The women in my life...

In honor of Mother's Day I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite memories from time spent with some of the important women in my life.

Mom, of course I have lots and lots of memories from growing up, but my favorite childhood memory of time spent with you was after I broke my finger. I remember meeting you at the hospital or doctors office and I remember how much better it felt just to see my mom! I don't really remember how old I was, but I must have been around 5. I also remember going home and how you let me watch The Land Before Time over and over.

Grandma Jane, I remember how much I loved going on our "summer adventures". Brooke and I both had so much fun on those trips with you and Grandpa! I don't even really remember where all we went...just how much fun we had. I also remember how much I loved being sick when we got to go up to your house and be spoiled. You or Grandpa always made a special trip to the grocery store for whatever Brooke and I wanted.

Grandma Mary, I remember learning how to sew with you. I loved quilting that pillow with you, I can't remember how old I was when we made those, but I would guess around 10. I was so proud of what I had made. I also remember countless times we made cookies and watched those great old movies together. And while I may tease about it...I really did like State Fair.

Brooke...well there are too many memories to pick just one! You are an amazing aunt, and always there to help. I think you are going to be an awesome mom! I can't wait for my little niece to arrive.

And Cindy, my favorite memories with you are those of shopping and hanging out while the guys were out hunting, when Brandon and I were still just dating. I don't know how many wal-mart trips were made...but they were always fun!

So Happy Mother's Day (a few days early) to all the wonderful moms in my life!
