My Mother's day treasures

Here are my 'treasures.' These precious children have made my Mothers' days more joyful. Yesterday, at the dinner table, I was telling Stephen how Mother's day use to be a sad day for me because I didn't have him or McKinley in our family yet. Then, I proceeded to explain to him that I feel happy on Mother's day now because they are here. Stephen replied: "I came back Mom and I love you." My heart swelled with joy and understanding. It was as if he was saying...we were together before in the premortal life and now I came back to you. These little ones are so wise. My joy is full!

McKinley took of crew of entertainers to get her smiling. Thanks Grandma for singing Itsy Bitsy Spider...whatever it takes to capture a photo. : )
McKinley will be 2 in July.
A pondering moment for Stephen.

May all those who "mother" others be blessed for their compassion and determination. It's time to build up another 'army of Helaman.' I loved President Eyring's talk called "Helping them on Their Way Home." They are counting on us to lead them, guide them and walk beside them. I will do my part to keep them on the path.
