We had a great Mother's Day weekend! I am so lucky to be the momma to my two sweet girls. The Lord has ministered so much to me through them and i am so thankful that he entrusted them to me. I also am very thankful that he gave me the momma that I have. We are so blessed to have such a thoughtful and wonderful Nina!
I woke up Sunday morning to several cards from the girls, and one from Eric as well. This card that my mom helped the girls make was so precious to me.
Look at those precious little flowers. HAND PRINTS!!! I die.. this is so precious!
My mom asked Gracie a few questions about me and this is how she answered. Sidenote: Auntie A is what my niece calls me. Gracie is always talking about "auntie a" to me, but she didn't act like she thought I was Auntie A. I guess I know better now.... which kind of makes me mad when she will tell me that she "not like Auntie A".. She's a precious girl... but can be pretty ornery at times!
The girls and Eric got me a few things I have been asking for. A 10 cup Hamilton Beach food processor...
And Anchor Hocking glass storage bowls and lids. I picked up some of these a few months back and soon after I threw out all of my plastic containers. Glass is the way to go, y'all! It cleans up so much better and doesn't leave that dirty ring!
Here is my sweet baby after church. The look on her face cracks me up! She's like "not ANOTHER picture!!!"
This is what my life is these days... begging my two year old to take a picture with me. She can't even be bribed into it these days... this is the best we got and this was in the midst of the bribery...
She loves to take pictures with her sister though. Every time she gives her a kiss she tells me to take a picture.
Adeline doesn't have a choice though, she's just happy that momma holds her! Don't mind that random stuffed duck behind me... that was left over from Gracie's bribe that didn't work.
Sweet Gracie Girl, she's getting so big!
her bishop dress was a little long, so it had to be tied up around her waist at play time!

Saturday my mom, Adeline and I all went to a baby shower for my BFF. She is due with a little girl {isabelle} on July 2. It's so funny that we are best friends because we're so different in a lot of ways. She is a self proclaimed hippie and that is a henna tattoo that she had painted on her stomach during the shower. I passed on the henna... she rocked it though! I think she's just glowing!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. The sermon at church focused on motherhood and how the best gift a mother can give her children is showing pure, genuine faith. I pray that I always remember that my actions speak louder than my words, and I pray that I always set a good example for the little eyes that are constantly watching me.
Proverbs 31: 26-31
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
