mixed emotions.

daddy and clara after church today...

today is mothers day.

i must say- tyler and i are pretty lucky kids.

we both have the most amazing moms ever- seriously.

we are both so close to our moms, and would be so lost without them.

they give us the best advice, and are always there when we need them.

always.

i honestly cannot say enough good things about our mamas---- i could go on and on--- but really, thank you to our mommy's. you guys are the best!

we spent the day up in kaysville hanging out with my family, and stopped by to say hi to papa and jessi- and i talked tyler into just spending the night up there so he didn't have to drive to orem, then back to ogden 10 hours later...

as i was driving home- alone- in the pouring rain- with my 2 year old and 1 week old little girls in the back seat i couldn't help but think how lucky i am to be a mom of these two girls.

growing up i played 'house' until i was in like 8th grade with my little brother and sister- and i can honestly say i never had any big career dreams--- i have always just wanted to be a 'mom' when i grew up, and it is so surreal to me, that that is what i am now!

it can be a little overwhelming at times- and i'm sure that those friends of ours who don't have kids use us as an example of great birth control! haha- but i couldn't ask for anything more.

now this peaceful thought of how lucky i am to be a mother of two beautiful sleeping girls was rudely interrupted by lucy waking up screaming for her daddy.... (maybe one day she will like me more than him!???!?) and she did scream bloody murder for about half of the hour car ride home--- confession: somedays this makes me feel like a terrible mom. i love how much lucy loves her daddy-- but i really wish she loved me that much too. i swear i'm nice to the poor girl, but man- she loves her dad! the term 'daddy's girl' does not do her justice. she is smitten. 

anyway-- life is pretty crazy at the moment.

clara is now a week and half old.

i'm trying so very hard to turn the cheer program over to a coach that hasn't been found yet

and we are moving on saturday

and i haven't started packing...

and tomorrow is my first full day home with two kids.

huh.

should be a fun week! =)
