Yes, I love my kids. My family is the most important blessing in my life next to the gospel (they are very close). My children bring such joy into my life. I never knew I would love and cherish being a mother so much.

I remember growing up and liking to babysit. However, once I went to college, I really didn't like babysitting anymore. It's not that I didn't like kids, I just really had no interest in playing with kids, etc.

The love I have for my children is the purest love I have ever felt. Jacob and Ben are not perfect, they try my patience, and I am constantly straightening the house because of them. But I would not have it any other way.

I am thankful that I am a mom. I have developed and deeper love and respect for my mom. I am thankful for Joanne. She passed away before Marty and I started dating. But I know she raised a wonderful man, because I know Marty cherishes me.
