Blessed.

I was treated Mother's Day morning to breakfast in bed. It featured: a cold egg, cold toast with plenty of butter, really cold oatmeal, 4 kids (and 1 husband) surrounding me with huge smiles, and lots of cards, pictures, notes. Oh and lots of love radiating towards me from all sides.

 It couldn't have been more perfect.

My first ever Mother's Day banner!  

My awesome Mother's Day loot :) 

My heart was very full all day. They also tried extra hard to "be good" throughout the day. I feel so grateful to my Heavenly Father for blessing us with these little munchkins. 

I also thought about my own mom and how much I love her and all that she's sacrificed for me. And I got to have a nice long conversation with her on the phone and told her those things :)

I've also been blessed with an awesome mother-in-law. Without her I wouldn't have my sweetheart. She's also a  fun grandma and loves the kids so much. 
Isn't this a great family picture? Kinda screams "the 70's" :)

Finally, this is one of the pages in Holly's little book she made me at school.   

For sure one of the best compliments I've ever received.
