Mother's Day

I had the best Mother's Day. Sean was so sweet and made sure that I got flowers and cards from the girls. But it just seemed that throughout the day, my girls were constantly reminding me of why I love being a mom.

Taylee got to sing with the Primary in Sacrament meeting, and she was right in the front row with a huge smile on her face the whole time...she really did not know the words, but thats ok, she was just so cute and all I could do was smile back at her. And then she got to give her first talk in Primary. All week she has been telling us that she gets to talk into the microphone. She has been so excited. I got a little worried when I was sitting with her because both of the other kids from her class were scared and their parents ended up doing the scripture and prayer for them. I leaned over to Taylee and asked her if she was ready, and she got that beautiful smile on her face and said, "Of course, mommy." And she was. She did such a good job.

But it gets even better.

When we got home from church, Sean's dad had followed us so that he could tell Taylee what a good job she had done (for anyone who does not know, my in-laws live in the same ward as we do so they were able to sneak in and watch Taylee too), well my little sweetheart had gotten a treat bag in sunbeams, and she pulled out one of her candies and gave it to her grandpa and told him to share it with grandma for coming to wach her. And then she gave another candy to Sean and said "thank-you for watching me," and then she had a small Hershey' bar and she brought it to me and said, "Here mommy, this is your favorite. Thank-you for helping me." By then I was tearing up and just had to give her a hug. I was so proud of her.

And then to top off the wonderful day, Brynlee took her first 'longer' set of steps. She has been taking a step here and there, but at Mom's house, she took about six steps in a row. (Skye and Mom are witnesses). Both girls were just wonderful and I can't say it enough...I love being a mom!
