Mother's Day 2011

Wow, can't believe I will be celebrating my 5th Mother's day tomorrow! I can barely remember the days before motherhood, just moments. I can not imagine any day without being a mom now.
Today I got an amazing surprise Heirloom. I was given a ring that was Nanny's from Nana to treasure forever. Since I don't Live close to my side of the family I became close to Wade's grandparents, especially over the last few years. With them both passing with in the last 6 months, it has definetly made me looks at life differently. Trying to slow down and only worry about the small things that make life worth it, versus the big stuff that can make life no fun!!! Yep I am trying to do the opposite of the " don't sweat the small stuff", i think it is the small stuff is what makes people happy and feel loved! It doesn't matter what kind of car, house or clothes you have, but it does matter that you read to your little ones, take them to the park and eat sandwiches or cereal for dinner vs. cooking because you skipped the park with them to cook...... Enjoying more of each other with the simple things..... I love my family and and some blessed! Thank you God for allowing me to be a Mommy to Two amazing kids that melt my heart and to have the family I have. I love them to the moon and back........
