My Beautiful Mom

I've known you since my day of birth,(perhaps a few months more).
There's lots of nice things I could tell,(but I refuse to bore).
You're smart. You're great. You're all the best.(There's much more I could say.)
But I can only think of one. . . It's Happy Mother's Day!

Look at how beautiful my Mom is. She refuses to put a current picture up so I wanted to show you why my Dad fell in love with her. (Pretty HOT huh?)

I myself am not a big fan of Mother's Day because I don't feel like I should have all of the accolades given to me because of all the mistakes I have made with my own kids. But I am grateful for this day because I get to tell the most amazing Mom how much I adore her.

She is the most positive, knowledge seeking person who continues to always strive to keep close to the Lord. She constantly has shown all eight of her children and grandchildren and great grandchildren, that she is a true Daughter of God. She has always shown by positive example how much she loves her Heavenly Father and wants to walk in his path of righteous.

I am so happy for this day to tell my mom that she is my hero and I admire her for everything she has done and continues to do. In my eyes she is Mother of The Year every year.

Hello Lover...

I ran across this picture/recipe on the Internet. It's all I can think about today.

HELP ME!

A Long Shot?

I really don't think it's wrong to love a Mutant...I really think I could make it work. (Honestly I really, really do) Hopefully Wolverine will see my devotion.

Some People Run in the Rain, Others Just Get Wet...

I don't care how you say it...cloudburst, precipitation, condensation, deluge, drencher, drizzle, fall, flood, flurry, heavy dew, liquid sunshine (that's a stretch), sheets, sleet, spate, spit, sprinkle, stream, sun shower, torrent, wet stuff, window washer, it's raining cats and dogs, la lluvia (Spanish) or it's a little damp...it rained the WHOLE 18 miles we ran. It never let up, we couldn't stop laughing and it was a dang good time. Good Times.

I know I posted something very similar to this last weekend, but seriously folks, you can't make this stuff up.

5 Grateful Things:

*A hot shower after a really, really wet 18 miles

Cowgirl Up!

I cannot even begin to explain how proud I am of my Little Cowgirl. The 85th Utah State Jr. Livestock Show was on April 30th.

She was so scared...mostly because of Stew the Steer and his bad attitude. She didn't want to show this beast because she was afraid that he was going to plow her over or trample her into the ground.

But...she took that "Bull by the Horns", took control and paraded him round that ring like a true champ. She did it with the CUTEST most confident smile.

I truly, truly was the proudest mom there.

Baylie's Dad, Layne, is really a good Dad. He made this all possible for her so she could have such an amazing experience. Thanks Daddy Layne. Their relationship is really special.
