Sharing Mother's Day

I had the awesome privledge to spend Mother's Day with my sister and her boys just a little over a week ago! What a fun...and crazy morning it was! I absolutely LOVE spending time with my sister and her boys. I love watching her mother those boys...I waited so long for her to jump on the Mommy bandwagon and I get such joy seeing her interact with her miracles. And I still have to remind myself that she has TWO babies! Kelly, you ROCK as Brayden and Tyler's momma...they are so lucky God picked YOU!

You really cannot take anything for granted. Each minute we get with our kids is so precious and special. I am trying so hard to remember this everyday in the midst of my frustrations and challenging moments with my own children. It's the stupid little things that seem to push me "over the edge"! I am trying very hard to respond in a quiet voice, not yell and get mad and to teach Ella and Julia how to be the better person! It's hard work, this mommy thing...but I would not trade it for the world!
