Happy belated Mother's Day to all you wonderful mommies! I have such an appreciation for moms. I remember last Mother's Day thinking to myself, when Mia was only 5 months old, "what's all the fuss about?" Mia was such an easy baby! She never cried, slept a lot and ate everything in sight. She was awesome! This Mother's Day as I reflect back on the year and a half of being one, I realize that it is a much trickier job than I though last year! :)
Although Mia is an amazing daughter and she really is a great kid, motherhood is hard. My mom always tells me when I'm frustrated with Mia how sheltered and lucky I am because she is so great! I'm just saying that you could have given birth to an angel and it would still be difficult.
My mom is, in the nicest way and form possible, a freak of nature for having 7 all within 2 years of each other. She to me is the perfect example of a selfless, caring, giving, loving, nurturing person. All the while with 7 kids, maintaining such a strong spirit and upholding her role as a righteous member of the church. For me, at times, I get so caught up and busy that it seems it has to be one or the other. My mom proves me wrong. Not only is she an active member of the church and a mother of 7, she is an amazing wife, the funnest grandma, the best shopper, a fashion icon in Redmond and other surrounding cities, a real beauty, a phenomenal dancer, a loving person and my personal favorite, she's a freakin hoot!! (Funny)
I am so grateful for Leanne Fife Jasperson and her influence in my life and our friendship. It is unwavering and always there. I love you so much mom!

Alli, thanks for the sweet words and tribute! As all you sweet moms know, as soon as you have a sweet little one, all your selfish desires go out the window and all you want is for them to be happy. I love you, you are a great mom and daughter!
