"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you to all the wonderful Mother's I have in my life, and Happy Mother's Day!"Me and My Mom"
"My Mother in Law"
"My Grandma Pasley and Grandma Fullmer""Josh's Grandma Williams""Josh's Grammie Fjelstrom""The day I became a Mother""The second time becoming a Mother""The third time becoming a Mother" I absolutely love Mother's Day. I love being a Mommy. The day I became a Mother was the day the journey started. I held my tiny baby in my arms and wondered if I would ever be the Mother that my Heavenly Father wanted me to be. I didn't know how I was going to take care of such a tiny, helpless little baby and someday a teenager. But it was at that moment that life truly began. I have never felt so much joy and love at the same time. I learned how to care for that baby, and I learned how to be the Mother I was taught to be. My Mom has always been so good to me. She taught me how to be the Mommy that I am to my three little girls. They love me everyday, they kiss me and hug me and want to be with me. I treasure every moment I spend with the precious little girls I have been given. There is never a day I wish I wasn't a Mommy. I love it and I cannot get enough of it. With every baby I have my love grows stronger and I have more love to give. A lot of people say they don't want very many children because then they can't give them all the attention and love they need. I feel different about that. I think the more we have in our family the more love I learn to give. I love everyday of it. I feel so lucky to be able to be a Mother, it is the best gift, not job, in the world. I want to tell my Mom how much I love her and how lucky I am to have her in my life. She is so good to me and has taught me all that I know today. Thank You Mom!

Happy Mother's Day Natalie! I think you are a great Mom, I can tell that you love it so much. I do to, but sometime on Mother's Day I don't feel like a very good Mom in comparison to other Mother's. Oh, well I wouldn't trade my kids for anything.
