Thoughts on Mother's Day

I needed to post a picture of my 2011 Mother's Day gift from Kaden. He was so adorable about it! Love you bud!


"When mothers know who they are and who God is and have made covenants with Him, they will have great power and influence for good on their children.
Mothers who know bear children.
Mothers who know honor sacred ordinances and covenants.
Mothers who know are nurturers.
Mothers who know are leaders.
Mothers who know are teachers.
Mothers who know do less.
Mothers who know stand strong and immovable."
-Julie B. Beck (General Relief Society Pres. Oct 2007)

I am grateful to have been raised by a mother who knew...and is still an amazing example to me. I am grateful for all the wonderful women in my life...grandmother's, aunts, cousins and friends who are wonderful examples of women who know.

I have been a mom know for almost 6 years. I remember when I was pregnant with Kaden, which was my first Mother's Day. Brandon got me a rocking chair for his nursery. I remember being so anxious to have that little baby so I could rock him in that chair and sing to him. It is amazing to me how fast time has gone by and all that I have learned since that day in May 2005. Now I have 3 beautiful children who teach me more than I could have ever dreamed. But not a day goes by when I do not appreciate all that my mother taught me. So many little things that I can not even begin to number, I learned from her, both by word and example. As my kids get older I continue to appreciate all she taught me. I am especially grateful for her testimony & faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, for He truly showed her the way. Thanks Mom! Words just can't express! Love you!
