Moms Rock

My brothers Jasson and Aaron with Mom

Me and my sisters, Steph and Paige with Mom

I am so grateful for the amazing mothers in my life. My mom is my dearest friend whom I love so much. She is so beautiful and has has taught me so much. Mom, thanks for all you do for our family. Thanks for everything from answering my gardening questions to listening to me complain about this, that and the other. Your crack me up kid-o!

Spencer and his Granny

I have also been blessed with a very sweet, talented mother in law. Sue has always been so good to me and I am so grateful for a wonderful mother in law. Ben's grandmas are also very dear to me. They have helped fill a void since my Granna and Grandma Dent passed away when I was in high school. Last night, Grandma Betty gave me one of her dolls (she collects dolls of all kinds). This baby boy dolls name is Jayden and Grandma told me it is her favorite but that she wanted to give it to me for good luck in the future. :) I couldn't help it, I bawled like a baby and I think I hugged Grandma 100 times. I was so sad that my camera batteries died on me so Ben took these lovely pics of me this evening after I had been working in the yard...sorry.Thank you Grandma Betty for the adorable doll. I will treasure it forever! I love it and I love you.
I am so thankful for all the mothers around me who are incredible examples to me of what I hope to be someday. I am not a mother yet but thankfully I have been blessed with my adorable neices and nephews who mean so much to me. Yesterday my neice Cortney, said to me "When you finally have 4 kids, you are gonna wonder why you ever did that!" You're funny, Cort!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day.

Your mom is cute. I remember meeting her a couple times and she was so sweet!
By the way, you look so adorable in the 2nd pic with the striped shirt with your fam. You look so good. I just love your hair...keep it that way forever :)

Your niece is hilarious. That is so funny. If you ever need a new kid around, you can always borrow Lydia...she can be a terror sometimes, but she's always good for all my friends'. Go figure!

P.S. You totally should've come to SD with us. You could've showed us the ropes. We really did have a great time so I'm sure we'll be going back again :)

Erin, did you recognize that little guy in the pic with my mom? That's Spencer!!! Crazy huh?? So adorable but he has informed my family that he only likes Ben and my nephew Tanner. :( What a nut!
