Today I wanted my
Mom to know how much I love her... she is the most selfless person I know and will do/does so much for others! She is constantly making dinner for someone in addition to her family, taking people places that need rides, babysitting her grandchildren, attending the temple, attends a weekly Book of Mormon class, attends mutual, travels to see her other grandchildren, travels to see my brother play football in college! She is always there when anyone needs her - good or bad, happy or sad! She knows how to lift others spirits and puts smiles on SO many faces! I feel so blessed each day that I get to hang out with her and not only call her my mom, but my friend! I love you mom
My sister
Melanie(
older by 3 years) is a super mom to FOUR boys, in addition to that she works a full time job as a labor and delivery nurse! She is the person I call when I need advice if my kids are sick, or just to vent when I've had a long day! She is so talented at quilting and keeping such an organized home. She is my only sister and sometimes stubborn, but I love her so much - I only wished she lived closer! (hint, hint)
My sister in-law
Kadee is a mama to 4 kiddos! Needless to say her hands are full at all times. She is another person I call to chat with on long days or just to talk to an adult rather than a 2 year old. She is awesome at scrapbooking and puts herself last on the list while raising her kids. She has many sleepless nights, but seems to always have time for others! She is primary president and seems to never have time for herself. Kadee is funny, kind and thoughtful!
love you!
Terrie - (for left) is such a wonderful mother in law, she seems to always know when I'm going to need her help and is always willing to watch my kids on a moments notice. She gives so much attention to my kids and makes them feel so special even though there are many grand kids. She did an exceptional job raising my husband and I'm always grateful for that! She is pretty hilarious and always says what's on her mind. She is always looking out for others and has such a tender heart! I love you
(Don't mind me totally pregnant with Ashlyn in the photo - she was born 12 days later)Stacey - (red dress left of the bride) such a talented, patient, loving, sincere, hilarious, cute, fun sister in-law! She seems to always have it together with 5 kids (including twins)... She's so good at teaching her children the gospel and never forgets to call on birthdays and makes others feel so special and loved! we miss you around here, love you
Jennifer - (bride) so fun, outgoing, can make anyone laugh and is super sarcastic! Jen isn't a mama yet but hopefully soon! She is so wonderful with all the kids and seems to always be in a great mood having a great time! She is a picky eater and I tease her about it all the time. Still waiting to come see your house, love you
Dusti - (black & white dress) so generous and giving to others, always willing to take my kids so I can go on a date with my hubby. She is so talented in all areas and opens her home to many family parties and get togethers. Dusti is a patient mother and is so involved in her 3 boys lives. She makes others feel special and is so affectionate and loving! Thanks for being you, love you
Robin - (black shirt) so spunky and says random things to make everyone laugh! She has a great sense of humor and is sarcastic. She is a good cook all the while having her hands full with 4 kids! She is sensitive but also super tough and such a loyal sister and friend. We have lots of fun doing play dates with our kids or trying to shop! She is a talented artist and has great taste. love you
Kim - (far right) so energetic and loves the outdoors, she works full time while raising her 2 kiddos! Kim is always thinking of others and is so generous, loving and kind. We wish she would visit more often but love getting together with family when possible. She's a great cook and is always up for anything! visit soon, love you
**Today I feel so blessed to have such great women in my life and I appreciate the great examples they are as mothers and as women. They are my family and also my friends - I hope you all know how much you mean to me and I am so grateful for each of you. Happy Mothers Day!
