motherhood

As we celebrate the nobility of motherhood on Sunday I've been thinking about why I love being a mommy. When I am have green marks on my new carpet from boy's spit up and Kamryn is being a little smarty pants, I have wonder if it is worth it? 

Then I take one look at this smile and get my answer.
The highlight of my day is when my boy does something for the first time.
...or when we play hide 'n go seek
and giving my baby his baba.
Saving him from almost falling down the stairs and out his rocker makes me feel like a hero.
he knows that this face will melt my heart and I'll give him WHATEVER he wants.
Seeing the beautiful person my daughter is turning out to be makes me the happiest mommy in the world. Because I had a lot to do with that.
The funny moments between the spit up and tantrums are just priceless.
I am my kids' mom. 
Now I'm going to give my sleeping babies kisses and get some much needed rest. 
I hope EVERYONE has a wonderful mother's day!

My fav. pic is the one with lil' Kami showing butt-crack whilst playing with Dil-Miester. What makes it especially awesome is to look at it right after you see what a wonderful person she is turning out to be. Haha. Dil-Miester is a little pimp daddy. END of story.

That unhappy little face will have me doing cartwheels if I could turn it into a smile. I love those little one so much. Have fun at Disneyland and don't let Kamryn go on anything scary. She is still too little.
