tribute to mom

where do i begin?? my mom is absolutely amazing. i love her smile. her kindness...to every single person she meets. her positive attitude. her cooking. her love for the gospel. her love for her family...the list goes on and on. i look up to her in so many ways, and i am so blessed to have been raised by such an incredible woman. i love you mama!

not only do i have one amazing mother, but my mother-in-law is wonderful as well! she is so supportive of all that we do, is extremely generous, kind, and has quite the sense of humor! our kids are going to be very blessed to have such fabulous grandmother's.


yesterday for mother's day, danny was still traveling back from california (he was gone all weekend with the byu soccer team), so i got to spend the day with my mom. (actually i spent the whole weekend there, because i hate being home alone...but that's besides the point) we got to go listen to my brother and his wife speak in sacrament meeting, and they did a wonderful job! i love hearing the testimonies of my older siblings--they are such great examples to follow. since they were speaking, we got to watch the girls! i am in love with my neices. little children are so innocent and pure, and being around them makes me that much more excited to meet this little baby growing inside of me.

speaking of that little baby...TODAY is the day. at 3:30 pm we will be arriving at the doctor's office to get THE ultrasound. yeah. i'm freaking out right now. we are both so excited to find out who is going to join our family first. i don't know about you, but i think this is basically the best mother's day gift any (soon-t0-be) mommy could get.
