Mother's Day

Clara gave me a great Mother's Day gift. She let me put pig tails in her hair. She hates it when I do her hair. She's gotten so good at swatting my hands away and then running so that I can't ever do her hair anymore. She squirmed this morning, but at least I got them in! She looked so cute. Her reward was getting to wear my watch and necklace. She loved them and even posed for me. Jeremy gave me the pearl necklace for Mother's Day. Thanks babe!

I just want to thank my own mother for giving up the prime of her life to have children. She has recently graduated from BYU-I, something that would have been a lot easier when she was younger. But she felt it was important to start a family and give up some of her desires. Now that I am a mother, I can partially understand what it is like to give up so much of what you want for your child's best interest. Thanks Mom for all you've done!

I also want to thank my mother-in-law for being a great Mom. She has accepted me as part of the family and loves me for who I am. I also am so grateful for her raising the man that I love so much. I know he is the perfect husband because of the things he was taught as a youth.
