Mother's day was a little different this year. I didn't get to celebrate with my favorite Moms like every other year. Although that is something I always look forward to my family helped make it a pretty special day for me! The kiddos gave me cards and took turns doing my hair. Jake made awesome homeade pizza and we had cheesecake for dessert. Let's face it, I couldn't be the mom that I am without Jake. He helps me be a better parent and he is the best partner a girl could ask for!
I also have so many great mom's in my life! Two in particular are the ones I actually call mom. I grew up with a wonderful mom who always made us feel loved and now she does the same for our kiddos. I was also blessed to marry a handsome fella with a wonderful mom (and is also a wonderful grandma) who treats me just like one of her own and is just the best!
Jake stayed busy at work this week and during spare time hung out with us and did some projects at home. He also planted tomato plants for me for Mother's day. We especially had a fun time with him playing football tag and run sheep run at the school.
I have enjoyed my week off of school and had a good time with the kids and Jake. It is back to the grind next week. I also got a few extra projects done this week as well. I really enjoyed a zoom visit with Jake's mom and most of his siblings for Mother's day today.
Lawson has been practicing the guitar and is starting remember all the chords. He has also started doing the pogo stick and is killing it! His record was 167 jumps! What a champ.
Ava enjoyed a zoom visit with her friend from school and has been practicing piano more. She has memorized a couple of songs. She is also a great helper around the house!
Pierce has been doing great at Preschool and loves to ride his scooter. He really loves to be around mom lately, which is sweet. Him and Weston have been playing so nice together lately. It's cute!
Weston, Weston, Weston. He has such a personality now and isn't afraid to tell us what is up. We started potty training at the end of last week when I was done with finals. The first couple of days he would sit on the potty frequently, do nothing and then wet his pants right after. It was frusterating and I did a lot of extra laundry, but the second half of this week something clicked and he has been awesome! He has stayed dry for 4 days straight. Yay!
I am pretty lucky to be the mom of 4 great kids. All with such unique and strong personalities and good hearts. I know I can get frusterated sometimes and I don't always feel like I am doing it right, but I love being their mom. They are such a joy and Jake and I love them so much!
As Mother's Day comes to an end this year, I think about all the great examples of wonderful moms I have in my life. There are so many of you that mean a lot to me and help me be a better mom! It is a bummer that we can't all celebrate together this year, but it is nice to know that we are all doing this mom thing together, the best we can! Keep it up Momma's!
Here is a beautiful song that pretty much sums it all up:
"More Than Enough"
