This mothers day I was thinking about all the mothers in my life (and believe me I have many) and how grateful I am and how I have learned from all of them! My 5 sisters - Serena, Kerali, Trina, Kendra and Marenda - have each taught me so many things by the incredible examples they are to me! Marenda even taught me how to shove clothes far enough under the bed so that mom thought we had cleaned our room. ;) I may not have always appreciated the mothering I received from my sisters at the time but I feel like the luckiest girl in the world now!My mother-in-law has been an amazing example and so loving and accepting of me into the Hickman family.
And of course my own Mom! What can I say about her??? Well she is simply the best ever!!! Besides putting up with me when I was a sassy teenager, feeding me when I was a baby, keeping me clothed(in wonderful homemade clothes), hugging me when I was sad, teaching me a love of music and bailing me out when I had procrastinated my homework until the last minute (and many many many many many more acts of love)...My mom was with me when I became a mom! She helped care for me and encourage me (along with my sweet husband, Preston, my dad, and my sister who is the most mothering sister of all to me, Marenda) as I ventured into new territory! I will always cherish that sweet time in my life and the support I was given by my Mother! If only I can be half the mom she was to me as I grew up and is to me as an adult!
THANKS MOM!!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

What a beautiful Mother's Day message/card! Did Mom even get to see it? I don't know if they can get on internet in LaVerkin. When I talked to her last night she said she hadn't heard from you for a while. Anyway, we'll have to point her here soon so she'll know how much she is loved.
You and Talia look adorable together!
Thanks Kendra! Yeah I need to call mom but I didn't have her phone number at grandmas house. Now I do and I will call her.
