"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

I am so lucky to be their Mom

Everyday I feel so blessed to be a Mom, to be able to wake up and see these 4 children who love me so much. I feel so lucky to be able to stay home with them and to be there when they forget something at school, to do their hair in the morning and to make sure they have a lunch, to make sure that homework gets put in their backpack and it is done, or when they need a story or a hug or just to sit on my lap, I am lucky to be home when I am needed the most. I am lucky to have a husband who works so hard so that I can stay home with these sweet children. I would not trade my job for any other in the world.  I have felt a little uneasy lately about having 5 kids, I don’t know how in the world I will do it all, but I know I will, because I know that it always works out and things fall into place. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday to have these sweet children and to be their Mom. Here is my attempt at Easter pictures of all four kids and boy was it a job. My little boy did not want to sit still, but these are my favorites, I love them all because they have my children in them. DSC_1100-2DSC_1032DSC_0932DSC_0941DSC_0968-2DSC_0724
