Happy Mother's Day!

I'm so incredibly grateful that I was given the chance to become a mother. I love my girls more than anything. I love taking care of them and being the one that they need. I love finding things to keep Bella's mind busy and showing her new things to explore. I love being the one that Katie depends on for everything.

To Isabella - My sweet & sassy 3 year old, how you keep me on my toes! I love your sense of humor and how you have me laughing all day long. I love your green eyes and beautiful hair! I love how you manage to steal the tv all day and insist on eating mac & cheese for every meal. I love the way you make your daddy's heart melt in 2 seconds flat. I love you!

Katelynn- My tiny & precious 10 day old, I cannot believe how quickly you came into our lives and how you've made our family feel so complete. I love your tiny fingers and toes. I love how much thick dark hair your have. I love how you snuggle into my chest when I hold you close to me. I love watching you while you sleep. I love you!

We spent the afternoon at the park with my parents and little brother. It was a little too windy for the baby so we headed over to my parent's house and let Bella help her grandpa do some yardwork. It was a nice relaxing day and my heart was filled with love and gratitude today! Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

There is not a day that goes by that I don't appreciate how very blessed I am. I love every second of being a mommy. The good & the bad. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I was clueless what I wanted to do with my life when I grew up but I always knew I wanted to be a mom. We love baking cookies, going to the park, coloring and painting our fingernails.

I'm also very blessed to have the sweetest mom in the world. She will never know how much I admire her and look to her for advice. Love you mom!

Happy Mother's Day to all my mommy and mommy to-be friends!

A Mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world.

Happy Mother's Day!

My expectations fell WAY short this year on Mother's Day... I had a nice busy weekend planned and instead I was home sick the whole weekend! So next weekend I'm asking for a redo. Bella had a fun day with her grandma and got to wear her new dress. My favorite mother's day present was Nyquil. Sad!

Even home sick in bed, I'm really grateful for God giving me a chance to be a mom. I hope I'm making Him proud! Isabella is my whole world. I can't imagine my life without her. I finally feel like things are falling into place and soon I'll be home with her more instead of working so much. More on this soon. I feel very blessed!

I'm also grateful that I have the best mom in the world! She is one of my best friends and I look up to her so much. She is the first person I call when I have questions or to share good news with. Bella loves spending time with her grandma and she has learned if she wants something to just bring it to grandma and it's hers! They have so much fun together.

GRANDMA
Like mom but with NO rules!
