Happy Mother's Day to all my favorite moms and moms to be!

I stole this thought from my friends blog. I love it.

"A mother is she who can take the place of all others
but whose place no one else can take."
-Cardinal Mermillod

Love my in laws. I'm the luckiest girl to have married into such a great family. All my sister in laws are wonderful mothers and great friends to me.
.
Both of my grandmas are examples of faith, unconditional love and service.

Aahhh my sisters. What would I do without them? I talk to each of them at least twice a day. They are my very best friends and I love them SO MUCH. Originally I wanted to have a family of all little boys, but now that I have Charlotte I want her to have what I have. I would be totally happy with a family of girls.
Both Mandy and Katherine are such good moms.

And Emily is the best aunt and will someday be the most amazing, fun mom!
Seriously all of my nieces and nephews love Lou Lou. She is their favorite.

My two most favorite women in the world.
I don't know any two women who are more compassionate, giving and selfless than my moms. To me they are the epitome of a mother, not just to their own kids, but grandkids, school children, neighbors, ward members, and anyone who needs it!

I feel very fortunate to be a mother. This by far has been the most humbling, hardest, rewarding experience of my life.

I think is a day for ALL women to celebrate. All women, I think, are a mother one way or another. I believe it's a woman's nature to love and take care of others and that's what being a mom is all about.

very touching post lar! you are right, just being a woman makes you a mother in some way. and when you actually are a mom to a little baby you have that much more respect and love to all the women in your life who have mothered you in some way. love you and happy mothers day to you!

Yeah, moms! You are so lucky to have such supportive people in your life...I am, too! I've read a few blogs about people who don't have the greatest family and it makes a difference. :) Happy Mother's Day!!!!!
