Mother's Day 2012

 I had a wonderful Mother's Day.  Jason and the kids made breakfast for me...eggs, waffles, bacon and cinnamon rolls!  YUMMY!  I would love to just shower this post with only positive, wonderful things to say but I feel like that would be fake. To be completely honest, this year has been really hard for me.  I have questioned my abilities as a mother a lot.  We have had a lot of struggles and I know I have made mistakes.  This year I have realized being a mom is REALLY HARD, REALLY TIRING,  REALLY FRUSTRATING and also WONDERFUL and AMAZING.  It has been a real eye-opener to many of my weaknesses.  Parenthood definitely brings out the best and the worst in you (or me in particular).  But I feel blessed to be a mother and know that if I put faith in my Savior and trust in Him, He will help me be the best mother I can be for my children.  Thank you to my own mother for your efforts and sacrifices since now I know how hard it can really be!  Thank you to everyone who let me bounce off parenting ideas and gave me love and support.  I am surrounded by AMAZING mothers and I am striving to follow your examples.

 Classic Ellie smile! It took me FOREVER to find the right hair flower for this dress, but I finally found the perfect one!

 Me and my darling boy Gavin! He is such a handsome boy!

Here's the outfit all together!  Yay!  I have waited like 2 months for her to wear this dress!
