First of all, Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and Dan's Mom, you both are wonderful mothers and we are so blessed by your love and support for our family! God is so good to have given us mothers whom love us and cherish us! Thanks for all you do Mom's! :)
Second, a Happy Mother's Day to my sister and friends that are also Mom's! You all deserve a day of relaxation and time being pampered!
And third, Wow, do I feel loved today! And I am NOT being sarcastic! Sunday mornings are usually quite busy for us; Dan leaves around 7 a.m. and I get up a lil after, and get all 3 kiddos ready and try to be to church a little before 9a.m. (which is usually pretty close, but hard to do!) BUt this morning I woke up to 'Siah's sweet little voice saying, "Mommy, Happy Mother's Day!" And he handed me a dozen red roses and a card! Talk about a sweet way to wake up! My wonderful hubby had gotten up and gone to the store and got me roses and a card to give me before church! Then while I was getting ready to go 'Siah came into the bathroom and he was all dressed...it wasn't even 8 a.m. yet and I never even asked him to! Amazing! I was thinking to myself, maybe the day will get even better than this! This is AWESOME! Cami slept till 8 a.m. and Micah woke up shortly before her! So far so good the day was going...!
So I am blessed by my wonderful family! We all should feel blessed as mothers, even the days when nothing seems to go right! Although sometimes that is when it seems the hardest to be thankful!
Here are just a few of the hundreds of reasons I know I am a Mom...and I am so thankful for these reasons! :)
1)I have so much love for my family and would feel so lonely without them! You know those times when you get out by yourself to go to the store, come back and they are so excited to see you even though it's been an hour! :)
2)I do get tired at the end of the day...and sometimes the middle of the day...thank goodness they all still take a nap!
3) I always have to have a piece of paper with a list to write things down on so I don't forget...I am sooooo stinkin' forgetful sometimes!
4)My kids almost always want to go with me to the store even though they have been with me all day, every day of the week!
5)My family all still love and accept me after I have not been very patient that day!
What are some reasons you know you are a mom?
I hope all your mom's have a wonderful Day! Here are some pics of our family outing from Friday and Saturday for an early Mom's day, since we will be spending the afternoon with my Mom!
My beautiful flowers! :) Thanks Babe! And the kids of course! I love you guys!
The boys being so silly...they emptied the cabinet...and climbed in to hide!
These little people can keep me smiling, life is never dull moment with kids!! JOsiah putting his clothes on the wrong way! On purpose of course!
Our family picture we took at the Riverfront Park...
My precious family...

Anna, what a wonderful post! I'm so thankful that you are the mother of our grandchildren!!!! You are a loving, fun, hardworking, creative, patient (even if you don't think you are!)....well, a super mom! Good job, Dan, in surprising her! You are both great parents and we love our little grand kiddos!
Love,
Mom
Isn't it so nice that they were so good on Mom's day? Hannah did the same thing...usually Sundays are a fight with her to get ready and it was a breeze for me yesterday and I actually got to church on time! Its like they knew it was our day! :) Thanks for giving me such wonderful, adorable nephews and a neice! And your a great mom to them!
What a great husband to get you flowers! I love that 'Siah brought them to you too! How sweet. And I also love your family picture at the park! Too cute
Yes, you do work hard, Anna, with 3 so close together. Someday, you will be glad they wanted you so much because when they get older it won't be the same. At least that's usually the way it is. You are a good mommy and you deserved the roses!
Neat family picture/s!
