So, so, SO thankful to be the mother to my four biggest and best blessings. The days are full but not a day goes by when I am not so thankful to be their mother and my heart is filled with so much joy.
I didn't remember until that night to get a picture of me with them all and I didn't have the best luck for the "perfect" picture but they all pretty much sum up life with these four!
They made my day extra special and my favorite part of the day actually happened the day prior when Ella told me, "Daddy is going to be really tired tomorrow since he has to do all the work." Ha.
The kids actually spent the night at my parent's house on Saturday night since Rich and I went to the Padres game so waking up Sunday morning to peace and quiet was such a treat and a nice way to start the day! I went on a run while Rich went to pick the kids up. We then celebrated at home with the kids giving me their sweet gifts that they made in their classes (Ella gave me a beautiful canvas that she painted with her picture on it and Joseph made a wonderful painting.). I also received a card from all of them, flowers and some fun "spa" things. We then went to church and grabbed bagels on the way home and then got ready for everyone to come over. We had a great afternoon celebrating with all of our family, as well as Heather Kiffe and her boys since her husband was out of town. The kids swam and we just hung out and relaxed-it was such a nice day!!
Charlotte was loving the ice cream pie!!
I am also so blessed to have such an amazing mother, who has turned into an even more amazing Nani. She is the most selfless, generous, kind and loving person I know. She is always putting others before herself and always, always, always makes others feel so great about themselves and spreads so much love. Everyone just simply adores her and we are all better people because of her.
Love this picture with all 7 grandkids around her! 
Ella's preschool put on a wonderful Mother's Day program the Wednesday prior to Mother's Day which was so special. Nani came to stay with the two little girls since Ella requested that I go by myself and I'm so glad we were able to have this special time! Her class sang 4 songs and then there was a potluck. She was so excited and did a wonderful job. 
I LOVE being a mom to my sweet kiddos and couldn't ask for anything more in this world.
