In honor of moms {utah family photographer}
A Heart Just like Mom
I May not pray often, and I may not pray enough
but when I do, this is what I ask of you..
God please give me a heart just like hers
She loves unconditionally, no matter what, no matter who..
God give me courage to be like her
She's very brave, she makes me unafraid..
God give me wisdom just like hers
She knows everything, big and small, she's there to help through it all..
God give me strength just like hers
She's been knocked down, yet she stands strong for another round..
God give me beauty just like hers
When she smiles it gives me that feeling that everything will be okay,
and all my problems disappear for awhile....
God give me generosity just like hers
She helps the helpless, she never thinks of herself and she's so
un-selfish....
God- someday, if I'm at least half the mom she was to me, I'll know that you were listening On the day that I prayed.

Thank you mom for any and everything you have done for me, what a great example you have been to me! (My beautiful mom, my baby and me)
Before I was a Mom
Before I was a Mom -
I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was a Mom -
I cleaned my house each day. I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never been puked on - Pooped on - Spit on - Chewed on, or Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and My thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom -
I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests...or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom -
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known The warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
