All of these pictures were taken on Mother's Day except this picture of Ryan going into school today. Somehow I didn't get one of him that day, but this morning I snapped it because it's funny how I couldn't find many pictures of Ryan lately. I decided it's because he's in school most the time! There are good and bad things about that. I love to see him progress and learn. He loves to meet and play with friends. But then he comes home and plays and does homework, our time at home surely seems short these days!The other pictures I snapped because they were bits of my life right now as a mom ~ things that crack me up and brighten my day. And things I want to remember a long time from now!
Then I decided to conduct my own Mother's Day Interview since time moves so quickly and they change so much ~ I wanted to record right now ~ for much later!

* I have pictures of me doing this with Mr. Potato head glasses too! He's done it before, but what was so funny about him finding them that day was that Ryan had bought himself new sunglasses the day before. Sean already had sunglasses and the boys got me a new pair of Sunglasses for Mother's Day. So apparently Kyle decided he needed his own pair too!These are the things I so much enjoy about being a mom. There are so many things to look forward to! And things will change over the years, but with new and different stages. Different stages rewarding or challenging, what ever it may be ~ we will love it! Luckily my calling as a mother is eternal!
Happy Mother's Day Mom! Love you and what you have taught me. It was you who shaped who I am today. Thank you for supporting me always! Then and now!
