Found these cute little fingerprints on the table the other day.

It made me think of this quote (that I quickly snagged from my sister’s blog):

“If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will – to your surprise – miss them profoundly.” ~President Thomas S. Monson

All my kids (especially Esther right now) are really good at leaving me these little treasures, which are my reminders. Reminders of my crazy life. Reminders of cleaning that needs to be done, but mostly reminders that, I am a mother.

I am grateful.

Happy Mother’s Day!

We’re trying our best, but this little something won’t arrive until tomorrow (though it’s been only 8 miles away for two days.)

We hope it’s something you’ll enjoy. We thought it might be fun to see some of your grandkids sweet faces and your own handsome son as you drink in your nourishment.

Happy Mother’s Day!

To a wonderful mother, MIL and super fun Grandma.

Love,

US!

Carter and I were working together in the kitchen when a love song came on the radio. Sadly thinking how quick things will change I said, “Someday you’re going to fall in love and get married.”

Carter replied, “But I don’t want to do that…

… ’cause I love you.”

Then we hugged and I enjoyed that he was still my little man.

I love you too Carter!

Cool Design by: Chad

I thought this artwork Chad whipped out in a couple of minutes last night was pretty cool…

Chad just got a new “pen” for his iPad and was testing it out for the first time last night on this paper app.

I think he is a pretty good artist.
