isn't is wonderful???

being a mommy (or daddy). i love.... how my girls fit just perfectly in my lap and arms. how they know when to kiss me. how they are there when i need them and even when i don't. how i can feel their love when they hug me and see it when i look in their eyes. how i know that they are mine and i am thiers. how i know i will be with them forever. oh, how grateful i am for my girls. i have to remind myself that once in a while because it is easy to take them forgranted. i am so happy that i am able to be home with them almost all the time. i am able to walk jayde to and from school everyday. i am able to volunteer at her school and take her to dance class and piano. i get to spend the day with savana and just love her and teach her. i get to be there for the little things in their lives that may not seem to matter that much, but they do. it is the best!!! i love my girls and hope that i never take them forgranted because before i know it, i will blink and they will be getting married. i love you jayde and savana. you are my life and i can't imagine life without you. thanks for the good times and the bad. you're the best!



this picture is from last year, but it is one of my very favorites! it shows both of their personalities to a t! i love it! and yes, i need to take more pictures of my kids!

brittany and rocky wedding + briley

brittany and rocky got married a while back (i won't say when because then you will know how horrible of a blogger i am :) their wedding was beautiful and holds a special place in my heart because not only did they get married but they also had brittany's sweet daughter briley sealed to them. 5 years ago this month, we did the same thing. when i married my husband he made a commitment to love me and jayde and i know how incredibly special that is. getting married in and of itself is a beautiful thing, but when you add a child into the picture, it makes it that much sweeter. i am so excited for these three and hope they have the most wonderful life together!
