The simple joys of motherhood...

I just woke up from a really long and much needed nap. Church started bright and early for us this morning and considering we played games until 2 in the morning, 9:00 church seemed like a bit of a stretch. But, we made it there and almost on time I might add. When we got home I got a delisious crepe breakfast with wonderful company (my family, Shelly and Billy, and Andy and Tricia). After some hangout time that consisted of catching a lizard (which Isaac caught all by himself) and other such family activities. Then Glenn put Noah down for a nap and took Isaac out for a few hours. Bayley tucked me into bed and read me some poems from A Light In The Attic until I fell asleep and then quitely snuck off. Then Noah woke up and climbed into my bed and snuggled up to me and fell back asleep.

This really has been one of my favorite Mother's Days. I love my 3 little people so much and am so grateful for the chance to experience life in a way that is so rewarding. I feel so blessed. I think it is only fitting to thank Glenn for all his love and support which makes it possible for me to be the mother that I am. I love you. I guess reflecting back on all that we have had to go through in the past year with all the extreme ups and downs, I have realized that the deep meaning to my life and the satisfaction that I have comes from the sweet mercies of our Savior. That through it all I have a beautiful family that I love so very much. That is what life is all about.

And finally... I couldn't let Mothers Day go by without sending out a post to my mom. She is such a wonderful person full of so much love. I am also very grateful to be raised my such a magnificent woman. Mom, I'm sending you an ehug. I love you.

I just thought I would add these pictures of me bowling with the kids this week. Three tries to get a cute picture. 1. Noah picking is nose. 2. Isaac making a goober face. and 3. Everyone colliding and falling down.. oh well we tried
