Mothers Day 2010

When I woke up this morning I was kinda dreading the day. Mothers day hasn't been one of my favorite days. :( Ben is not the gift giving type. So naturally I don't usually get much for Mothers day. Then I went to church and came home with a whole different attitude. Here is what I learned... Mothers day is not about the gifts and all the fluffy stuff, it's about the love Heavenly Father has for us and allowing us the gift of our sweet children. Rather they are ours or our neighbors, we are all mother in one way or another. I did get great gift form the kids and love everyone of them.

My 5 sweet kids
The roses are form Church and the carnations are from the baseball game yesterday. Every year the ward gives all the ladies a rose and then yesterday after the game the boys gave their moms carnations. Very sweet.
Kaycee's gifts. A card she made with her P.A.L. A hand print card she made in church, a pop up card she made this morning on her own and a list of the family's names and a list she came up with of all my friends.
Here are the lists. She had everyone sign there names and the she named off all my friends she could think of and had Ben write them down
Matthew's pop up book he made in school. It said stuff like, my mom loves me because she takes care of me, my favorite time together is family night, If I could give my mom one thing it would be flowers. Very sweet.
Cole cute cut outs. It is a flag and a mountain. Just in case you couldn't tell. :)
James book he made in school. He says he isn't done yet. But it says stuff like I taught him how to read, I am a magician because I can find his watch. I am a chauffeur because I always drive him to baseball. And so on.

Maddy's Mothers day gift that was made in Nursery. Too cute
But here is the BEST gift of all, and I guess you can say its from Ben, My kids.
