I've tried several times to get a picture of the inside of one (of the four) cards Morgan made me for Mother's Day, but for some reason I'm camera illiterate. So here it is typed out.....
Mother,
I appreciate how you love us and treat us kindly. I decided that I would do you service because that is what you have been doing to us. It starts Monday morning and ends Monday night at 8:00. I will cook dinner and stuff. You just have to give me the recipe.
Love,
Morgan Ann and the family
I couldn't ask for better kids......

Why I have the best husband in the world.......
....because he's willing to have lots and lots of kids just so we can have one of these cool rides...
Ok, really- this is mine! Josh loves me so much (and we have enough kids) that after much discussion and lots of prayer he found this on Auto Trader for a good price and in good condition. This past Friday Josh and Nanette (my mother-in-law) drove 4 hours away to look at it- Josh came home with it. It's huge, but I LOVE it! It drives easily (kind of like a Suburban) and has plenty of space for all my kids (plus friends, plus room for us to have more kids......) Josh's older sister thinks we should paint a peace sign on it, and put a mattress in the back- but if we do that then we'll actually end up needing a bus.....So anyone in the market for a minivan- I have a Honda Odyssey calling your name.......
Mother's Day
**Pictures courtesy of Raelyn, age 4**
A little over eight years ago you could NOT have convinced me that I would, at this point, be a mother of four with one cooking inside. But now, you couldn't convince me I want anything else. I love being a mother- and although I feel like many of faults and flaws are brought out (temper to list one....) I also feel like my children (and their dad!!) bring out the best in me. I enjoy having in depth conversations with them, playing with them, snuggling with them, vacationing with them and teaching them- although they teach me much more than I could ever teach them.
I love my mom and feel so blessed to have her close by- she is a strength in my life- and when I grow up I want to be like her.
I had grand intentions of getting pictures of the kiddos with all their grandmas and great-grandmas we saw yeterday. Like all good plans- this one failed. I only remembered to try with one and then those pictures are horrible because I forgot to turn on the flash. I guess I'll try in the next few weeks.
This is how you look when your hopes and dreams are dashed......
....because your sister got to go on the four-wheeler and it wasn't your turn......
......life can be so hard sometimes.......
....but then you can be a spoiled little boy and daddy will take you on a dirt bike ride. Then you can live happily ever after.
