The LONG and SHORT of it

Life is too LONG to spend it alone.

{A few weeks ago I drove out to California all by myself with both babes. I desperately wanted to go see my family and Mark couldn't go. I decided that life is too short not to be spontaneous and take advantage of every opportunity to be with people you love.}

{Sydney got to see her BFF Blair}

{While we were there we got to go to my Uncles wedding}

{It was on a yacht in Newport Harbor}

{And Dallen LOVED the candy bar}

{And I loved spending time with my sissys}

Life is too SHORT to miss the precious moments.

{The very next weekend Sydney and I had a flight to Utah to attend my cousins wedding. We wished the boys could have come but we couldn't all afford to go. The girls had a great time though.}

{Sydney, and all of us, loved the flowers}

{Four generations}

{Nothing beats time with family}

Much is Given

Motherhood is by far the greatest gift that I have been given in my life. Nothing else compares to being a Mom. And lucky me, I have the 2 most beautiful and wonderful children a woman could ask for. Motherhood is most definitely the hardest job I have ever had and even far more rewarding. Like it says in the Doctrine and Covenants Section 82 verse 3 "For of him unto whom much is given much is required". I am grateful to do all that is required for all that I have been given!! I am thankful for a Heavenly Father who loves me enough to create the perfect little family just for me and for sending two angels to live in my home and to call me Mommy. Happy Mother's Day to me :)

And Happy Mother's day for the first time to my beautiful sister and a happy 30 years of Mother's day to my own wonderful Mom, and to all the Mothers who have influence in my life, enjoy your special day, you've earned it!
