....I really do strive for perfection in motherhood. I even feed my children! Thank you, Melia, for noticing. :)

I love my kids.

Baby's First Applesauce

I think she likes it. What do YOU think?

5 months old today...

Man. Time flies when you're busy! lol

Macie is 5 months old today! I can't believe it!
She is just so absolutely adorable, I couldn't even pick which photo to use. So you get a few...even though they're all very similar. lol Can you believe those rosy cheeks? We already have a tooth with a second one close behind. She's such a good baby and I just love her to pieces. So do the girls!

Megan's Baptism

Megan was baptized two weeks ago. I've been trying to blog it, but my computer hated me and I couldn't. My sweet girl is so beautiful and it was wonderful. She was able to be baptized with Jaelyn, her best friend whom she missed sharing a birthday with by only 15 minutes. The spirit was strong and I'm so proud of her. Emilee sang with the older girls, then Megan and Jaelyn sang together. It was too sweet for words.

The whole gang!

When did I get so old???

When did I become old enough to have a 10 year old. TEN!!!

Emilee turns ten in less than 4 hours. My first baby. Boy, have we come a long way. She is such a beautiful, responsible and empathetic girl...can I even call her a girl anymore? She has informed me that now that she is in double digits she is a "tween". Time flies.

Happy Birthday Emilee!

Isn't she a beauty?

Megan is 8!

My sweet sweet Megan turned eight this week. She will get baptized on Sunday at 5:30pm at the Kent Stake Center. Everyone is invited. She will get to be baptized with her best little friend Jaelyn.

Megan is the ray of sunshine in our family. She is easy to please, loves to laugh and is quick to share of herself. She is responsible and kind and a huge help with Macie. She's going to be quite the little babysitter when she's old enough. She loves animals and has been a joy in my life every single day. Love you Megan!

Memories

So we sent our girls to bed early the other day, in an attempt to get them back on schedule before they go back to school. 3 hours later, Emilee and Megan were still awake in their room giggling and making noise. When we asked them why they were still up, they responded with, "We couldn't sleep. So we're making memories."


How is a mother supposed to uphold bedtime with an answer like that? Actually, I know the answer. You're not. There are more important things in life than bedtime.
