Motherhood

Do you ever feel like the kids you were given were meant to be with you? That you could never imagine anyone else as your child because they are perfect and fit so well into your life. Lately I've been contemplating on motherhood and what it means to me. Somedays I must admit it is hard to be a stay at home mom. To know that everything you do is for someone else, rarely do you get a moment to be alone or just leave and do something you want to do. But then when I really think about it there is nowhere else I'd rather be. I would miss not seeing every smile, every new thing learned, every moment shared together, the good and the bad. I would miss the hugs, the kisses, the laughter, and those moments that you just sit back and think this is one of the happiest moments of my life I'm so glad I was here to share it. To be a mother means you know true joy and love and true sorrow and pain. Because you can never have that kind of love that comes from loving a child without knowing the pain and sorrow that can come. These two kiddos I have been entrusted to take care of have changed my life forever and I couldn't imagine what my everyday life would be like without them. So here are a few pictures of my "Pure Happiness" moments when nothing in my life seems like it could get any better than sharing this moment with them. Hope you enjoy.














This picture was taken on mother's day. I remember having one of those moments thinking wow this is such a special happy moment that I want to remember. I can't describe my feeling of blissfulness and why this picture makes me feel that way. I just remember being truly happy.

This was also on mother's day. It was seriously a moment out of a movie. I was getting ready for church putting on my makeup and jewelry and Kinley just sat on my bed watching me get ready and when I turned around again she was asleep. Pure Bliss.


Man do I love these two....

Super Duper Cute! I can totaly relate, I love being a mother! It is tough sometimes but its the most important job in the world. I always look at my kids and think how fast they are growing and will never be this age/size again-so it so important that we spend all the time with them that we can..You are very lucky to be a stay at home mom!!!

Thanks for your post! It's how I've been feeling lately too. It's the best thing in the world to be a mom, but also a hard thing at times. Your kids are so cute and you capture precious moments to remember forever.

What cute pictures - sometimes I think Kinners and Brax look like they are from two different families, but then sometimes I can see the similar features! They are so cute! It is tough to be a mom - I really questioned whether I could do it for the first two months of Hudson's life, but you do and then you learn to love it! (Some are more fortunate than me and just have that natural motherly instinct but I had to learn mine) anyway, but it is really special to be a parent so I loved your post

I love the pictures. My favorite is the underwear on the head. What fun memories. McKinley looks a lot like Drew.

When you're in the midst of it, it seems like there will always be someone who needs a drink of milk, a story read, or someone to clap as they yell, "Watch me". One day you'll wake up and wonder where those days went. The days are long, but the years are short. How great that you are enjoying today!

Such a great post Kacie! I too love to be a stay at home mom, but i think it deffinatly is one of the hardest jobs out there. There's so much sacrifice and hard work that goes into it that often goes un-noticed. It's such a blessing to be able to be there for your kids though!! Your kids are so adorable and lucky to have you as their mom!!
