Happy Mother's Day


(Who else thinks Lauryn looks like my Mom? She is a total Grammy's girl.)

Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful Mom. Someone once told me that we should go through life backwards because then we would appreciate life more. Well, I can say that if I were to go through life backwards I would definitely have appreciated my Mom more when I was a kid. I am more amazed by her now that I am a Mom. I often think when my house is a wreck and my kids are all screaming "How did she do this with 5?" I had a great childhood. My mom was fun and she worked hard to make our house a home. She often criticizes herself and says that she wishes she would have done things differently. I already feel that way. It is human nature but as one of the children that she raised I wouldn't have her any other way. I am thankful to her for the sacrifices she made to raise us. She is amazing. I love you Mom!

I agree. I always wonder how she kept the house clean, baked bread, did all her callings, gardened, on and on. Heck, she still does all that and she's in her 60's!

I love your family... your mom making tacos on the annaul week night, your dad ensuring you had family prayer. Thanks for allowing me to be a small part of it. Happy Mothers Day!
