Happy Mother's Day!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and we are actually going to celebrate it with my family tonight. I love this holiday! Always have, but now that I am a mom I have a much greater appreciation and love for my mom.

My mom has taught me so much in my life. I am and will always be grateful that Heavenly Father sent me to the family I am in. My mom is the most patient, loving, and kindest person I know. She is my rock and always helps me look at the bright side of situations and keep my emotions in check. She is more than my mom- she is one of my best friends and closest confidants.

Happy Mother's Day mom! I love you!

And now for the other mother in my life! Nancy, my mother-in-law!

I couldn't have married into a better family. I love my in-laws and they are constantly teaching me different things. I couldn't have asked for a better person to raise Nathan. Nancy is such an easy-going, fun, and kind hearted person. She is consistently teaching and showing me how to make the best of every situation that you are put in.

Happy Mother's Day Nancy!

Eli got very lucky to have two extraordinary ladies for his grandmas!

I am also grateful that Heavenly Father has chosen me to raise, at least, one of his chosen spirits and allowed me to become a mom. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity which I had to experience being pregnant and growing a baby inside me, and now for the journey of parenthood that Nathan and I are experiencing. Aside from Nathan, Eli is my greatest blessing. He has filled a hole in our family that we did not realize was there.

Thank you Eli for letting me be your mom!

Somedays I feel completely inadequate in my calling as a mom, but I know that if I try to raise my child with the help of the Lord, then I will be blessed.

I love this video! It shows all that I hope to do and be as a mother.
