A Little Update...

Well I am a little behind so here it goes!
Mother's Day was definitely bitter sweet this year! I am so grateful to be Hadlee's mother but I was looking forward to sharing that day with her... here on earth! I still don't feel worthy of the mother name but maybe one day!...
I am so grateful for my mom! I love her so much... she does so much for me and has always been there when I have needed her! She is one of my best friends and I hope I can be half the mother she is someday! I am so grateful for McKay's mom! She raised an amazing son! I am grateful for all she does for us and happy I have her as a mother in law!
McKay gave me the most beautiful necklace with Hadlee's birthstone on it and the letter "H" for Mother's Day! I have added it to the necklace I already have and just love it!
My nephew Tallon's birthday was also on Mother's Day and he turned 2! It was so fun to see him excited for all the attention! I snapped a few pics I thought were really cute...
Here is Adam and Tallon watching the kids ride 4-wheelers in the backyard...

I was sitting on the floor with Dayne and then AJ decided to sit on my lap then Tallon joined and of coarse Isaac had to join so my sister decided to snap a pic!... Poor Dayne looks like he is getting squished!...

McKay and Dayne chillin' on the couch!...

AJ, Isaac, Tallon and Aubrey watching Adam go off jumps on the 4-wheeler!...

Then McKay's bank had a work party on Saturday! We had a BBQ and swim party at one of the employee's houses! It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed being outside!...

We also finally have decided on a headstone design... I hope it turns out the way I am imagining it! It will be on there forever so I want it to be perfect! I hope we can get it on there before to long... so when we go visit her grave its not just a mound of dirt!
We are headed to San Francisco on the 25th and staying till the 31st! We are really excited for this break away from work and life where we can just relax, have some fun and get our minds off the stresses of everyday things! So I'll post pics when we get home!!!

I hope you guys have fun. I've always wanted to visit San Fran again--been before but don't remember much of it.
Also, you are worthy of the name MOTHER. You're a wonderful mother of a very special little girl--who I imagine isn't very little in spirit.

I believe that you were born a mother! And even though you do not have a child here on earth, you have still had motherly influences on many other children. You are so good with children and everyone knows that! I am sure that your neices and nephews would love to have you as a mother!
So I think you are very much there, actually past the worthiness stage, of being a mother. I love you so much Manda Jean! Oh, and I hope you have fun on your vacation!
