One of my sisters asked me yesterday if my ob has ever asked me if I have felt overwhelmed and not felt like I was a good mom. He said to her that most LDS women feel like they have some standard to live up to, feeding their kids better, having a clean house etc. I told her that my Dr has never asked me that and honestly I don't feel like I have to be like everyone else. My house isn't as clean as it should be, my 1st grader goes to a public school (horror of horrors), she didn't get straight A's (just one B), I almost never update my blog, I am horrible at crafts, not creative, my dinners are not a healthy as they should be. With all that I still think I am a great mom. I play with my kids, we have learning time they are on a great sleeping schedule. Most important they love me and I love them. I love to see their little faces. I love to hear them tell me stories. I love to see them when they learn something new. I love to have Elizabeth read me stories. I don't feel bad for what I don't do and feel great for everything that I do do!
I finally downloaded pictures from my camera here you go....
Elizabeth's 100th day at school. She is an old lady.
Thanks for the stickers gma and gpa Castillo!
Camping over spring break. We were the only ones to camp at this campground it was awesome.
If you look really close you can see a caterpillar on the stick Elizabeth is holding.
Coming home we stopped in Superior and played at the train park.
Customary Easter picture. Elizabeth didn't want to have her picture taken.
How I love my boys.
Kenz loves to help clean. If I am cleaning and don't let her help she will throw herself on the ground and cry.
Happy 33rd Birthday Keith!
Happy 2nd Birthday Kenzie Benz!!
(So sad no 33rd birthday pics of me)
Great Grandpa Emery's 92nd Birthday.
I found the key to have everyone look at the camera and smile. Hold up a box of candy.
Elizabeth's dance concert.
Mother's day. 550ish photos on my memory card and only 5 with me in it. I need to hand Keith the camera more often.
My beautiful mama.
At the Chandler Air Park for Weston's 4th birthday.
Sorry for the the photos I thought that was the best way to show the last four months of our lives.
