Another week . . .

Well another week has flown by. I honestly don't know where they go. Here are my two guys, as I finally finished unpacking the suitcase from Utah (I think they want to go back). I honestly feel like I am always cleaning and organizing and yet my house is always destroyed. Such are the joys of family life.





Speaking of motherhood, being as yesterday was Mother's Day I wanted to say some words to my own mom. My mom is amazing. She has had some rough years and has had some intense heartache and through it all she has stood strong. She trusts the Lord above all and has not let others actions or behavior dictate her own. I love that. She is a great listener and so fun to have around. When I need a project done I know bring her into it is going to get it done faster than anything. Plus she is a woman of her word. If she says it then you can bet it will be done. Most importantly she has always been at my life's great moments to support and show her love. I love you mom!! I have written a poem for this occasion! Here it is.








Once we lived in a beautiful place


Full of love and light and heavenly grace


A plan was made to send us to earth


We would forget all things at birth.





But alone we would not be,


Our Heavenly Father would give us a key


Just to remind us of where we come from


To love us, teach us and guide us some.





The mother is the key so important


The baby so sweet, she loves in an instant


Together each will grow and learn


Having fun and trials at every turn





The mothers place is sacred and noble


Through days of cooking, cleaning and fables


A bond is developed that can never be broken


The love of a mother that can never be spoken





The look in a baby's eyes says it all


As if the baby remembers the fall


And in a mothers love and embrace


The baby can still see the father's face





The simple love in that child's eyes


Can lift her up and becomes a mother's prize


The thanks that she seeks is simple, too


It is given in each hug and love you.





I love my mom and even more, I love being a mom. My children are my whole world and whether a good day or a not so good day there is no where else I would rather be than with my sweet family. I hope you all feel the same and that everyone had a great Mother's Day.
