Motherhood: An Eternal Partnership with God

I have had a rough time lately. Wondering why Heavenly Father has blessed me with 4 children, 4 boys, including a set of twins. There are so many out there who would do anything to have one of their own. So why me???? I have had days that I can't do it. I get frustrated easily, my temper is quick, my home is out of whack, and love is the last thing I am thinking of. I just want to fall and cry. I want those feelings and thoughts to all go away. That person who doesn't have a child would do anything to hold one right now, and I just yelled at my three year old and told him to go to his room. Motherhood is the most difficult task I will ever complete. Why have I been chosen?
After a not so decent bed time routine, I went to the lds website
and found this wonderful message. It is only three minutes long, but I loved every second of it. The part I needed to hear the most is when Elder Holland says "the very fact that you've been given such a responsibility (referring to motherhood)is everlasting evidence of the trust you Heavenly Father has in you."
Heavenly Father knows what I am capable of. I just need to have the faith in him and myself to accomplish all that he has planned for me.

Happy 1st Birthday!!!


One year done. Gone. Just like that. My babies are one. I thought it was going to be the longest year of my life, but it flew by. I am having trouble comprehending how time flew. And I feel like I don’t remember anything. It is so fun to have two crawling, babbling, laughing, teasing, smiling babies.

We figured by this time they would look much different, and not so similar. We were wrong. They still look so much alike. But personalities are so different. Logan likes to climb, tease, and is my go-getter. Tyson does all the milestones first (we think he will be walking very soon), loves to play with toys (well, anything), and is my observer.

I can’t tell you how blessed I am to be their mother. They are little angles. Happy Birthday BOYS!!!!!

To celebrate we wanted to tell everyone who has helped us this past year thank you. So we had a fun party at the stake center. We had nearly 50 people show up. It shows how blessed we have been:) Here is what are invite said (I was proud of my husband for coming up with the little rhyme!)

Come join us for cake and fun
