Mothers Day 2010

Special Things To Remember this Year:



*Thoughtful card and gifts from Tyler and kids.


*Uplifting talks at church- reminded that it is the small and simple acts that really matter. Also felt inspired by a great idea to reinforce gospel teachings at home.

*Logan snuggling up to me during sacrament meeting and asking if we can talk about mothers at dinner tonight.

*Delicious meal lovingly prepared by Tyler

*Fun memories shared at the dinner table

*Mariah and Harrison fighting over my lap (not so pleasant at the moment, but isn't it great to be wanted??)

*A sunny day watching my kids play together outside.

*Playing Uno Attack

*Talking to my mom who was the perfect mother for me.

*Feeling a burning desire to actually be the kind of mom that the cards I opened claim me to be.

*Thankful for my eternal companion who loves me.

*Feeling renewed and rededicated to fulfill my divine purpose.

*Gratitude from head to toe.


Logan's Poem:


Dear Mom,


I am glad you are here to take care of me. When I am not feeling well, you help me feel better by: helping me do stuff. When I am lonely, it helps for you to comfort me. You make me laugh when you sang a funny version of Rudolph in the car with me. I will remember that forever!


I love the meals you feed me, especially rice and beans and pasta salad. I am going to try harder to help you with chores. I will do the dishwasher and clean my room. I'd like for you to teach me to play tennis. I like to watch you having fun. The think I most appreciate about you is you love us and play with us. The story I most like to hear you tell is stories that were in the past. I love you most for staying home with us. Happy Mother's Day, Logan.



Mariah's Poem:


My mom's name is Robyn. She is 40 years old and has short hair. Her favorite food is rice and beans. I love my mom because she plays basketball. Love, Mariah
