HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

Being a mother is probably the hardest thing I've ever done.  As much as I love it, there are so many moments where I realize I must be the worst mother on the planet. In the way I react to my children or explode at them for whatever the reason.  As a christian its even harder.  I know what I'm supposed to do, but in the moment I don't want to think about what I'm SUPPOSED to do, I just want to react.  I often think, "I would never speak to another person the way I just did to my child, why did I just do that?" I am so blessed for having small children who give me grace and mercy MULTIPLE times in a day and are always willing (for now) to forgive me for making a mistake. I used to say I wish there were more hours in a day, but now I have a whole new idea about that! I am perfectly ok with the 24 hours that we have and I am glad that I can start over everyday. I think God knew what he was doing when he made time. I am so blessed to be a mommy to these two amazing little human beings (including the one inside my tummy, always making his/her presence know).  With every mistake that I make and every accomplishment that I do with raising them, they are the ones who are always teaching me to be better. I know I will fail and make mistakes, but  I will keep trying everyday to become a better mother...because I love them.

Happy Mother"s Day! 

Here are some pictures that I took of the kiddos for Mother's Day (for their Grandmas).

Whew, trying to take pictures of toddlers is no easy task, especially if its your own! Well, this is how they all turned out!
