My First Mother's Day

Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while,

but their hearts forever.  ~Author Unknown

This past Mother's Day was extra special to me

because I am now a mother.  

I have a deeper understanding of the pure love

mother's have for there children.



My first Mothers Day



This Mother's Day I thank my mom

for her example of motherhood. 

Without a doubt I have been taught by the best!

Celebrating Mother's Day at my parents with family.
My Grandma is in the middle...She is an amazing
mom, grandmother woman and friend!

Mom and I on Mother's Day

• I love my mom because she is a hard worker. Her energy for life amazes me everyday.
•  I love my mom because she is beautiful inside and out. When I was little I remember watching her put on her makeup, curl her hair and put on her high heels. I wanted to be just like her.  I take such pride in the compliments i receive when people say I look like my mother.
• I love my mom because she married and loves my dad. I am thankful everyday to have the parents that I have.
• I love my mom because she is always positive and happy. She loves serving and she always tries to see the good in people.
• I love my mom because she is funny…especially when we are playing cards and she is tired…she gets pretty hilarious.
• I love my mom because she has instilled in me good morals and values. I am grateful for her dedication to bring us to church.
• I love my mom because she has been a great example on how to be a good wife, homemaker, mother and friend.
• I love my mom because she has taught me not to waste. Because of my mom I understand the importance of a dollar and how to make it last.
• I love my mom because she loves my baby like one of her own…I am so grateful Ethan has my mom in his life.
• I love my mom because she is my mom and loves me unconditionally. I am so grateful that she was chosen to be my mom, because she's the best.

I was hoping to add some past photo memories of my mom and I

but I can't figure out how to use my scanner...

so I have included some pictures of Ethan and mom!

"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. 

It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking

 around outside your body."    ~Elizabeth Stone

 

I am honoured to be your mom Ethan!

...You bring so much joy to my life...

About one week into motherhood

The day of Ethan's baby blessing

Beach Day

Yup look close...Ethan pooped on me!
I guess my idea to "air him out" backfired on me (literally)

This cute baby outfit was given to Ethan by Grandma Richards

We love nap time

I FEEL SO LUCKY TO BE YOUR MOM ETHAN!
