Mother's Day 2010

These two little girls are the reasons I get to celebrate Mother's Day :) I love being their mommy. I love the kisses, the I love you's, the NO's from Kiley, the giggles, the screams and cries. I love all the things they are teaching me. This past year they have taught me to just sit back and take it all in. I have been trying very hard this year to enjoy EVERY part of being a mommy, screams, cries, fights, no, and sharing my bed with them. I know all of these things will only last for a little while. All to soon there will be a day when they won't want to share a bed with us or take a nap on the couch with me, so I'm gonna take it all in while I can!

Hailey and Kiley you both bring so much joy to my life. I love watching you grow everyday. Hailey you make my day every evening when I pick you up from school and you come running to me yelling MOMMY!!!!! Kiley Maureen I love how you just walk up to me and give me a kiss, with your mouth wide open. I can't imagine life without the two of you. I love you both more then you will ever know!!

We celebrated Mother's Day with church in the morning then having my mom and dad, brothers, sister-n-laws, niece's and nephews over for a cookout. It was a beautiful day outside, the kids played outside and Chris grilled chicken. We ate entirely way to much food and celebrated our Mom. I'm so thankful for my mom and all the things she has taught me about being a mommy. All day I thought about Chris' mom, about how different things would be if she was here. I didn't get to know her but I still miss her everyday. I know she is watching over us and I know she celebrated with us.
