I'll love you forever I'll like you for always...

As long as I'm with you my baby you'll be...

I can remember my mom my reading me that book all the time when I was younger. Reading to me as a child is one of the hundreds of things that I can list of the things that my mom has done to help teach me, and shape in to the person that I've become. She always tells me that I was her little sidekick when I was younger because I was the caboose. I am sure I just followed her around talking her ear off, asking endless questions, wanting to have my hands on whatever she was doing....oh the patience she must have had. (Let's be honest, the patience she must still have...I think I still bug her at LEAST once a day about something!) She has done such an incredible job raising us kiddies.

I am constantly amazed at how much energy she has. She is like the energizer bunny. She is so creative and is always working on a million projects. She is one of the most thoughtful people I know. Her attention to detail is a gift that makes every thing she does extra special. She has instilled a love for holidays in to each of us kids that makes life so fun. It is a true testament to how she lives her life. She makes each day a holiday. She is always so happy, positive, and supportive. She makes me feel like I can do anything. She shows me that anything really is possible if you put your mind to it.

She has such a strong testimony of the gospel. She shows it in how she lives her life each day. She treats people like the Savior would. She is so full of genuine love and charity. She always thinks of others before herself.

She has the ability to turn any situation into a positive one, and reminds me that life is meant to be lived happily and full of joy. Her smile is contagious. I hope I can be like her when I grow up. :)

Happy Mother day to one of the most beautiful women I know...inside and out.

I love you mom!! Thanks for being the best mom in the whole world!! xoxoxo
