Happy Mother's Day!

A Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mothers and to all my friends who are mothers! Your wisdom and sharing of your experiences as a mother help me in so many ways on my own journey as a mom.  I am so grateful I have a Father in Heaven who knows where my weaknesses are and fills them with such special people to help me out! For my children, I could not be more blessed! After finding out last year that it is a miracle we even have any, I look at my role as a mother with different eyes. I think it has helped me not take for granted what a beautiful gift each of my children are. My Brianna, such a sweet and tender girl. No matter when or where, she is always so willing to be a helper. She never complains if I ask her for something and shows great love towards her siblings and especially to me. I love her so much! My Nate, is going to make a great father some day. I have never seen a boy so enthralled with babies as he is. It warms me to the core to see him interact with Alex, and to watch Alex's face light up with joy when Nate does. Nate is another tender child who wants to please everyone. Kids are drawn to him to be his friend, and such a loyal and devoted friend he makes. He is an amazing child. I am so grateful he is my son! Natalie, even though she is constantly on the move, she never misses a detail. She is such a devoted child to making sure she knows you. Anything that will make you smile and happy, she has it figured out. If she gets in her mind to do something nice for someone, she sticks with it from beginning to end with a smile on her face. She is also a child who laughs for almost anything. Once she starts, it almost always ends in tears because it is so hard she cannot stop. I love her and enjoy watching her grow and mature. William is just a sweetie. He is so much like his dad where I am concerned. He will go to great lengths to open a door for me or to pick me a flower, even if it is somewhere he is not suppose to go. His heart is sincere. He is always the one to give others a hug. He knows how to melt your heart. With all the challenging times he has been through, I am so glad he has turned out so well! Alex...we call him "Mr. Smiles!" I have never known a baby to smile as much as Alex does.  It is very easy to get smile pictures of him because he smiles on cue.  He is such a sweet baby. I really look forward to seeing what kind of traits he will develop as he grows. He is surrounded by such love, I hope they will be fantastic traits to carry him through a happy life. I am so grateful for my five little miracles. They are so special to me. I feel honored to be their mom. Even though I am their "teacher" also, I feel like I am taught way more by them than I could ever teach them myself. They are wonderful! Most of all, I am grateful for my fantastic, superb, incredible, totally devoted husband. Sam is a miracle all on his own. He loves me so unconditionally and puts up with so much. He is such a fantastic father, I could have never asked for someone better. There isn't anyone. He gives his all to make me and the kids happy.  He is such a hard worker, and never a complainer. He loves us so much, and it really shows! He makes my role as a mother such an enjoyable one. I feel so blessed to have him in my life.
