I can’t decide which edit I like best. I think I like the first one, but what do you think? 
Lauren’s curls.
I don’t know why, but when I think of the details of my kids childhood I think of wanting them photographed as blurry and over exposed. Sorry if I just broke all the rules of photography with these, I’m not one that really appreciates rules much.
Day 51
My Sister and Brother-in-law blessed their baby this Sunday.
My niece doesn’t look like she likes her glasses but she really does. What she doesn’t like is her picture being taken…again…by me 
Day 52
Tay is my little shadow, every time I am doing chores around the house she just hangs out with me. I was folding clothes on the side of my bed and she was laying on my bed chattering to me, I am glad I had my camera near by.
Looking back on all of my posts so far I just realized that most the pictures I have taken have been at my own house, obviously I don’t get out much . Sometimes I feel like not a lot goes on around here, I cook, I clean and then I repeat. I sadly admit that some days I feel like I am supposed to be doing so much more, and I miss it, I miss the perfect blessing of simplicity. But seeing all the giggles and the smiles and the memories, it just put it all into place for me. I am so glad I have the ability to stay at home with my kids. My mom was a working mom and I respect her so much for it, I see now the sacrifices she and my dad had to make for our family to put food on our table and I see how lucky I am that we have been dealt a card that has allowed me the possibility to see these sticky little hands and dirty little faces all day. I am also so grateful for this man for who he is and what he does for me and my girls, for his hard work that makes it possible for me to stay at home .
Thank you to those of you that read this blog, it means a lot to me.

Day 48
Day 49
I am finally feeling back to myself again, sinus infections are the pits. I took these pictures of Lauren because I wanted to remember how she plays with her
“button” while she drinks her chocolate milk.
Day 46
This is what the kids do when I have a sinus infection and I don’t care what they do.
Day 47
We were just driving around to kill some time until dad came home.
For Mother’s Day we went to church with Jon’s parents and then we came home and ate dinner with my family. I wanted a picture of Kathy (mother-in-law) but we didn’t have time in the morning.
Anyways this is a picture of my mom with my sisters.
I think this picture is so funny. Lauren was wiggling all over the place and I didn’t realize I was giving Taylor a head lock. It’s a true Mother’s Day picture if you ask me.
When we showed up to my parent house Tay was sleeping so Maren and Lauren went to swing on their tree swing. 
May is the best big sister, I love that she is holding Lauren so tight.
For Mother’s Day we went to visit my wonderful in-laws in Logan. We haven’t been up there in weeks so it was good to spend some time with them. The girls wanted to go to the park so I of course brought my camera,
I ended up with too many pictures to choose from so sorry for my over abundance of park pictures.
Usually these 2 fight like cats and dogs, but this is proof that they have their sweet moments.
Help from Grandma Kathy and Taylor
Maren wanted to catch me 
Maren rolled down this hill so many times I thought she was going to throw up. She wanted to roll down with Lauren once and this is how it went.
She isn’t saying cheese here, she is hissing at me. Apparently she thought she was supposed to beat up Maren while she was down instead of roll down the hill. Sometimes she is a little monster baby 
Right before this picture I told Jon that he needed to toughen up his little girls, well this is what he came up with. He put them in a wagon and ran them down a very steep hill, when he got to the bottom with them he rolled it over on accident and of course they cried. No one got hurt, but Jon decided he needed to try a new approach next time. He’s a cute dad and they love him to pieces so I guess that’s all that matters.
My kids ask me what my favorite holiday is and I always tell them that it’s Christmas. Christmas is wonderful there is no question about it, but then these little hands hand me something like this and I can’t help but LOVE Mothers Day. I feel so lucky to have them and I am grateful that I have 3 little girls that call me mom.
My girls made me pull over and take some pictures of these horses. My girls are allergic so they are always so excited to see things that they can’t get near. When I walked to the fence the horses walked right over to me and wanted me to pet them. They were really sweet, I wish my kids could of pet them as well.
