After much blog denial I am finally giving in. I must say I enjoy reading all your cute posts. I am now officially a blogger. It sounds good, or maybe a bit inapropriate. I was really creative on my title huh? You inspired me.
So, pay a tribute to your Mom. I like that for my first blog. Where do I start. It is funny that you spend your whole childhood trying to figure out how not to become your mother. The truely funny part is one day when you realize you have become your mother you couldn't be happier. "If you can't do it right the first time, don't do it at all", it never made sense to me either, but somehow it comes out of my mouth too. Yes, we were all raised in a barn, and so are my kids. When my kids need a little encouragement or advice I always think back to when I was a kid and what it was that she said to make me feel better. If I had to put together the qualities to make a fantastic mom, I know just what it takes. Sacrafice; Spending weeks in Las Vegas away from your own family to help a bed ridden then new mother then postpardum meltdown. Patience; helping take care of 3 grandkids (one of which loves to throw fits for Nunn). Love; unconditional. The list could go on and on. It is easier to just say Paula. Anyone who knows my mom, knows that she is one of a kind. The Lord knew we would all need her, so he made her very smart. I found the perfect saying about my mom. MY MOTHER, MY FRIEND. It says it best!

OH MY GOSH!!!
I can't believe you did it! Now you can show off those cute pics of Gracie and the kids. I'm putting a link to you on my blog right now! I'm so proud of you!
I'll check back everyday, so make sure you keep it updated. I need my baby fix!
Good thing Keli put that link on her blog!!!
Welcome to the blogosphere!
Uh, hello? Are you forgetting to update the blog? Come on, I know you have a computer full of pictures of your kids, share them, will ya?
You inspired me. I created my very own blog as well. Isn't it fun? However, I find it consuming my day at work! So glad to see you have this. I would love to see some pics of the kiddies!
Jill, I love it that you and Keli and Meg all have blog pages. I love reading them. Give Carter a big hug and kiss for me. You'll find that you have a special relationship with your first grandson, as well. Thanks for all the nice things you said about me, I only wish they were all true. Love Mom
Jill you have a great family I am so glad that I know all of them it has been fun getting to know all of them. And trust me I know how wonderful moms are. I've been through a lot and one of the hardest things I could ever imagine is being without my mom. I love her to pieces.
