A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

Mother's Day



I LOVE being a mom - at least most days! :)

This is why I am the luckiest mom:

* I have 2 boys that love each other and are each other's best friends even though they are 9 years apart (at least most of the time.)

* My 2 boys love me, Nic will still even give me a hug at 13 - not in front of people though. Justin gives hugs and kisses All the time still - he's still 4!

* Because Heavenly Father trusted me to love and help raise 2 of his beautiful sons.

* I get to stay home (thanks to my husband) and be there for them 24 hours a day. They know if they need something I am always there.

* Because I have a wonderful husband by my side to help raise our 2 boys.

But most of all I am so lucky that I get to do all the little things that count so very much!
I get to sooth tears, put bandaids on skinned knees and pretend boo boos, pray with and for my boys, give advise, advocate, snuggle into bed, listen, give hugs, hold hands, make lunches, bake cookies, giggle over something silly, play dart tag, teach how to pillow fight, go to the park, text message my teen silly stuff, and tell them both I love them.

Being a mom is the best job on earth!
