A Great Mother And Wife


For those of you who know Heather, this will come as no surprise. I wanted to share a few of the many great things she has done for our family over the years:


1- She always puts other first (she is usually the last to eat dinner, and the first to help clean it up). She likes to make quilts, hats and other things for poor and distressed people.

2- Humility and Kindness describe her character. She never brags about herself... The focus of her words is always towards others.

3- She knows how to make the best of a bad situation. And, we've been through a few these past couple of years.

4- She is beautiful in many ways (this is where she would want me to focus on her spiritual beauty! So, I will...). She reads, prays and lives the gospel of Jesus Christ every day. And, it has really been an inspiration to us all. As a side note, she does have the most incredible blue eyes :)...

5- Her favorite activity is being a mother. I'm personally glad that she has chosen to stay at home. Not just because she's a much better cook than I, but because having her home really makes our house a "home".

6- She knows how to have fun. And reminds us all to "Turn off the TV and read a good book" more often...

7- Recently, she's helped us all to remember the importance of the Temple. She's set a goal for us to try and attend once a week. I hope we can do it...


So, thanks Heather/Mom for all you have done for our family! We love you very much...



Love,


John, Allison, Rebecca, Tommy (and Matthew)

Whoa, this was a shock, I've been trying to get John to be a "contributor" on "our" blog for months! Thanks, John- I think he's trying to get back at me for the post last week! ;)
