HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!


I love being a mom! I am so very grateful for my wonderful children and amazing husband. It's so much fun every Mother's Day to get all of the fun little things that the kids have made you at school and church.

I can't believe just how quickly the girls are growing up. Kennedy will be 13 in July, Morgan 10 in August, Emree will be 7 May 26th, and our little baby birdie is 1. She just started walking this week! Pretty soon she will be cruising around the house. How I love my little girls and wouldn't trade them for anything in the world!!!


Brackon is so sweet to always let me buy my own presents, even though it drives him crazy. He wants to be able to surprise me, but I'm always finding things that I want and letting him know that it's for my birthday, or Mother's Day, or Anniversary, when they roll around. I need to be better about letting him surprise me. I love you handsome!! Thanks to my sweet family for always making me feel so special and loved. Mommy loves you!



I'm also so very grateful for my own mom and what an amazing person she is. I learned all I know from her and want her to know how special she is to me. She's an angel in my book. Any women who can have 7 kids in 9 years and still be as sweet and loving and wonderful and strong as her she is (and also be an absolutely amazing grandma to 23 grandchildren) deserves to be crowned the world's most amazing mom! Thanks for everything you do for all of us mom! We love you!!!

Now, we also have another amazing mom in our life, mom Curtis. What an awesome mom and grandma you are. You are such a rock in the family and we are so grateful for all that you do and stand for. Thank you for raising such an amazing man and teaching him in the way you did so that he grew up to be the person he is today. We would be lost without him and are so appreciative to you for instilling the qualities that he has within him. We will forever be grateful!

To both of our mother's, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, "All that I am and hope to be I owe to my Mother."

So many posts, how fun! I showed Blake the picture of the big dog and he said "Will that dog eat you?" He is so afraid of dogs. Even little ones. I am sure that he would have a heart attack if he saw a dog that big! Your pics are so cute! Berkley will have to show Ashley how to walk. She just needs to build up the motivation first! Love you guys!

Marci, I just need to know what product do you use on your hair to make it so pieced out and cute like that? My hair is super short right now and I need it to look cuter. Can you either post on my blog or email me at alli135@comcast.net Thanks a bunch. Your family is growing up so beautifully!

Marcie, do you check your comments?I've had your blog for awhile and am pretty sure I left a comment letting you know I found it from Heather. I've been waiting for a "post" update...girl, you've got to get on it! That's why I like the blog thing because we can keep connected and know what everyone is up to. I live in Cottonwood Heights and would love to get together with you. I've heard from Heather and Patti recently. We've talked about getting together but so far it hasn't worked out. Maybe you can make it happen :)
