Mother's Day

this boy

and this boy

and this girl

are my GREATEST GIFTS.  I'm so thankful everyday for my time with them & being given the chance to be their mom.  I also think about my own mom when I'm feeling overwhelmed & think HOW did she do this {5 kids, really}?  LOVE YOU MOM!  Being a mom is truly the craziest up & down roller coaster ride I've ever been on.  I'm doing my best & love these kids like crazy.  

Mother's Day was a relaxed day hangin' out around the house, I received some awesome, tear jerker cards from the boys, a plant from Evan & later in the day, we went to DQ {yum}.  Saturday I was able to do a little shopping for myself while Dan played mr mom & took the kids with him around the mall.  We had lunch w/ my sis & niece, got hair cuts, did a quick Menard's run & then home to relax.  Just a nice, relaxing weekend enjoying the lovely weather.
