So when I was in Utah a week ago, I was talking to a friend of mine who was having some mother-in-law problems. As I went to bed that night at my sister’s house I sat and thought about the “all evil mother-in-law” and the “wicked step-mom”, because for some lucky reason when it comes to these commonly negative terms (think “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “Cinderella”) I have it really good. So here’s a shout out to my Step-Mom, Heidi, and my Mother-in-law, Cathy.
Heidi-Why I Love Her 
1. She has planned some of the greatest family trips and activities. And when you are planning for 8 kids combined that is no easy task. Here is Heidi held by some of us at a ropes course. (never done one? Ask me about it)

2. She thinks about us even during her busy life. For example she was at Gymboree the other day and bought Kennedee a bunch of clothes cause she was thinking of us……(Oh, and she has great taste, so the clothes are DARLING)
3. I like to ask her for advice because I know she will be supportive and not judge and will listen well to whatever my struggle may be.
4. She has a fun sense of humor. She makes bets with my husband and lucky for him, she just can’t put down that diet coke and pays him out every time (smile). Here is Heidi caught in action right here with diet Coke at the baby shower she threw me.

Cathy-Why I Love Her 
1. She is really creative with events and themes. She planned and threw my baby shower and always has the cutest décor and table settings for every holiday.
2. She is very genuine and really cares. There is not a holiday that passes by that she doesn’t send us a Happy dadada Card. And not a gift received without a thank you card sent.
3. I like when she buys clothes for herself, and then realizes she doesn’t like it on her……and then instead of returning the item, she gives them to me. So I’ve got a cute wardrobe from her mistakes (and she also has cute taste and it helps that we have the same size).
4. And she lives close by. Yeah for us. So she has us over for yummy dinners and watches Kennedee for us sometimes too. Here she is with me and her mother, Carol.

You are very blessed to have such great moms. It sounds like they are wonderful- not to mention they are both really cute!. Not very many people are blessed with 3 fun moms. My mother-in-law is wonderful, too, and I have been grateful for it many times (especially when I hear other people's "horror" stories).
I want to see a section on "Why I love my Sister in law, Tiffany." Please let me know when this is complete.
I liked your comments about my mom. She's a great mom.
Looks like you figured out how to glam up your blog. It looks great! :) it is tricky at first, but you will be a pro in no time. Cute post! :)
