"Are you going to have 17 kids?" Or after we have a baby " Only 10 more to go!" I secretly wish I could have a dozen.
Mom is a ROCK. She has great faith and gives without reservation.I think our children will have fond memories of her retrieving goodies for them from her secret stash in her bedroom. I have to be careful not to compliment her on specific items in her house.
For example: Me:" I love your vintage books!" Mom: "Take them! Their yours." And she's not kidding. She'll have them packed up ready and waiting for you at her front door.
Dad has rich spiritual depth from a life of loving Heavenly Father and the Savior and putting them first in his life. I love sitting in one of their overstuffed rocking chairs on Sunday evenings and listen to his stories. Hardly ever does he get through one without shedding some tears. Tender, sweet, humble man.
They love the Lord and it shows. We have a lot to live up to.
I'm personally glad she didn't give up at number 13 or 14 like most people would have:) #16 is my dream come true and soul mate. Without their example of devotion to marriage I wouldnt be treated like a queen in my own home.

So ARE you going to have 17 kids? Just kidding. Andy's parents are so awesome!!
I missed your call. I will have to try you tomorrow. I can't think of what pink shoes.
We're going to have another class with Linda on Thursday night. Wanna come?? :)
Awesome. Thanks for sharing that...and small worlds of small worlds... a young adult here recently visited the states and guess who she met? One of the family, someone named Moroni who grew up with 17 siblings. She was amazed and wants to visit again soon! I am thankful for that example too and that we get to share that blessing because of your family. Thanks.
