MOTHERS DAY 2010

The only way to get through life is
to laugh your way through it. You
either have to laugh or cry. I prefer
to laugh. Crying gives me a headache.
from: Marjorie Pay Hinkley






I was thinking lately that it would be another 2 full years before I had ALL my boys back together with me under the Mulberry trees...
but now I realize this is no longer true!!
Clarks latest shipping orders came again. Elder Clark will be home on June 29th!!! He'll be flying right into St George. I will have one glorious week in the company of my boys...before dear Brian has to head out to the MTC and then Chile!!!
ONE GLORIOUS WEEK.
Then 2 more years of missing someone very dear to me!!
Time....its a weird trick...without the smoke and mirrors.

For this will now also be the last Mothers Day for me and my SINGLE daughter!!

She wipes of my kisses!!!! Just like my grandsons!!! How rude!!!


See what I mean...
Time messes with ones head!!!!

And there are all those OLD people in our lives, who warned us repeatedly that the older we get the faster time flies....
My dear mom warned me and warned me!!!

And even though she doesnt change a bit...
Now Im OLD and giving the same warning.
TIME is a thief, but its hopeful too!!
See!!!
More mess'in with my head!!!

What a beautiful family!! It's not hard to see how much you love those kids, Cindy! I think you are glowing in every picture.

Such fun pictures. I know just what you mean about time flying by way too fast. It is incredible! But, you Cindy, are not getting older, you are getting better. (or something like that)
