Mother's Day

i can't believe this was my 3rd Mother's Day. (4th if you count when i was pregnant with Jack.) i could write page after page about how blessed i am to be a mother. there is no greater joy or responsibility to me than raising my children. i am so blessed to have an amazing husband that is so supportive & works so hard so that i can be home with my kids. i enjoy motherhood so much b/c i have such a sweet husband that takes excellent care of us.

we had such a fun day together yesterday. Ben & the kids gave me the Zumba game for Wii & some painted pottery from Paint a Piece. we spent the morning at church, then we had lunch at the club house with the Williams. we headed over to my parents to spend time with my mom & then went to small group.

i am so thankful for my family. so thankful for a wonderful mother & mother-in-law. so thankful for my husband. and so very thankful for my children. i absolutely LOVE motherhood.

a few pics from my iphone that day. i forgot to bring my camera along with us. (story of my life, ha!)

our church gave each mom 3 roses & a Starbucks gift card. so sweet. so thankful to be part of Revision Church!

the adorable little square plate, painted for me by Jack & Jovie. how cute is this?! i love it! and i love that they did all themselves. so precious. i will keep this forever!

sweet Jack. little boys are the sweetest!! he makes every day hilarious!

Psalm 127:3
"Behold, Children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward."

praying that i am always the godly mother that my children need. that i point them to Christ. teach them to serve. encourage them to love others. and prepare them for their own families. i am so humbled by God's gifts in my life. may i never take it for granted, or treat them as an obligation. but always, always raise them joyfully!

Happy Mother's Day!!!
