Shout Out to the Women in this Family

I just want honor all the women in this family -- daughters, daughters-in-law, married and unmarried. I have had the opportunity to see all of you in action - some more than others, but I am very touched and impressed with what great women you are and how faithful you are in the gospel. Those of you that have children are showing me what fantastic mothers you are. You have patience as you deal with your little ones and big ones. You are all inspirations to me.

Kaitlin and Gillian do not yet have children (Kaitlin is working on getting a husband) but I have the same confidence in your abilities to love and cherish those who come into your lives as the rest of the women in our family. You are now the favorite aunts..... :) It's fun to watch you interact with all the little kids and to see how much they love the attention you give to them.

I simply want to tell you that I love all of you and consider it a privilege to know you and to have you be part of my life. You teach me new and better ways to do things every single day.

Happy womanhood day!

I have always, and will always be the favorite aunt. Sorry girls. My husband (when I find him.... maybe I have ;)... Fall Semester will be a clue to that I guess haha) will be the favorite Uncle as well. Sorry boys. hahaha
I just want to say thank you to you Mom. You are the rock of this family and keep us grounded. Thank you for everything you have done for me, as well as this family. Heaven knows it hasn't been easy, but you have been there through thick and thin. I love you! I hope everyone has had a wonderful day.
Love, Katy
