Mother's Day 2011

I love days when you have nothing really planned and it turns out to be one of the best days ever! Thats what happened for Mother's Day this year. We went to church and snuck out right after sacrament. I really didn't know what I wanted to do, just that I wanted to soak in the sun and my lovely family. We drove along the escarpment (which the Canadians call The Mountain) and jumped out of the car and started walking, we ended up going on an impromptu hike.

I am seriously so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and kids.  Some days it seems that I might go crazy with all of the chaos around me and then one little moment will happen at any given point during the day and make it all the craziness worth it. I am so grateful for having a husband who works so hard to provide for us, letting me stay home to raise our kids. I am so grateful for each one of my kids and there unique personalities, there has never been a moment when I am not learning something new from them. They have taught me patience, kindness, joy so many things that I would never get to experience if it wasn't for them. I am grateful for a wonderful mother, grandma, mother-in-law, and so many other amazing mothers who have taught me so much about the joys of motherhood. I always know that I have a mother, no matter what country I an living in, who is just a phone call away and will help me work out whatever I need to work on. And most importantly I am grateful for my Heavenly Father who trusted Dustin and I enough to send us Kennedy, Tyken, Raigan, and Skyler. And we are so blessed to be able to be together for eternity. Seriously, what more could a mom ask for?
