Apparently nothing is going on. I wanted to write a blog post and couldn't think of a single thing that I should write about. Then I thought well maybe I have some pictures. I do have ONE. It happened to be taken Mother's Day weekend.
We did this little cookout this weekend. The food was good! I don't know why it tastes better but it does. It was a perfect Mother's Day treat. Mother's Day is interesting around here because my kids don't get it so they don't do anything special, but Gaupo does and he tried to help with the kids, and he let me talk to my mom without any disruptions. It was nice. I also picked the meal, and we had Taco Salad. Sunday was leftovers of it, but it was still delightful.
On that note of Mother's. I have a great one. I get to talk to her a lot. Thank goodness for free Mobile to Mobile minutes. Although, when my sisters were visiting her and not working I didn't get to talk to her as often or as long, but I guess that just shows I am not the favorite. ;) I love my mom. She has helped me grow so much. I love that fact that she never told me, "you can't do that," unless it was an activity that could potentially be harmful, and even then her response was usually "you can choose, but don't give up what you want most for what you want now." Man, I hated that statement because most times I knew I shouldn't and when I made a wrong choice I did learn that I had given up what I wanted most for what I wanted now and I was disappointed in myself. Anyway, if I said I was going to learn something, or accomplish something, she never said that's impossible. She loved me through the good and the bad. My mom definitely became my best friend when we moved to Pima. She was always there for me whether it was friend trouble, a hard practice, sitting the bench, homework or whatever she was there and cared about me. My mom is still always here for me. I can call her about anything and I know she will listen and not judge me. She thinks I am a good mom and never lets me believe anything different even on my bad days. I am truly blessed to have a mom like her.
I am also blessed to have a great Mother-In-Law. I like that she keeps tabs on me and even though my parenting style is different than hers, she still likes to hear about it and doesn't judge me. I like that she likes to talk to me and that she wants to know what my kids are up to. I also love her support and kindness.
I am also very lucky to have an amazing Grandma. She really is fantastic. She keeps going everyday even when sometimes I am sure she just wants to give up. She helps me love having a clean home, especially vacuumed carpets and a clean bathroom. She is a great example of loving your grandkids and having fun. I have laughed countless times with her. Our relationship is still good even after I lived with her and my grandpa for two summers. I love watching TV with her, especially the Hallmark channel. I loved coming home from work and plopping down by her and relaxing. I love her cooking and how she never takes no for an answer. I love my grandma. She is the best.
I am so grateful that for these ladies in my life. They all are unique and different, and they all impact my life differently, but I need them all. I need there examples, testimonies, support, and love. They are everything I hope to be one day. I am so lucky to know all of them, and I am so glad that my girls have got to meet them. My Kylee really loves talking to her Oma, and Grandma. She loves showing them her tricks and singing them songs.
Thanks Mom, Julia, and Grandma.

Well, my dear, you are an amazing daughter and friend. I thank Heavenly Father every day for the privilege of being a mother. You are a miracle and a blessing in my life.
