Grateful to be a mommy...

I sure am lucky to be a mama! Mothers day was wonderful this year. (despite the fact that we had to speak in church!) I am lucky to have these two to call my own. It is by far the hardest thing I've ever done, but definitely the most rewarding as well. These two are fun and sassy and hilarious and loud and crazy and keep me on my toes! It was a bittersweet day at church, saying good bye to all of our friends. It was our last Sunday in the Bowdish ward. We will be moving into the Belle Terre ward boundaries, here in the Valley, but actually were just recently called to serve in the Spanish Branch here in Spokane. We are so excited! That will be our new home ward starting this Sunday. Primary, we hear, is in English, because most kids speak it, so luckily Tucker and Taylor will understand Primary, but everything else is in Spanish so I'm hoping these two pick up a bit of Spanish along the way! :) That is why we were asked to speak, because it was our last Sunday! boo!
Anyway, back to Mothers day. It was wonderful. A delicious home made breakfast, beautiful home made cards, two cute kids, it had it all! :)

After we snapped our annual Mothers day picture, Ben had to hop in and get one with his kiddos! :)

It was a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon; naps, food and reading were all had by all. The weather was even gorgeous so we got to eat a BBQ dinner and play outside. The kids sure do love being out there!

Of course, all good things must come to an end, and somehow whenever T&T play together, it usually ends like this:

As much as he loves to love on her, he also loves to torment her! :) Such is the life of a little sister, I suppose.
Happy Mothers day to my own wonderful mother, and thank you for all you do!
