Mothers Day

I know I am a week behind, but I thought I had better get my mothers day post in. I had a great mothers day. I love getting to spend it with my cute little family, and also being able to go hang out in Ftn. Green with my Mom. I honestly believe there is no greater blessing than that of being a mother. My girls mean the world to me, and make me even more grateful for the wonderful mother that I have. I hope I can be half the Mom she is. She has always been a best friend. She is truly an example of the kind of women to become. She loves that gospel, and is not afraid to show it. She always puts her family first. She is a strong women. I don't know how she does the things she does. She continues to go each day with a smile on her face. My girls just adore their grandma Johnson. We love you Mom. I am also grateful for my Mother in law and for raising such a wonderful husband and father. She has become an awesome grandma. Growing up I never even considered having twins a possibility. I knew a few twins, but never even thought about it. But now that I am, I wouldn't change it for anything. They have become my best friends. They never fail to put a smile on my face each day. Watching them grow and become closer and closer is awesome. They light up when they see each other in the morning after waking up. If one is sleeping and the other is awake it just drives them crazy. They need each other, and I love that. Whenever I have had a bad day, or am sad, they both wrap their arms around my neck and just love me til I'm better. They are the sweetest. I thank my Heavenly Father everyday for the chance to be their Mom.

Life

Life is going great here in Manti. We have been enjoying the sunshine and spending most of our days outside. We have went to the turkey farm a couple times to help Steve with his chores. The girls just love getting out of the house and experiencing new things. Steve also had a birthday last month. It's hard to believe that we are already 24 :) He was also lucky enough to share his birthday with a beautiful little niece. Every since Christmas Steve has been dying to have a slushy maker for those hot summer days when he comes home from work. So I hopped on Amazon on found him one. So far he has loved it. I hope he had am enjoyable birthday. He definitely deserves the best. He is such a great husband and father. I don't know if there is anything greater than to watch how much he loves his girls, and how much they love him back. He has been such a great dad, and would do anything for us. He is such a hard worker, and for that I am very grateful. We love you Steve! I also decided it was time for something new with my hair. Cassie had convinced me that I needed to cut my hair, so I did it. I'm still working on getting used to it, but I like it. I think Steve likes it too, but he's too sweet to say anything else.
