Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy Mothers Day! Our Mothers days are BUSY around our house!! I have so many women that are mothers to me, that we spend most of the day bouncing from house to house! This year, Davids cousin reported his mission, so we got to go hear him speak. He did an AMAZING job...I can tell he was a great missionary!

This is me and my dude! He gave me a hug for Mothers day....and that was the BEST gift I got!!

After church, dinner...and a NAP...we got to go talk to our Scottie Missionary! He is serving a mission in Texas and is doing so good! It is fun to get to talk to him! I can tell that he is a great missionary!!
Even Aiden talked to Scott! He had been practicing his "Hi Scott" all day!
I just want to say thank you to all of the moms that have mothered me!
My mom and I weren't always close. We had a rocky realtionship for a while, but now, I am proud to call her one of my best freinds! She loves Aiden, and wants to spend as much time with him as she can. I didn't really apprecaite he until I became a mom. I realized that it isn't easy, and that I held her resposible for alot of things that were out of her control. I know that she did the best she could with the hand she was delt, and I apprecaite all that she does for me!
My Dads wife Barbara, takes care if my dad. When my dad got married, I found myself switching rolls with him. I was the one worried about his future. But, Barbara takes good care of him, and that is what he needs!
Janell, she is one of my very best friends! I love her like she is my own mom. David loves her for her cooking and told me yesterday that I needed to live with Janell for a month and learn all her recipies!! She is an amazing woman!
Davids mom is a wonderful woman as well. Aiden loves her! They have had a special bond since Aiden was just a baby. He would coo, and laugh at her when he wouldn't with any one else. They have a pretty special relationship. I can't thank her enough for raising such a great son. David is an AMAZING dad, and husband, and I know that he learned alot of that from his mom.
Rindee is always there to give me advice!! She is the parenting example that I turn to 99% of the time! She is an amazing woman! My brother is out of town alot for his job, and so most of the time, Rindee does the pareting by herself. I don't know how she does it...but she has GREAT GREAT kids!
So, to all of you moms who are examples to me...THANKS!! I love being a mom. It is one of lifes greatest opportunities! Having moms to help me be a mom makes the job easier!
