Mothers Day!!!

Well what a busy couple of weeks. I keep waiting for life to slow down but it never does and I have a feeling it never will! First off, mothers day was excellent. I woke up and Chad took the kiddies and let me sleep in. I didn't wake up until 11:00 and I don't think I have been that rested in three months. It felt so good! Then Chad gave me my gift, which was a giftcard to a day spa here in Spanish Fork. There are so many options to choose from but I think I am going to do the 60 minute massage ;) then we went to church and had a big bbq with our friends when we got home. Yummy marinade on the steaks and strawberry shortcake. Is there anything better? Time is going by so fast I can hardly believe it. Two kids, a new house and new job, things are awesome. I had some time to reflect on how awesome it is to be a mother and I think I really take it for granted a lot. Gracie is in her terrible two's and man are they terrible. I honestly want to ring her little neck sometimes. But the moments when she comes in and kisses me for no reason or when she says "I want mommy to do it" I can't believe how lucky I am to have her. She is such a cutie patootie. And baby mikey is a miracle in himself. I love them both so much!! what a lucky mommy I am. Now to explain the pic of me looking like trash with Grace. Last week I was taking Gracie's shirt off for a bath and she accidentaly scratched me in the eye. Well, It felt like I had shards of glass under my eyelid so I finally went to the eye doc. I guess we all have like 5 layers of skin on our eye and Gracie scratched through 4 of them. I had to wear a protective contact for a while and I thought I would never see again, but I'm fine now!! Kinda random I know, but of course something like that would happen to me!!
