Family

My oh my oh my! How can L be 6? As I put my 5 year old to bed for the last time, I could not stop hugging and kissing her. I said sissy I don’t want you to be 6. I want you to stay mommy’s baby. She said mommy don’t cry, I will still be the same size just the number changes. I love that girl.

She has grown from this shy little goofy baby to my fashion diva young lady. She loves to perform, she loves to make us laugh and she loves for us to be a family.

She is a huge animal lover. We were at the rodeo a couple weeks ago and she wanted to leave because she could not stand seeing the people tie up the calves. Then yesterday on the way to school there was a dead turtle in the middle of the road and she started crying. Mommy that is just not right. People should not be mean to animals like that. Kingston our doggie is definitely her best friend. They are two peas in a pod for sure.

Sissy loves her big sister M. They are truly best of friends and always have to have one another. They hug and give thumbs up to each other at school and at church when they walk away to go to their own classes.

Sissy is still a mommy’s girl. She loves all things about her mommy. She still has to go to sleep playing with my hair every single night. She has to have me right beside her each night or she will keep waking up searching for me. She is always hugging my neck and saying “You are the best mommy ever!” She does not like to make me sad. She just warms my heart so much. She wakes me up each morning and gives me the biggest hug. What a way to start the day for sure!

Sissy is a very bright little girl who is now reading her own books. She loves to write little stories and draw. She will draw the cutest little pictures to give me and her daddy. Speaking of daddy, she is getting closer to her daddy and will hug on him so much. At night time though, she is all about mommy!

Sissy we are so proud of you and of the young lady you are growing into. Keep up that fashion diva status and keep on performing. You bring us so many smiles a day. I just want to bottle up this time and keep it forever. We LOVE YOU!

I do! I am a sap. I will go ahead and admit it. There are still days I wake up and think am I living a dream? Am I really a mom? I am a mom to two wonderful daughters who light up every inch of my body.

I dreamed of being a mom ever since I was a little girl. That was one of my main goals in life was to become the best mommy in the whole wide world. When I hear my girls say those exact words, I just hug them so much and tears come to my eyes. Anyone that knows me knows my life definitely revolves around my family. Everything I do in my day to do life I involve my family and our wonderful Lord up above. That is what being a mom is all about right? I often hear people say, you need to get out and do more things for yourself. You need to go on a girls night out, or you need to take a vacation without kids, or you need to really get the girls in their own bedroom. Really? Do I?

Maybe that is how people see it from the outside view, but honestly I cry when I am away from the girls or my hubby. Sending the girls to school each day just takes so much out of me. It really is exhausting so much that when I drive through the pick-up line each day and my eyes catches the girls eyes, I immediately start crying. It never fails, every single day it happens. I see the girls big smiles and them waving so big back at me, I just lose it. I am just so blessed that God chose me to be a mom to these two wonderful and bright girls. So I am sure the people that see me in the line each and every day must think I am a crazy person to always have red eyes in the car line, but the truth is those are gigantic happy tears creating those red eyes. I am just so happy and excited to see my girls in that car pick-up line, that I want to move all the cars out of the way so I can hurry up and grab my girls.

I never imagined being a mom would bring this much love and warmth to my heart.

I love you M and L always and forever!
