Happy Mother's Day!

I feel like I've been a mom almost my whole life!  I truly don't remember a life w/o kids!  I don't remember ever NOT wanting to be a mom!  I know I wanted babies as soon as we could afford them.  Ha!  We still wouldn't have any if that were true!!  So I was the ripe old age of 20 when Brandon made me a mom!  I have a great picture of me and Brandon on my 1st Mother's Day - but all my pictures are packed away in a box stored safely in a storage building so guess I'll have to save those for another year!

My mom had extreme emotional issues while I was growing up and we never truly had a mother/daughter relationship.  I didn't know what a loving mother was supposed to be like, but I always knew I wanted one.  And as I got older, I knew I wanted to be one.  I promised God that if He ever gave me children I would do everything possible to be the best mom my kids could ever have and to NOT allow them to have a childhood like I had.  I wanted them to have fun memories and know that they were always #1 to me!

I thank God for allowing me to me a mom to 3 great children.  They are all grown up now and have babies of their own!  I'm so thankful for a loving God that allows the "cycle of destruction" to be broken!  Mine and Robin's greatest joy comes from watching our grandkids and knowing that the Legacy of Love that God allowed us to start with our kid's generation will prayerfully continue for generations to come!!

MY BABIES!
