This picture is of my Mom as a little baby, being held by her grandfather. Amazing!
And again, this is my Mom as a baby, being held by her other grandfather. I love it!!
For mothers day this year, I decided to get some pictures of my Mom's childhood- the two above, and blow them up and frame them for her! Such a simple, yet very meaningful gift. My Mom is so great! She raised 6 kids (I'm the 4th), is a dedicated member of the
Church, and is admired by many for the person she is. She is so talented also. Check out just a few of the quilts she has made, and documented on her
quilting blog.
I love you, Mom! Happy Mothers Day!!
This picture is of the St. George
LDS Temple. I love this picture for many reasons. My Mom's father took this picture on his honeymoon, but since I never met him (because he died before I was born), this picture says a thousand words to me- about him, about his faith, and about what he would have taught me, if I would have been able to meet him. I blew it up and it now hangs in my bedroom. I know this picture probably speaks a million words to my Mom as well, since it was taken by her father!
My little sister is going on a mission soon, so for her birthday I made her a little scrapbook that will fit in her scripture bag, so that she can show the people on her mission pictures from home. My husband took a small album on his mission and he said that everyone loved to look at it.
I put pictures of where she is from- UT, and a picture of our parents. And a picture of the Salt Lake Temple.
I left a page for her to put pictures of her home- so my parents house, and the mountains that they see every day. (One of my very favorite things about UT!)
And I left some pictures for her to put our family pictures in that we are getting taken in a couple months- right before she leaves:) This book is also for her to carrier a little piece of home with her where ever she goes:)
