I found this quote by Marjorie Hinckley that I just love and I thought it was appropriate for Mother's Day (a little late!)
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking the kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with the children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

We had a great Mother's Day weekend. On Saturday, the girls went to brunch at Thanksgiving Point and then we went and got pedicures and went shopping at Gardner Village. We had a new addition to our family this year, my brother's fiance Nikki. It was fun to have her with us! We had the whole family over to our house for dinner on Sunday. It was a fun family-filled weekend!
