Motherhood

I am so thankful today for the opportunity I have to be a mother to my three wonderful children. Being a mother is sometimes a hard and thankless job. But it is also very rewarding. It always brings tears to my eyes as my children sing in church on Mother's Day.

I am blessed to have a wonderful family. My husband is my rock. He helps me so much to be a better wife and mother. He also spoils me rotten. He knows I love The Pioneer Woman, and I think he even follows her blog on google reader. Well this week has been her four year blog anniversary so she has had some awesome giveaways, including a cool Nikon camera. We both entered and there were only 14,000+ entries so I figured we had a pretty good shot, ha! Anyway he mentioned if I knew how much they were...ya I've priced them, and no they have not been in the budget. Apparently he had priced them too, he even looked at them at Best Buy. Well we teased, but the reality is that right now it was really more than we should spend.

But he surprised me with this totally awesome camera this morning before we left for church. I am so excited, but have no clue how to use it. But it is going to be awesome to take to the beach next week.

My kids got me this cute solar light and flower pot. I picked it out from the ads one Sunday, and told Brian to have daddy get this for me for Mother's Day. So sly, I know.



Although, my new camera is awesome...my most favorite gifts are the ones that my children made.
