Mother's Day May 8th, 2011

This year on Mother's Day I started my morning by looking back at all my pictures starting from when I 1st became a Mother when Ethan was born on March 12th, 2003!

I wanted to share with you all some pics from previous Mothers Day.

2003- My 1st ever Mothers Day, Ethan was 2 months old.

We skipped a few years (don't know why) so my next pictures are after Ben joins are family.

2006- Benny was only 2 months old and Ethan is 3 here!

2007- Benny is 1 and Ethan is 4, look how cute they are:)

I love this age that Ben is at here!

2008- Sammy joins us and he is 2 months old, Ben is 2 and Ethan is 5. 

2009- Sammy is 1, Ben is 3 and Ethan is 6

2010- Ethan is 7, Ben is 4 and Sammy is 2

This year 2011, look how these boys are growing. Ethan is 8, Ben is 5 and Sammy is 3!

I am 36 weeks pregnant here so next year we will have one more in our pic, will it be another boy or maybe a girl!  Only a couple more weeks and we will find out!!!!!  

Either way these little fellas are gonna be great big brothers.

Here's a little Mother's Day poem that I personally love:

Before I was a Mom 


"Before I was a mom, I made and ate hot meals, wore unstained clothes and had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a mom, I never worried about how late I went to bed because I could sleep in as long as I wanted.

Before I was a mom, I washed my face and brushed my teeth everyday.

Before I was a mom, I enjoyed a leisurely cup of coffee while reading the
morning newspaper on a Saturday morning.

Before I was a mom, I slept the whole night through.

Before I was a mom, my house was clean everyday and I didn't worry about whether or not my plants were poisonous.

Before I was a mom, I had never been puked on, pooped on, peed on, chewed on or pinched by little fingers.

Before I was a mom, I had complete control of my mind, thoughts and body.

Before I was a mom, I never held down a screaming child while doctors and nurses did tests or gave shots. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces because I couldn't stop the hurt.

Before I was a mom, I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

Before I was a mom, I never got gloriously happy over a toothless grin.

Before I was a mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never was up in the wee hours of the night just watching a baby while it slept. I never knew that something so small couldn't effect my life so tremendously.

Before I was a mom, I never knew I could love someone so unconditionally and completely.

Before I was a mom, I never knew how satisfying it is to feed a hungry
child. I never knew how fulfilling it is to soothe a baby's cries.

Before I was a mom, I loved my mom, but didn't understand her.

Before I was a mom, I never knew the warmth, the joy, the heartache, the
wonderment, or the fulfillment of being a mom.

Before I was a mom, I never knew I would love being a mom."

I hope everyone enjoyed celebrating their Mother's Day with all the little people in their lives that make us Mothers, I did!
