This is my favorite picture from our photo shoot....
These are my favorite ladies in the whole world, and their mine ALL mine!
This past summer when I was visiting my family in Utah, I invited "the single ladies" out to our place for Thanksgiving. The single ladies; my mom (Kathy), Ty's Mom (Shellie), and Ty's grandma (Wilma). As luck would have it, they were all available to come.
I feel so blessed to have these women in my life. They have been, and continue to be the best examples of how I should live my life, the kind of mother I should be, and the kind of wife. They are my confidants, and my rocks when life gets tough. They are my cheerleaders and biggest supporters at all times and in all aspects of life (even when we had to move). And, they are friends, they all like each other and get along! How great is that?!
I have also been blessed with amazing sisters and friends. I have three sisters (one brother) and three sister-in-laws. My friends from Junior High and High School are still my best friends, and always will be. I have spent the majority of my life with these women. We have grown up together. We have been there to support each other through awkward teenage phases, first loves, first kisses, heart breaks, jobs, college, marriage, children, death, divorce, disappointments, you name it, we've been through it all! I have such a great support system!
After we had our two boys, I longed to have a daughter. When I was pregnant for the first time, I thought for sure I was carrying a girl. It turned out to be Talmage, which was amazing! The second time I was pregnant, once again I thought I was having a girl, and nine months later Eric was born. I had an instant connection with that little fella. I thought I was destined to have boys, and that maybe Heavenly Father had surrounded me with such amazing women in my life because I'd never have a daughter of my own.
And then, she came along.
She brings such joy into my life. I ached to have a daughter, to share moments and experiences as I have shared with my mom, and now I am! Womanhood is amazing.
While I had my single ladies here, I wanted to take them out for a little photo shoot, so I had a picture of them all together for my picture ledge. We drove down the end of my street, and I posted them up. Luckily, there was a man getting his mail who offered to take a picture of all of us.
After I had taken several photos of just the moms, Shellie wanted to throw Maidie in the picture with them. I wasn't planning on having Maidie pose with them, but these pictures turned out to be my favorites!
It was a very successful afternoon!
