KUDOS

Kudos to you TRJ!!

YOU DID IT!

We love you and are so proud of you!

A Note

Dear Mom:

I know sometimes you don't like Mother's Day. Sometimes that's because your kids do silly things. (They do silly things - not you.) You've done many a great thing.

I like Mother's Day because I get to remind you about all the wonderful things you have done. (Even though my Hallmark Card that says it best is sitting on my shelf, waiting for you to come pick it up.)

Mom, I love that you took me to the library when I was little. And even sometimes when I was bigger. I remember looking at the books. And loving them. I'm glad you let me get Strega Nona again! I like that you introduced me to Blueberries for Sal. And that you read to me Dr. Suess. What a great mom you are!

And Mom, thanks for letting me take piano lessons when I asked. And then helping me stick with it, even though I threw some major fits. It's was all worth it! (Right??)

Mostly, thanks for being there when I needed/need you. And for teaching me how to live the gospel. And for helping me to love the temple. Last, but certainly not least, thanks for showing me how to serve and love others. You do it SO well! (There's probably about ten thousand people that could back me up on that.)

So, on this Mother's Day, just in case you forgot already, YOU ARE A GREAT MOM!!

love,
me

PS - Note to self: take more pictures of Mom, even though she won't like it.

PPS - THANK YOU also to all my "other" mothers who have helped me through the years!

Fuzzy fluffy

Attitude + hair + fuzzy sweater = BAD COMBO

The sweater has been retired. In case anyone is wondering.

playing in the snow (yes, she's licking the snowman's face)

(yes, she is eating the snowman's arm)

dancing at a wedding (but only with the bride & groom or by herself)

snowmobiling w/grandpa, the uncles and Auntie
(and feeding the ducks and fish)

Inspiration

One of the things she wanted for Christmas was 2 waters and 2 bowls...

Today she decided to make them herself. She even drew the faces all by herself.

Thank you Abe and Tilly for hours of entertainment!

Twins - Kind of

Okay, so she's by herself in this one... but she's cute!

Love those 2 teeth!

They do like each other!

Twin cousins

More twin cousins

Their clothes are alike anyway...
