Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mother's in my life!
Tracie- I look up to you as a mother because you work so hard with Spencer and his new school experience. You are really determined to help him and don't let him take the easy way out. I know when Max starts school I'll be able to call you with all sorts of advice!
Jenn- I look up to you as a mother because you know how to show your kids a good time and get them active. You've made being outdoors a priority and I really admire that. Your kids definitely love nature!
MOM- I look up to you as a mom for MANY reasons. Some of my favorite are:
You are constantly learning. You make every experience a learning one and something to grow from.
You are completely selfless. If you aren't taking care of your kids (lending cars, taking trips to see them, taking them lunch at work), you're taking care of your husband (how many trips to the hospital this spring?). If you aren't taking care of him, you're taking care of your dad (do I have any snickers, mk?). If you aren't taking care of him, you're dealing with your calling in the church (5 trips to the church today ALONE to help people get in). If you aren't dealing with all of THAT, you are making a quilt for your grandkids (and letting them pick out the fabric). You are always thinking of others and how to help.
And, you always have the right thing to say. I love you, mom! Happy Mother's Day!

*And a special tribute to Ida, I know I could always count on you for a good plate of food and quick lay in the sun. We all miss you this mother's day. All our love.
