Love Being a Mom

Lots to Celebrate!

With Mother's Day tomorrow and my babies turning 2 and 4 in the next 2 weeks, there is lots to celebrate.  Mommy is also turning 40!!!!  

Motherhood is hard to put in words.  It is the most exhausting job that I love doing.  I think back on my life before I had my children.  I look at life different now.  I love looking at life through my kid's eyes.  They see things that I have not noticed in years.  Like being able to see the moon in the daytime.  God has definitely used them to show me things about myself that I never realized.  They have brought so much joy to my life.  

The days can be long and just when you think you are going to break, they say something so cute or run and give me a hug or tell me I look "bootiful".  And it is all worth it.

It is hard to believe that they are about to be 4 and 2.  Where did the time go?  They are at such a fun stage right now.  We have spent lots of time on the back porch and playing in the yard.  Somehow Bailey can play in the dirt and still come out clean.  On the other hand, Keenan can be outside for 5 minutes and be covered in dirt.  They truly balance each other out.  God knew what He was doing by giving them each other.

These are a couple of pictures I took the other night after dinner.  We like to eat on the porch and hang out after dinner.  As you can see Bailey is all relaxed and Keenan is full of smiles.

Happy Mother's Day!
