MOM and DAD

I have great parents. I know that when kids get older they say this... or maybe they don't. I just know that my parents have done so much for me and my family.

Dad has a way with me that he really doesn't share with the other kids. He has a spiritual side that is pretty amazing. I love that. I don't think a lot of people every see him with that side. He is always the rough and tough guy... well it seem to others anyway. I have always been his punkin' noodle along with the rest of the girls in the family. But, I believe, (and I can believe it) that I was the original!! I have a very handsome dad. I love his silver hair. In most pictures he is being funny or looking away from the camera.

When I was growing up, I though I had the coolest mom in the world. One things she taught all of us was how to clean, (even if I didn't like it) I know that it is those little things that are important. Like scrubbing the corners with a toothbrush. You always knew when all the kids helped with cleaning the house and we were done cleaning THE HOUSE WAS CLEAN. I pretty sure I passed those traits down to my kids as well. It's called the white glove test.

Both my parents are always giving and helping others. It makes me sad to see my mom having trouble walking. She is still the most beautiful woman in the world. My hair is coming in now and I put it against my moms hair and GUESS WHAT!! yes it is the same color as my moms. Pretty cool huh?

At Erica my nieces wedding last week, my daughter Jenni took these pictures. She captured my mom and dad with real smiles and how they look to me. Nice work my Jenni!!

I really love my parents and all they do for me and for my family, my extended family, neighbors, ward members, the list just doesn't end!
