I love my mama!

Last Thanksgiving we went to Utah to visit with our families. One fine morning we were on our way up the mountain for a hike, when my mom grabbed a hat. At least what she thought was a hat, it was really Chika's (the dog) sweater. We of course didn't tell her until after we snapped this now priceless photo.

But seriously, I have the best mom ever. As a mother now I am amazed that she raised six kids and still managed to be nice. Being nice is what I struggle most with and am so grateful for such a great example. Love you mom!

I may be a little partial, but...

Aren't my children the most handsome, smart, funny, kind, cleaver, children that ever lived?

Baby Girl Mead's room

I thought I'd share what baby girl's room is looking like these days. Before school got out I made her some bedding and curtains. I also painted Luke's old crib and bookcase to make it "girly". I love her room too, it's so cute. You can't see it but on the other wall I have a bunch of peg boards, that I painted and have hung up cute little clothes and photographs on. I am so excited for this little girl, I can hardly contain myself!
