Moms

How blessed I am to have a beautiful mother. She is a wonderful example of patience and love.

Mom and me in 1983



Isn't she gorgeous?



Now she gets to play Grandma. Logan always runs to her for hugs.



My wonderful mother-in-law not only raised an incredible son, but continues to teach and love her precious grandchildren. Logan adores her, as do I.





I'm so very thankful for this little guy, who has shown me what pure joy feels like. I LOVE being a mother.

I love this quote by Jeffrey R. Holland:

“May I say to mothers collectively, in the name of the Lord, you are magnificent. You are doing terrifically well. The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you. He knows that your giving birth to a child does not immediately propel you into the circle of the omniscient. If you and your husband will strive to love God and live the gospel yourselves; if you will plead for that guidance and comfort of the Holy Spirit promised to the faithful; if you will go to the temple to both make and claim the promises of the most sacred covenants a woman or man can make in this world; if you will show others, including your children, the same caring, compassionate, forgiving heart you want heaven to show you; if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do.”


HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
