I am back from the busy month of May. In May I have Mothers day, the end of school activities and my birthday so it was fun AND I turned 40. I was thinking about Mothers Day and rereading the love notes from my kids because they were so funny. Here is a list of what my kids told me.

"Reasons I Love My Mom" (They were forced or "encouraged" to write them by their dad.)

1. You're my favorite Mom in the World - Kalia 8 and Lily 11 (I didn't know there was a competition.)

2. You make the best cheeseburgers in the universe. Kalia (Take That McDonald's)

3. You never yell at us. Kalia

4. You are always nice after you yell at us. Jazzie 13

5. She is the coolest mom ever (By vote of my friends). Jordan 15

6. Thanks for taking care of me my whole life. Lily (Not just for a few years...)

7. Even though you are usually busy- you always care. Kalia (Should I analyze that?)

8. I would not trade you for any other mom in the world. Lily and Kalia (I didn't know I was on the auction block.)

9. You're pretty after you get ready in the morning. Josh

10. "For Mothers day, I Jazzie Woods promise to keep my room and bathroom clean for the whole month!"  That promise lasted about three hours.

11. She loves me even when I bug her. Lily (I have a good poker face.)

12. She doesn't get mad until the 8th time she asks me to clean my room. Jordan

13. She is embarrassing on purpose (not on accident). Jordan

14. She loves me- Jordan, Jazzie, Lily, Kalia & Josh

15. My mom has blue eyes, blonde hair, brown highlights and pail skin. She also has many angel kisses (freckles). Kalia

16. She smiles when I tell her nice things. Kalia (She is my talker!)

17. She knows everything about me. Kalia (Good thing I have been paying attention!)

18. She likes to do crafts - for fun. Kalia
