Something to be Proud of

Jazz had her last Border League Basketball game today.  Their little team of 6 took 2nd.  I am so proud of them.  Its been a long season and I have so enjoyed watching these girlies and getting to know each of them.  They each brought something extra to the team.  I have a mothers love for all 6 of them.  I am excited for high school.  I think they will dominate. 

Jasmines coach was amazing.  He was always, always positive with the girls and it brought out the best in them.  They wanted to win, not only for themselves, but for the coach, too.  Jasmines self confidence has shot through the roof.  Thanks for a great season, Coach Mike.
And I just had to throw this in.  When Bentley eats, this is his mmmm face. It means "This is some great grub!"

My Mom

I have, arguably, the most amazing mother on earth.  I just want to share some things she has taught me:

* Youre never too old to have fun
* Dont complain - theres always someone worse off than you
* Laugh, laugh, laugh - especially at yourself
* Family first
* Love the gospel
* Keep your husband happy in the boudoir
*Give everyone a second or third chance
* Its easy to find joy in even the smallest of things
* Theres always someone who needs help - always be looking for those service opportunities

I wish I was an eloquent writer and could better put my feelings into words but here goes:  My mothers love is pure, unwavering and unconditional.  I thank Heavenly Father everyday for sending me to her.  She is strong and wise and loving and I couldnt ask for anything better.  I hope that I am half the mother that my mom was, and is, to me.

Sis

 Last weekend Kymbre came down.  We havent had all our family together for over a year.  I can understand the concept of letting your kids spread their wings, but I sure would like to clip all my baby birds wings so they cant go so far. 


Three pictures of Kymbre.  Its a record. 
Hurry back, sis.  We miss you already!!
