Every Night Live!: Mother's Day Weekend

This past weekend was very nice and relaxing with lots of outside time with the boys! Yesterday was Mother's Day and for all you mother's reading this I am proud of what you have done or do with all your kids. I've been a daughter, sister, cousin, friend, aunt, and wife, but nothing has been as rewarding as being a mom! I have always known all my life that I wanted to be a mom, but I had no idea how awesome it is! I pray for those who are not fortunate enough to have kids of their own, it breaks my heart. I can not imagine not having my boys in our lives. I think daily how lucky I am that i am a mom I am thankful for my mom and my mother-in-law! I sometimes will think to myself why did God bless me with so much? Do I deserve it? That is why I pray daily thanking God for everything he has given our family of four and our BIG family! My mom and mother-in-law have done so much for us I could not say enough thank you's! I guess there are not enough words to explain how blessed we are! Thanks! I know understand when my mom, sister in laws, other mom's use to say to me wait until you have your own kids.
Friday night we went to Townhouse for some pizza(the boys love pizza) with some friends which was nice! The boys played with the older kids while the adults talked!
Saturday Jared had a game so after nap the boys and I went to that and they beat North 3-0, it was 0-0 at half time and as we walked in they scored their first goal (I think it was us:)). Saturday night we had some good friends over to grill out and play. The Burdorf's were in town and Aaron's parents live houses away from us so we get together when they are in town, which is always so nice. We catch up on the past time and what the future holds in between chasing two sets of twin boys and Jenna and Brody(the two older Burdorf's). Blake and Bowen(Burdorf) are just 5 months younger then Landon and Tristan. For the most part they all got along great and no one got hurt. Except Brody riding the bike into the rose bush...OUCH!! I felt so bad! Here are some pictures from Saturday night. Yes we once again tried to do some pictures of the twins, this is getting harder because they are all mobile now. Might not be the best pictures but nonetheless was fun trying and just shows their personalities and that they all have minds of their own even if they are twins!

Landon eating sand and playing with Bowen (notice their sandbox...later will be a better picture)

Blake, Bowen, Landon, Tristan...not too bad they are all sitting:)

Blake and Bowen clapping because the Burdorf twins are still sitting:)

Jamie and her boys and me and my boys thought we could get them to sit(notice I am trying to pin them down)

The boys were loving Koda

We thougth if we put two in the tub maybe they would stay as you can see Tristan is trying to escape

Even thought we didn't get the "perfect picture" we consider it great because they were all in there with almost 18 and almost 13 months old getting a picture with all boys sitting, smiling and looking at camera is next to impossible. We had such a great time with them, wish they lived here or closer.

Sunday...Mother's Day we didn't do a whole lot besides church and hanging out and doing somethings around the house. Jared had a lot of homework to get done(He is getting his Master's) so while boys napped I laid out and relaxed and then did some yard work. (Will post sandbox picture tonight) After nap all boys came out to help mommy!
