Mother's Day

This post is a couple days late, but I wanted to wish my cute mom a Happy Mother's Day and thank her for all she does for me! I also need to tell my boys how much I love them. They won't read this for a few years, but I need to express my gratitude for them.

Being a mom is everything and nothing I thought it would be. I've experienced just about every emotion in existence when it comes to my boys. I know I've only been a mom for 4 1/2 years, and I have forever to go, but I have learned so much and I'm so grateful for this calling.

I'm so grateful for Max. I honestly have to fight back tears every time I think of him becuase he is such an special human being. (Yep, flood gates just opened). I panic a lot because I feel like I'm inadequate for this responsibility. But I smile more than I panic because of his sweetness.

Carter makes me laugh every day. He's got the funniest personality and an imaginative mind. Watching him grow and learn has been so fun. He is an amazing brother to Max.

I have been so emotional lately (shocking, I know) about motherhood. It's amazing how much you can love an individual and how time only makes it stronger.

I love you Max and Carter and I feel honored to be your mom. I'm doing my best, and will always do all I can to be a good mother!
