“Celebrations Of Another School Year”

I can’t believe it!!!! Another school year has passed! They weren’t lying when they said “DON’T BLINK!”

My baby has finished kindergarten! They have all grown so much this year! I am so proud of them all! The end of the year is always a fun time of  parties & celebrations and Fun Day! You must have snow cones & get wet, have fun with friends, take those pictures with your teachers for a wonderful school year and be brave enough to get in the DUNK TANK! It’s been a wonderful year with the very best teachers for my kids... teachers they will miss and truly have a place in our hearts forever! We LOVE SUMMER... so as hard as it may be to say goodbye to those amazing teachers and school year.... we are HAPPY it’s SUMMER! My favorite part is cleaning out the backpacks and throwing away & cleaning out SO MUCH STUFF! Just kidding... really it’s sleeping in and late nights and friends and NO MORE SCHEDULES! Whooo Hooo! Happy Summer! Happy Summer! Happy Summer!

“Whose Place No One Else Can Take”

Mother’s Day is always special! It’s a day of reflection and gratefulness! Reflecting back on the mothers you know influenced me & Nate. What all they did... how in the world did they do it all...and how I want to be more like them. Grateful for impactful mothers! Grateful for the opportunity to be a Mother myself to 4 amazing kids who I cherish! I love them more than I could ever write about in a blog post. It’s a big job being a Mama! I’m always trying something new, starting over, trying to do better, thinking I’ve figured a thing or two out, realizing I have 52,876 more things to figure out, but mostly just willing to do whatever it takes to be the best Mama God will allow me to be!!!

Here are some pics of Mother’s Day, my sweet Mama & Nate’s parents got to come visit! Nothing like sweet times with grandparents. I am so grateful for them. They got to see some games, fish & swim, see Jensie graduate from kindergarten and have some sweet time with us! Loved our visit! 

I will end with a beautiful quote I recently read:

“A Mother is she who can take the place of all others, but whose place No One Else can take.”
