This is one HAPPIEST MOM day!!!


I truly am the happiest mom!! My kids are wonderful! I honestly have no words to describe how amazing they are!! I have to show off the wonderful gifts I got from them today. I LOVE homemade, from the heart gifts for mothers day. I still have all their drawings of me as a big head with little lines sticking out from the head (representing the arms and legs). They are priceless works of art. As the years have gone by, it has been fun watching the evolution of the drawings and gifts. This year is the year that tops it all....wow.....just take a look!

First is Amanda
Amanda is taking an advanced digital technology class at school. A few weeks ago the teacher announced that they needed to do a project with vinyl lettering. Well, Amanda went up to her teacher and asked if she could do something for mother's day. He agreed. This BEAUTIFUL display is the result!! Here's some background that makes it even more special.....a couple of years ago while we were visiting the Sacred Grove, Amanda took some pictures. The pictures turned out so beautiful. I decided to make them bigger and put them in some nice frames for our wall in the front room. I've been wanting to get some vinyl letters to put on the wall that had something to do with prayer. Amanda remembered this and came up with this project for school. I LOVE IT!!!! Now, in my front room I have an entire wall with my daughter's beautiful artistic talent on display. It is so peaceful and motivating. Thank you Amanda!!





2nd is Nathan

Nathan handed me a cool homemade card and inside the card was a DVD....WOW!! He stayed up late the night before creating this fantastic movie for me. Who needs to buy movie tickets when you have such a talented son! I love his talent. He is the most creative young man I know! He has come up with so many fun and adventurous lego movies. Nathan makes my life fun. He brings laughter and happiness all the time. Thank you Nathan!!!
Here's the DVD he made for me. (pause my blog music first)


Hopefully next year I'll have one, two, or three more amazing kids to add to my happiest mom day :)!!!!!!!! Keep us in your prayers....no news yet.

Julie, I always felt like you and your family were incredible when I lived by you just following my gut but reading your blog has really touched my heart. Thanks for sharing your wonderful life and all about your remarkable kids. You are the best mom and your beautiful children are a testiment of that.
