What the Kids Say About Their Momma

After a trying year with the pandemic and over a year of distance learning, these kids love their momma more than ever. While some days were hard, I know our kids had the best teacher through all of this, and in reading some of their answers below, it is clear they know it too. The sacrifices she has made and continues to makes for our babies is a big reason they are the way they are. Smart, caring, creative and compassionate, they get it all from their momma. To the Mom who constantly goes above and beyond, happy Mother's Day love. -Ty (I asked him to do this for me this year because it always feels weird asking the kids questions about myself.)
