This mothers, Mother's Day

Mother's Day weekend kicked off bright and early Friday with gorgeous flowers delivered to the house! Everlee did such good job picking out such beauties, and her card was lovely. Then when Evs woke up, I found a thoughtful, sweet, and perfect card of flowers painted by Evs, and given to me by Brigett! I loved going into her room Friday morning, and seeing this awesome surprise in her dresser! Thanks Brigett for thinking of me. 

Friday afternoon I got my mothers day gift, and as always, it was very well thought out. Daddy and Evs got me(and us) an ice cream maker! Yummo!

When daddy asked Evs what kind of ice cream she wanted to make me, she said strawberry. So strawberry ice cream was made, frozen over night, and enjoyed after breakfast :)

It's cold-Ice cream headache!!!

Saturday we spent the afternoon at The Smiths, along with poppa and gramma k, and the DeVos family. We had a great night, and as always Evs was in heaven over at the Smiths, playing with her cousins. Thanks for having us over.  

Sunday we woke up to daddy cooking us a special breakfast! He is such a good cook, and we have gotten super spoiled with this Sunday morning tradition. We had a relaxing day of simply being together, laughing, fishing, going to the park , and loving one another.

 Being a mom, working, and being a business partner, is hard work. Somebody always seems to be needing something from you. Work doesn't just stay at work, and there are times when you don't know how to balance the three, how much more you can do, or how much more you can give. I think, how can I meet everyone's needs, and feel like I have some me time..... Wait what is that;) I realize that as mom's, we somehow manage to just get S$@T done. 

I look at Everlee's beautiful face, her toothy smile, feel her touch, hear her say thank you, or I love you, watch her do something super hilarious, do something somewhat cantankerous, and everything is right in my world. I waited 9 years for this miracle, and being a mom is all about sacrifices. 

We typically put ourselves last, and our children and husbands needs way before ours. I am happy to do so every day, and kudos to all of the moms out there doing the same, and more! Being a mommy is the hardest job/responsibility/thing I have ever done. But gosh darn it, it is the most rewarding, and it completes me. I love that little girl, and am so proud to be her mommy. Mommy-a word I will never grow tired of hearing:)

Thank you to my hubby for understanding me(as much as you can understand a girl), my wants, my needs, my appreciation for our time together, and for making this day special.
