happy mama day!

mother's day is always bittersweet for me
my dear sweet mom
died in 1997
almost 9 years ago
wow
can't believe it's been that long...
she was just wonderful
a great mom
role model
& friend
here's to susan thayer bressi
she's having fun where she is
making heaven a better place:)



now that i am a mom
it is different
it's not as much about loss
as gain
i gained those two little sweeties
who make me a mommy
thanks Q & miss m
you make everyday better:)


& a few other moms i want to mention...


my step mom, tam
oh boy
she is a gem
we are so blessed
that God sent her to my dad
she would do anything for any of us
(& pretty much has:)
she is a good friend too
don't know what we would do without her:)
tam, you are a gift
sent straight from heaven:)






my mother-in-law, rona
besides the fact that she gave birth to & raised
my favorite guy
she is a great woman
& she is just so good to us
drives down just to see us
& cooks
& plays
& talks
& cooks
& laughs
& watches
& tickles
& shops
(one time she went grocery shopping
& brought back enough groceries
to fill our freezer
fridge
& cupboards
can you even imagaine?
it was awesome)
& gives
& is going to wash our windows this summer
(she likes to do it!)
& loves
& loves
& loves
thanks rona!
we love you!



my grandma
oh goodness
what do i say about her?
too much to write
she is just precious
our family is so lucky to have her as our matriarch
(she would laugh at that description;)
she reminds me
that i need to just be myself
& enjoy life
& not apologize for it
(& to watch cooking shows even if i don't actually cook;)
i love you grandma!



& my 2 best mama friends
(though to be accurate
we were friends before we were mama's too:)





angie & rachael
they help
& laugh
& give advice
& make it fun
& are honest
& get me through
& show me how it's done
thanks girls
being a mom
would be so much less fun without you!
i love you guys:)
