{Mother's Day}

Of the last 5 years, this was my favorite Mother's Day! Dean took the girls out shopping Friday night and I had a whole 4 hours to myself! Then Sunday morning I slept in and Dean and Lauren made me a delicious breakfast of french toast and bacon! We headed to church and then had dinner with my family. It was a great day!

At breakfast the girls gave me my gifts. Kylee "picked out" sewing supplies; she knew exactly what I needed! All week Lauren had been beyond excited about going shopping for my present. She would say do you want this or this? Or do you want this or this? Apparently at one point I said I would rather have jewelery over something else. So that was it. She was insistent upon getting me jewelery. So Dean took her to Target and she spent at least 45 minutes picking out my present! Dean said he limited her to a certain section and she would sit and examine each item. Dean asked her if she liked one and she would grab her head with both her hands in frustration and say "I don't know. I don't know what to pick!" Finally she settled on 2 pairs of earrings, a heart locket {which she calls a locker} and 3 bracelets! Each one only cost $4.99 and coming from Target you know the quality isn't top notch, but to me they are priceless. The excitement {she could hardly contain herself as I opened them} and love from her in picking out each one meant so much. She is such a sweet little girl! {unfortunately I didn't get pictures}

Being a mother is hard, every day has new challenges and some days I have just about had enough. Regardless of the rough days, every wonderful, fun, happy, spiritual, positive moment that happens the rest of the time makes up for that ten fold. I love it and I wouldn't want any other job. I look forward to the years ahead of watching our sweet little girls grow and welcoming baby number 3 to our family!



***Did you catch that? Yeah, I'm pregnant! Baby Three is due the end of October. We should find out what we are having at the end of this month. Any guesses? Another girl or is it finally time for Dean to get his little boy?? We can't wait!
