Mother's Day with Grandma Morris

Love this Rio so much.  She is so fun and does these kinds of things all the time.  Just makes a new spot for her chair and sits down to enjoy a nice beverage :)
She's so cute!

So the evening of Mother's Day, we went over to Bonnie's to celebrate Mother's Day for her.
Such a cute picture of these two I think. 
Rio was super excited to see this giant card from Andrew's fam
Spence takes random pics of the kids sometimes - Blake is pretty cute though
Birdfeeders and flowers for this mam
Love Kari - she's so fun!
Fun yard art and a hose holder too!
Sounds perfect for Mother's Day doesn't it?  HAHA
HAHA...I was totally trying to get out of the picture and well...didn't work too well - hahahaha
Love all these faces!
Such a great picture I think.

Happy Mother's Day Bonnie
(PS I love Logan's face in this picture - it's so him!)
A whole clan of Morris boys!
Missing a bunch but still a fun little load right there!
I had to take a picture of some of these tulips in Bonnie's yard because they are the ones Spence brought back from Netherlands a few years ago.  We had planted them in our Draper yard and well, it probably wouldn't be kind to go dig them up now :)  So, we get to enjoy Bonnie's instead in her yard.
Happy Mother's Day to my mom and Bonnie.  
Sky and I took my mom to lunch one afternoon to celebrate with her.  We had so much fun and I adore spending time with she and Sky.  It really makes me appreciate that we are so lucky to have one another since there aren't a lot of us :)
We love you both so much and couldn't ask for better examples of mommies and grandmas.  I really do feel so blessed to have them in our lives.  They are giving, loving and constantly willing to help all of us!

Mother's Day '16

Had to add this quick pic of Rio and Lennox.  She was going around the house labeling things one day and we found Lennox with a label as well with his name - love her! She is so funny!

Mother's Day 2016
Making me breakfast with daddy.  Pancakes with chocolate chip hearts and an "m".
Some very special cards and beaded gifts from the kids - they are so sweet and thoughtful, really they are.  Such sweety kids!
Well, we try to get pics with all the kids and at least some were cooperative :)

Thoughtful gifts from Spence and the kiddos
Apparently, Rio insisted that I have this Begonia plant because it was yellow and she knows I love yellow :)
And some other beautiful petunias as well.
Lucky me!
Perfect for the Spring to have hanging plants.

Happy Mother's Day to me!
I am beyond grateful to have the opportunity to be these 5 kids mom.  To have been able to carry them and to hold them and love them as babies and to watch them grow and become who they are meant to be.  Honestly, my biggest hope as a mom is that I raise them to be who they were meant to be for Heavenly Father and that He would be proud of them. 
For so many years, I wasn't sure how I would be a mom and then poof!  5 kids within about 4 years and I wouldn't want it any other way.  They are wonderful and I have daily work to become the mom they deserve.  I'm grateful for many other mommies and daddies that surround them and help them to see who they are.
