Mother's Day! Everyday that I get to be Kylee's Momma is a day of celebration to me....but it's fun to get gifts on one of those days! Kylee and David got me work out clothes! LOVE THEM!

Every year the Montez women get together for our annual Mother's Day lunch at Olive Garden. It's a tradition I've come to love and look forward to every year. I love all the women in my life!

This past weekend was Kylee's dance recital. She danced at the Suns game back in February and now this was the end of the year recital. She had two performances and did great! She had a lot of people come to support her!

Kyrstin...Kylee loves her cousin! We get to go watch Kyrstin at her dance recital in a month and Kylee can't wait!
*
Kylee and her dance teacher....Miss Melanie! She is awesome and we loved her!

Aunt Nanny and Kyrstin! They both surprised us. We didnt' know they were coming. Kylee was so excited!!

And of course Kylee's best supporters came....Grandma and Papa Montez!

Something special happened at the recital. In Kylee's first dance performance, all the girls had pom-poms as a prop during part of the song. They placed their pom-pom's behind them while they danced to the first part of the song and then went back to get their pom-pom's during the second part of the song. Well, Kylee's pom-poms accidentally got taken and she couldn't find another set of pom-pom's close to her. She was frantically looking around while all the girls kept on dancing. I wanted to cry for her! I was afraid she was going to cry and run off stage. But instead....she made us SO PROUD! After 5 seconds of looking and not being able to find her pom-pom's, she jumped back in with all her dancer friends and started dancing as if she was holding her pom-pom's. She didn't skip a beat! My tears of sadness and feeling sorry for her quickly turned into tears of pride.

I quickly ran back stage to comfort her, thinking she was going to save her tears for backstage....but she had a smile on her face and was quickly changing into her next outfit for her second dance. She wasn't sad at all. If you know Kylee, she is a very tender-hearted girl. So I was certain that she was going to get upset about this. But she kept a smile on her face and was professional about the whole thing. I was so impressed and learned something new about my princess that day. She never ceases to amaze me everyday! She makes me so proud. I don't know how I got so extremely lucky. What did I do to deserve to be her Mother? I'm thankful for her every second of every day. She is the best example for me....and now she is an example of never giving up and keeping a smile on your face no matter what happens in life. She gave me the BEST Mother's Day gift ever by showing me her strength and optimism. Words could never describe how much we love our princess!
