Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all you mom's out there. I have learned lots from my amazing Mom friends. I couldn't even list them all. You are wonderful and amazing, keep up the good work! I hope everyone has had a great weekend. Ryan and the girls made it a special one for me. On Saturday morning I got to go garage-saleing all by myself! I loved it. It was so nice to get out with out the girls. Saturday evening we went out as a family for dinner and tried a new restaurant. Then this morning Ryan surprised me with breakfast in bed! I LOVED it! Kaitlyn helped by bringing in the cards that they got me. Thanks guys for the wonderful weekend. I want to especially thank my mom and mother in law this special day. They are wonderful and I love them both so much. I also have 3 amazing grandmothers that I love very much, plus Ryan's 2 amazing grandmothers.

My Mom


Mom and my sisters Jessica and Tiara-who must have been moving

My mother is amazing. I love her so much. She is always there for me and I love to talk to her. I call her almost everyday just to talk and see what's going on. I love the advice she gives me. My mom's main goal was to have a solid family. She wanted us to have a safe, secure, loving place to come home to, and she wanted us to love to spend time together. I think she has done an amazing job at that and continues to do so. She is the mother of 7 children and Grandmother of soon to be 4 grandchildren.

My Mother in Law

I have been so blessed to have the best in-laws. If you got to hand pick the family your spouse came from, I'd definitely pick the Daltons. I love Mom, she is wonderful. She has always made me feel welcome and loved since the very beginning. Just after Ryan and I got engaged I flew back to Texas, but my family had already left for Utah. I was alone and feeling really lonely. I ended up going over to Mom D's house. Ryan wasn't even there, he was still in Iowa. As soon as I walked in Mom gave me a huge hug and said what's wrong? She hugged me as I baled and told her how lonely I was and how all the phones were broke at my house and then she gave me a phone so I could call my mom. I had JUST BARELY gotten engaged to her son and she was already helping take care of me. Mom your great and I love you. Mom is the mother of 4 and the grandmother of soon to be 6.

Mindy, Ryan's sister


Mindy and her husband Chris

Again, I couldn't have asked for better in-laws. Mindy is an amazing mother. She has 3 boys. Boys, they take LOTS of energy and Mindy is so great with them. I know she REALLY wants a girl, but I think she is the perfect boy mom. Austin, Cameron, and Colin are so lucky to have you. I wish we lived closer together. I love just to spend time with her and hang out. And my girls love playing with their cousins. Kaitlyn saw a picture of Austin on your blog (the one with the allergic reaction) -I hadn't said anything to her- and she says Austin mommy, look Austin. It was so cute. She loves you and your handsome boys! I love you Mindy.

My sister Julia

This is Julia's FIRST mothers day as a mom! Yay Julia! I'm so excited that you are a mom now. Julia and I were pregnant together for a little while. She is way ahead of me and already had her baby. A cute little boy named Cooper and as Kaitlyn says Pooper. I have been amazed at how much Julia has grown up since becoming a mom. Babe your amazing and do such a great job. I wish I was closer and we got to hang out more. I love you babe!

Katrina, Ryan's sister


Katrina being cute and funny

Katrina hasn't become a mother yet, but she is an awesome sister in law and I'm sure a great wife. I also really enjoy having Katrina as a sister. Your wonderful babe and I love you!
