HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

2010 I took some pictures of some very special

MOM's

this is the CUTEST (with cuties Ash & Nix) MOM... Cassie

the NEWEST (soon to give birth) MOM...Megan

and the BESTEST (most inspiring) MOM!!

I didn't get pictures of the other MOM's, but they are not to be forgotten!

there's:

(not in any particular order)

-the MOM of 5 GIRLS (adorable and darling)...Stacie

-the MOM of MOSTLY BOYS (we're glad she has Olivia)...Britney

-the MOM of ALMOST FOUR (an equal amount of both)...Ashley

AND

I think we all agree...

MOM OF THE YEAR!!! (a mix of many!)...Amber

and of course future MOM's Mallory and Paige!!

I love you all you are all wonderful mothers!!!

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates

in a shiny sports car,

wearing beautifully tailored clothes,

my hair perfectly coiffed ,

and with long perfectly

manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in a station wagon

that has mud on the wheels

from taking kids to scout camp.

I want to be there with a smudge of

peanut butter on my shirt from

making sandwiches for a

sick neighbors children.

I want to be there with a little

dirt under my fingernails

from helping weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with children's

sticky kisses on my cheeks and the

tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know that I was really here

and that I really lived."

-Marjorie Pay Hinckley

my thoughts...

I love being a mother,

I loved giving birth, feeding my babies and smelling their baby skin.

I loved watching them grow up, learning to walk and talk and kissing their cheeks.

I loved laying down at night with them, singing them songs,

reading them books and making them laugh.

I loved watching them go to school, waving good-bye with their

backpacks on their back and brand new clothes.

I loved watching them turn into teenagers,

stark raving beauties and handsome buff dudes.

I loved watching them cheer, play sports,

go to music, dance and vocal performances.

I love watching them grow in the gospel,

pass and bless the sacrament,

and bear a strong testimony of the gospel.

I love being together; camping, vacationing, bowling,

boating, playing games, and laughing!

I love watching them get older, make wise choices,

fall in love, get married and have children of their own

so that I can start all over

with...

smelling their baby skin, getting wet kisses and being called Gamma.

It's the best!!!

I love you my dear children, more than you'll ever know.

I would give my life for you!

I love the amazing people you have become and are still becoming.

I am so proud of you!

You fill me with joy!

LOVE,

FOREVER AND EVER...

Mom
