Does the size of the flowers given you determine who loves you most?


Ok, so I had to post this picture.  As you can see, Todd and the children gave me flowers for mother's day, but Alex found the tall purple one in the forest.  It is just so funny to look at!  I think it's about three feet tall! It is called Allium, and it is a member of the onion and garlic family.  Deer don't like them, that's why it is growing in the forest.  I know you love me best, Alex!  You gave me the tallest flower!

IF YOU CAN'T SEE THE PURPLE FLOWER, LOOK AT THE BOUQUET OF FLOWERS AND THEN LOOK AT THE CEILING.  YES, THAT IS A FLOWER, NOT JUST SOMETHING IN THE BACKGROUND.

Happy Mother's Day!


I have the best two moms!  First, my own mother.  I am grateful for my mom.  She is always concerned for me and my family and is always interested in what the children are doing.  I love her very much and am grateful that she raised me up in gospel.  Where would I be without knowing what purpose I have in life?


And my second mom, Carolyn, Todd's mother.  (I don't like the title "in-laws" because to me they are my family as well.)  I am grateful for Carolyn and all she has done for our family.  I'm grateful she raised up her children in the church as well, or they would be no Todd, well for me to marry anyways!

And lastly, Happy Mother's Day to any other woman who taught me or was an example to me in any other way!
