HaPpY MoThEr's DaY MoM!!!!!

I truly have been blessed with the most wonderful mother ever!!  We may have had a rough time while I was taking my time 'growing up', but with the blessing of my sweet daughter, we have become close.  I have always admired her happy, early morning like, sun is always shining, smiling attitude!  If anyone really knows my mother, she is ALWAYS smiling (a beautiful smile I must add).  I really wish I could be more like my mom... it's a stretch though, she's pretty good at it.  My mom can also bring any plant back to life.  She knows the name of every plant, flower, and vegetable out there.  If I only had 1/3 of her green thumb I would be thrilled.  She would give anything for her children and grandchildren ~ always making sure they have what they need and are happy.  She doesn't make a lot of money, but whatever she does make she spends on the little ones.  Not only is she a great mother, but she's a WONDERFUL GRAMMY!!!  All of us kids are so so lucky to have her as the Grandma of our kids.  

Mom, I love you more than you could ever imagine, even though it took me too long to be able to show it.  I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day and know that you are so loved and appreciated.  
Matt, Kennedy, Peppe, Koda and I love you very much!!!!  Thank you for ALL you do for us!
