Mother's Day

This year we celebrated Mother's Day a day early because Ben and Qyntn were going out of town.  On Saturday morning, Q brought me a cinnamon roll for breakfast and gave me the best pokemon card ever!  It's a one of one that he designed with the two of us on the front.  Ben smoked some chicken and made me a delicious quesadilla before I took them to the airport.  They also gave me flowers and almond roca, my favorite!  It was all very thoughtful and sweet.  

On Sunday, it was just Tito and I. 
He has been my easiest to raise, by far.  

I loved talking on the phone with Alyssa and Qyntn and I got to facetime with Tiago!  He sent me a very sweet message after we got off the phone.  I may have shed a few tears.  

From Tiago:  

"The love of a true mother comes nearer to being like the love of God than any other kind of love

   -Joseph F Smith

Thanks for being a true mother even though I am your step son! With the love you've shown me throughout the years, makes me feel like I'm your son instead of a step son!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!"

I knew Holly probably wouldn't call, but I wanted her to know that I love being her mom, so I put together a little slide show to send to her and Alyssa.  It was so fun to look through all the pictures and remember all the good times we've had.  I know I haven't been perfect, but I've tried really hard to be a good mom.
