Finally!
For all of you who have been waiting for a picture of Syd's final hair cut, here it is!
I love it! It's so cute and SO easy to comb. Yes, I miss her long beautiful hair, but this cut was so worth it!
While Lisa was in the hair chopping mode, I had her chop mine too. This picture is NOT my favorite but I put it up for two reasons: 1. To show Chad's Dad my dark, short hair AND 2. To show you what a good photographer Sydney is! She took this picture of me while we were sitting on the lawn at the St. George temple. I think she's got some potential!
Here is a picture of the girlies at the condo in St. George. Aren't they so sweet?! I love it when they're all happy and not yelling at each other - or me, for that matter!
We got to talk to both of my missionary brothers this weekend for Mother's Day. It was so fun to hear their voices and listen to their stories. They have learned so much and have grown so much ~ I can't wait for them to come home! In fact, Mikey got his release date and he'll be home on August 17th!! That's like less than 100 days! It'll be so fun for him to come home in time for three new babies to be born!! I can't wait!
Speaking of Mother's Day, mine was WonDErFul! The girls brought me breakfast in bed ~ yummy french toast. Then, after church, we headed out to my mom and dad's where we just hung out waiting for the brother to call. My gift for mother's day this year was a maternity clothes shopping spree while we were down in St. George ~ which was absolutely what I wanted!
I am so grateful the Lord has given me the opportunity to be a mother to His daughters. I can't even thank Him enough for the beautiful, wonderful girls we have been blessed with! They are all so different from each other and each has captured a special place in my heart forever. I can't wait to meet our newest little angel girl! I'm so excited to watch the girls hold their new baby sister. I think they are more excited than we are! I am also so thankful to the Lord for helping me find the man of my dreams! Chad is all I ever hoped for and a little more! :) I am so grateful that he's so thoughtful and helpful. He honors his priesthood and fulfills his callings in the church above and beyond what is required of him. The most important quality I wanted in a husband was that honored the priesthood and was able to bless our family with that incredible power -and he does just that. He is such an example to me! I love you, boyfriend!
Being a mom is not an easy job for me and I am not perfect, but I sure try to be the kind of mom to them that my mom was and still is for me. So patient, kind, loving, faithful, forgiving and wonderful! I definitely try to be like her in every way possible and am so grateful for her example to me and for her friendship! (I love you, Momma!!)
And of course, my hubby's Mom, who I am so thankful to be able to call Mom -- what a wonderful woman! I admire her so much and am so grateful for all she did to raise the super wonderful son that she did! I wish we lived closer to each other so we could see each other more often, but Mom, know I love you and think of you daily!
I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
I have literally hundreds of other pictures from St. George that hopefully I'll get put on here sometime. . . I love having this blog for the purposes of our family history and can't wait to get it all printed up one of these days!
