Mother's Day

I love this time of year. This is a giant tree at SLC Cemetery. Who's that good-lookin' guy? I do love my sweetheart; he means the world to me. We love the same things.
There's that giant tree! Oh, it's so beautiful! It takes our breath away!

Mother's Day found me very sick and 20 pounds overweight.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

This is our humble abode. My goal is to lose 20 pounds and buy a new house. So far I've lost 10 pounds in the past couple weeks. But where's my new house?

Clark comes to visit his ol' mom. Oh, I love that guy; he's so good to me!
My exciting workspace.
My tremendous husband, who loves me with his life. Oh, I do love him, too!
Sheri come to visit me for Mother's Day. Isn't she cute? Oh, she's a tremendous person.
I made Pop take a picture of me on Mother's Day. I was dog-sick, but went to church and led our branch choir. It lifted my spirits. I hated not seeing my children that day, but all the kids called me and I felt truly honored. I used to hate Mother's Day, but now I love it. My favorite part is giving things to my daughters. They are the honored mothers and I love them so much.

Yep, I'm smelling the blossoms while they last.
My sweetheart and stud.
Brent is a very wonderful Branch President. Everyone loves and appreciates him.
This is "No Temperature" weather. My favorite kind!

Liz Swensen comes over that night with a pie for me!
Liz is so gracious and fun to be around. Thank you, Liz!
Duke, did you know I had to protect my pie! She's a tiger!
Oh, but Papa loves her, too!
She makes him purr!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS,
DAUGHTERS-IN-LAW, AND FUTURE DAUGHTERS-IN-LAW!
I LOVE YOU!
