From my earliest memories I always wanted to be a mom. I had lots of baby dolls that I practiced on. I love being a mom....I love each of my kids.....they're pretty cool! I love the kids that my kids have married that also get to call me mom (if they want). I love seeing my kids become parents and I adore the mom's that my grands call mom. Being a mom is a glorious thing....it's the best in my opinion!
My day was wonderful. Instead of breakfast in bed (because I'm not big on eating right away) Larry and I slept in. (that's what I wanted) We decided on just fruit for breakfast but since we slept in a little too long we had it after church. I love fruit!
I love church on Mother's Day. I love listening to the Primary Children sing to the mom's....it always makes my heart smile. I remember singing to my mom and that is just part of mother's day to me. I love getting chocolate truffles as a little gift at church. It's the best gift I have ever received at Church on Mother's Day. Much better than flowers (that always die because I don't have a green thumb) or a CD that I might listen to once or twice. Yes...I prefer the Chocolate Truffle that melts in my mouth!
I love visiting my mom and mom in law on Mother's Day. We usually go visit my parents first and I always enjoy our visit with them. They make me laugh and I'm so glad that I still have my parents to enjoy. I love them.
I love going to Larry's mom's. She has pizza and drinks for everyone and the rest of the families gather there as well and we always have a nice visit. I love seeing everyone and catching up. Mom let's the kids ride on Clark's scooters and the kids love it. Even mom took a few rides around the house with the kids this year. We even had a few BIG kids get crazy on them. I love this tradition. It's relaxing for me and the other mom's and fun for Larry's mom. I don't think she relaxes much but she said it's worth it. I'm glad because I love it!
I love seeing all my kids and grands and receiving kisses and hugs from all of them. Oh my family makes me smile and I'm so glad that they are mine forever! I am blessed and thank Heavenly Father all the time for the many Blessings he does send my way. Last night as Larry and I knelt to pray I made sure I didn't ask for one single thing....I just thanked HIM for being so kind and generous to me! I love Heavenly Father!
