Happy with and proud of the Loveridge family

Today was a good day. Mother's Day is always nice. Andy and the kids treat me pretty great every day, but today they really showed me how much they love me. Andy is even cleaning the kitchen and doing dishes while I rest my sore back in bed and blog.

We got together with my family for dinner at Richele's house to celebrate Mother's Day and my dad's birthday. I got thinking about my family after we got home and how proud I am of everyone. My dad served as a faithful and wonderful bishop of a single's ward for the past 3 years and was released today. He is going to miss those kids so much! And, of course, I know they will miss him because I know he showed them so much love. I am just really proud of my dad!

I'm proud of the wonderful mother's my sisters are as well. I adore their children soooooooo much and it would break my heart if they didn't have mothers who treated them like they deserve. But they do! We love each other's children like our own and I can honestly say that my sisters are my best friends.

And of course I couldn't pass up the opportunity to say how lucky I am to have the mom that I have!! She is the best! She is always there for me and my family and my children know, without a doubt, that Grammy adores them and will do anything for them. It's funny how I'm "a grown woman" but still sometimes miss being at home with my mom and having her take care of me. I am so lucky to not only have 2 sisters who I love to be around, but a mom who I love to be around. We talk on the phone probably more than is necessary, but I don't care! There is no one else I'd rather chat with. I love you mom!!!

See???? Don't I have the best family?? And did I mention how cute we all are??? We are one handsome family! I'd post a family picture to prove it if we had a current one!!

We need to put that on our to-do list.
