Mother Dear....

I couldn't let this Mother's Day pass without

giving Tribute to our Most Wonderful Amazing Mother.

(Here she is inspecting my daughter when she was born.)

When I describe my Mother, I tell people she looks just like Mrs. Claus!

White hair, Rosy cheeks, a soft voice and always a smile on her face.

She's gorgeous inside and out.

I love that she loves everything and anything pink.

I love watching her with my daughter and the kindness she exudes and teaches.

I love how she lives what she believes

and I love that she believes in me.

I think she checks our little blog every day to see what us silly girls are up to,

even though we all live about 4 miles away from each other.

She always tells us that everything is even more beautiful in person.

I love that she loves beautiful things and growing beautiful flowers.
My Mother is a Woman of Faith, of Courage, of Selfless Love.

If you ask my husband what her biggest flaw is,

it's that she's too nice.

I wish I had a flaw like that.

She is an AMAZING cook!

(yup she made all those pies, 26 double crust pies total to feed some hungry missionaries!)

She is a gifted seamstress with a perfectionist's touch.

She made my wedding dress, my maternity dress and the blessing gown for my daughter

and now I somehow convince her to mingle in the arts of Halloween costume making....

She is always seeking knowledge, reading and filling her mind with good things.

I don't know what I did to deserve such a wonderful Mom!

I can only hope to someday become the kind of woman that she is
or to have my child love me even half as much as I know she is loved

and Adored.

Mother, I love you, I love you I do!
