To the Mothers.....

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!
i know this is late, but that is what you get for taking a swig of rancid milk (you get sick and do not get to blog about you Mother and Mother-in-law until the day after).

We have not really gotten to spend a lot of time with Kenny's Mom since being married (thanks to the dang green card) but every time we do I am amazed by her. She is such a hard worker and awesome mother! She is always so kind, sweet, and willing to help. She cares so much about her kids and is always taking care of everything and everyone. She is an amazing mom. Plus, she raised Kenny and he is so absolutely fabulous and amazing...so clearly, an indicator

First of all, sorry about this picture mom. But i absolutely LOVE it!

But anyways, sometimes after i do something Kenny will tell my that it reminded him of my mom or that my mom would do it the same way. i love getting these comments. i truly aspire to be like my mother. she is such a good example to me with her constant service and care for others, her strong foundation in the gospel, and her steadfastness in standing for what is right. she is the most amazing women ever. she was my best friend all growing up. she is always there to just listen when i need to talk and give comforting advice. she knows just what to say and is usually right. she has always been there supporting and helping me feel like i can accomplish anything. i would not be the person i am today had it not been for her influence.

WE LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!

best sunday school comment ever...

Last Sunday, Kenny and I taught the Marriage and Family Development class at church. The lesson was on Family finance/budgetting. During the tithing portion of the lesson, one of the girls said the best sunday school comment ever! She was talking about how paying a full tithe does not necessary mean we will not have any monetary challenges. We are promised blessings if we pay a full tithe, but that does not necessarily mean those blessings will be monetary... the Lord will bless us through different means as He sees fit. Anyways, this was her comment....

Even when we pay a full tithe, the Lord is not going bail us out of sticky situations. He is not Obama... we are responsible for managing our own finances.

Well said!
