My favorite things about Mother's Day

1- Breakfast in bed.
2- Homemade gifts and cards from the boys.
3- Chocolate from Church
4- Enjoying time with my children.
5- Brad patiently trying to calm the storm of
-crying babies
- Kaleb making cinnamon toast (half of which ended up on the floor)
- Ethan and Gavin wrestling on the floor
all so that I can blog in peace.


This was a gift that Ethan made in school. After leaving it on the stairs for half of the day, he asked me if I looked at it to which I replied, "looked at what?" It used to have a chocolate candy in the middle and when Ethan gave it to me he immediately asked me if he could have the chocolate. I told him that the flower was too pretty to eat, and two minutes later Gavin pulled the candy off and ate it.

I love the questionnaires that they have the kids answer. Their answers always make me laugh. Ethan's answer to how much does your mom weigh was 30 pounds "YES!"
Jaron says I think mom is funny when she gets barfed on by Eli and Isaac.
Kaleb's favorite thing about mom is that she lets us jump on the tramp and watch t.v.


So, even though being a Mom is harder than I could ever imagine, these things make it all worth it. Happy Mother's Day!

I'm glad you had such a great mother's day. And, wow it sounds like I need to lose about 140 pounds to ever share clothes with you again! OOOHHH!

I honestly don't know how you do it. I am running crazy with four and my baby is singular. your house should be interesting during those teenage years.

That picture of you and your ten boys turned out soooo cute! I don't want to know what that tantrum was like when Ethan found out that Gavin ate the hurshey kiss he patiently waited for and I'm sure thought was rightly his. Your babies are growing way too fast.
