The Best

This is my family..........

Ok, so ithis is my family almost 19 years ago.

This post is dedicated to my Mom, in honor of Mothers Day. She has dedicated many years of her life to not only raising her children, but also giving them an education....which isn't always easy ;-)

When Wray and I were still just toddlers, she would be trying to explain fractions to Jaime while the two of us were pulling on her arms asking for play dough, cookies......

(just for you mom :-) )

While Mom was careful to make sure we all understood fractions, carbon, horizontal vs. vertical...etc....she was even more concerned that we all had a strong faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Hours, Days, Weeks, Months she spent with us studying memory verses, going over practice questions, and loooong drives to quiz meets where she spent her entire day dedicated to us. With some friends from church, we put together a top notch quiz team (if I may say so myself) and she was always the first to encourage and support us. This picture shows Jaime with a quizzing trophy.

Mom always wanted her three children to have close relationships with each other. Her dream was for the three of us to stay close once we were grown. And I can honestly say that she did an excellent job. :-) We obviously had normal sibling squabbles when we were young, but we remain close to this day.

Even when Jaime went off to college, we were still a 3some......

So heres to you Mom! To the years of your life you dedicated to your family ( and the years to come ). We may not express this as often as we should, but we all appreciate every thing you've done for us! From putting extra salt on that apple :-) to late night talks when we needed it most. You definitely are the Best!

We Love You Mom!

Happy Mothers Day!
