The most important job in the world doesn't offer an hourly wage or days off
or paid vacations.
But it does offer real feelings,
shining faces,
bedtime stories,
small victories,
priceless memories,
and many wonderful moments of joy....
I am so very blessed to have such a wonderful Mother. I am so thankful for all she does for me, for all she has taught me, for all the good advice she's given, for being my cheerleader when I really needed one, for loving and accepting me for who I am, for always being there when I have had every baby, and for helping me after, for loving my husband and kids the way the she does, for being fun to be around, for sharing my addiction to Ross, for always remembering us in her prayers, for actually wanting to live across the street from us, for always coming to visit us just to spend time with us, for working so hard, for being so faithful in the gospel, and for having a strong testimony and raising us with the gospel, so that we could have the kind of family that we were raised in.
"Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels."
-The First Presidency, 1935
I am so grateful for my angel mother...
I love you Mom, Happy Mother's Day!

That was such a nice tribute. I especially love the picture of Nathan giving your mom a big squeeze. Only thing missing from this post was old school pictures of you!
WoW Your mom has great hair! Fun to see your mom so much in your life.
Pen, Jessica is coming to my house tonight to watch THE FINAL ROSE CEREMONY! Give her a call, and come along! We can all watch together!
What is the triumph with Trevor? Is he sewing??
(Sorry for the happy family togetherness you had to listen to, while we planted our garden. I'm thinking of doing a post about it from Penny's point of view.)
That was very!!!! sweet. Thank you, my little Penny. A mother lives for times like you depicted, and for words like in your blog. I love it!
I'm so glad you take after your dad in the taking pictures department. I only wish you could have used photoshop to make me look thinner. I look like I'm about to explode. I'm sure it must be your camera. Love Ya and can't wait to be there all the time. I hope next mother's day you will still feel this way. Mom
My mom and I are close too. Does she know when she's moving here?
