Happy Mothers Day

I love my mother very much and appreciate everything she does for me. I am so glad that there is a day that is dedicated to mothers because it is a day that you can really express your love and appreciation for all the other days of the year. My mom is the smartest lady I know. If I have a question about anything she is the one I call. My mom has taught me how to be an adult and take care of myself. Her motto in life seems to be "Work hard: Play hard". I hope that when I am her age I will have done half of what she has!

As for Tika's mom I would like to thank her for the wonderful job she did in raising him. He is the best parent a kid could have! I often wonder why we decided I would be the stay at home parent and not him! I am always really sad that Tika's parents made the move to Hawaii because we miss them so much. Kelly always asks for her Grandma Susan and Grandpa Hiagi (She says it really good). We are looking forward to when they come to visit in August.
I would also like to say Happy Mothers Day to Cassie. She is the one who has taught me everything I know as far as being a mom goes. If I have any questions about kids she is the one to call. She is the most patient and loving mother I know. I have been laying in bed the last few nights trying to imagine this summer without her and the kids and I don't know what I am going to do. Last summer we were attached at the hip, Kelly even called her Mama Cassie. I know it is only 3 short months but I am going to be so lonely!
We try to hang out as much as we can but it often feels like a "Cookoo's Nest"She always tries to make we me push my limits!


Happy Mothers day to all the moms out there! I think this is the hardest yet most rewarding job there is.

I knew that deep inside you secretly liked my hugs :) I give me way too much credit and don't give yourself enough. You teach me a lot of things too. We literally were connected at the hip. I think we even went to the bathroom together, ha ha. I love you and am grateful that we are so close. We will be back before you know it.
