Mother's Day 2010

Motherhood has been one of the greatest privileges of my life.

Today I was spoiled with cards from the people who made me a mother in the first place—and from the wonderful man I get to share this life with.

I read every word.

Some made me laugh.

Some made my heart swell.

And some I know I'll want to read again years from now.

There are plenty of days as a mother when I wonder if I'm getting any of this right.

And then there are days like today when I look around at these five children I've been blessed to call mine and think...

How did I ever get so lucky?

Today was perfect.

Not because anything extraordinary happened.

Simply because I was surrounded by the people I love most and reminded of how much I love being their mom.

Thank you for making my day so special.

I love being your mother.

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls!

New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

A Word of Caution

We lost thousands of dollars within minutes. No, not in Vegas last weekend... But in our own home Thursday afternoon. We were headed to the lake for one last wakeboarding run of the season. As we were launching the boat, B.T.C. received a call from a woman claiming to be a real estate agent. She asked if she could show our house to potential buyers. Our home was for sale, so the request seemed routine enough. We agreed. When we returned home later that evening, we noticed the front door had been left unlocked. Unusual. B.T.C. called the number back to ask about it. No response. The next morning, we discovered that an envelope containing cash was missing. B.T.C. called again. Still no response. Then reality hit. I went to put on my wedding rings...my original ring and the new one B.T.C. had given me this year for our 15th anniversary. They were gone. My heart sank. We had been burglarized. I began searching the house, checking the places where we kept valuables. One after another... Gon...
