Sanders Family Journal

i had a beautiful mother’s day today. i got presents, flowers, balloons, dinner, and dessert- all with my favorite people around me. my sweet husband and great kids made me feel extra special, and i was reminded again of how incredibly blessed i am to be the mama around here.

i love being a mom. it is my absolute favorite thing in the world and brings me incredible amounts of joy. i feel so privileged to be able to take care of these little spirits- to teach them, love them, and help them become the best they can be. i know i lack in some areas, but i hope they know that i’m doing the best i can and love them so much.

here are a few shots of me and my great looking kids before church today.

and here’s one with the man who completes our family. i’m so grateful for the love and support that i get from that handsome bald man.

i’m one lucky gal.

AND happy mother’s day to my wonderful mother and mother in law! you chicks are the bomb!

van loves it when we come to his school for special occasions. but if both of us come, we have to bring both the babies which is a little exhausting since one of us ends up chasing mia around the whole time.

so i asked van if he would rather both of us come with the babies, or just one of us alone. he chose the latter, and i don’t blame him- that mia is such an attention hog!

anyways, he had a great time with his friends in the bounce house, doing relay races, games, and lunch in the classroom.

we have so much fun with these two! Christmas morning every day.

feeling pretty lucky that i get to hang out with these great kids. here are some pics at a wednesday night activity, temple trip, and youth conference. i love that i get to be there with my beautiful girl too:)

to an amazing mother, mother-in-law, grandma, and friend! hope you have a wonderful day! we love you

gone are the days that jake would just lay around and be cute. now he’s crawling, standing up, and into everything (still just as cute though).
