Happy Mother's Day. . .plus one

To all the mothers I know and love. . . Happy Mother's Day I hope you have a wonderful day.
I would like to give a special thanks to some of the special women and girls in my life.

To Tyler's Mother, Karen, and my mother-in-law. She helped to make Tyler who he is and I love her for that. She is such a fun Grammie with our kids and they love to spend time with her. She is an LVN and is currently working towards getting her degree to become an RN. We appreciate her example of hard work and her fun attitude.

To Tyler's step mom, Gail, and my other wonderful mother-in-law. She also helped in raising Tyler and teaching him important lessons. She is a great Grandma and our kids love her as do we. She is manager at the hospital and has worked for many years as a RN. We appreciate her generosity and her sweet spirit.

To my loving mother,Cherie. My mom raised me with love and service and I appreciate all she has done for me and my family. She is a terrific Nana and our kids just love her. She has been a teacher for about 17 years and teaches third grade and really enjoys it. We love and appreciate her caring spirit and dedicated attitude.

My wonderful daughters who have made me a mother. Rylin is a joy to have in our home she is so smart and serious. She has learned to be more silly with the help of her younger sister. She is excited and nervous about going into Kindergarten. She is doing a fabulous job of learning to read and is excited to do swim lessons again this summer. She is a wonderful helper and does a great job of doing her chores. Jordyn she is just a bundle of fun. She always has a smile on her face and can make you laugh. She loves to sing and dance around. She can be daring and is lucky to have an older sister who takes great care of her and always is watching out for her. She can't wait for pre-school and is going to do great there. They have been a joy to me and I am so blessed.

And we have some exciting and wonderful news. We are expecting our third child and I am 12 weeks pregnant and the baby is due in November. This is a picture of the baby at 9 weeks. We could not be more excited about adding a new little one to our family. I feel truly blessed to be a mother and am thankful to all the wonderful mothers who have helped make me into the mother I am and how I am striving to be better. I am grateful to my wonderful mothers, sister-in-laws, friends, teachers, and children for their example, love, and support. Tyler and the girls have been so helpful during this time and we can't wait to meet this new baby.
