Happy Mother's Day!

I am so thankful for my mom. I feel so blessed to be the daughter of such a wonderful person. She is the greatest example to me. People use to call me little Rhonda when I was growing up and I never really thought we looked that much alike. But there is no one else I would rather be like than her. She is the BEST! I love you mom!

Okay yes I think your mom wins an award for one of the best moms around town. I have ALWAYS loved that woman- so down to earth, and she can relate to you on any level. I saw her at target a couple wks ago and i was shocked also when she called last week to get my grandpa's number. i wish we could have chatted longer- it was so fun to hear from her though. i felt bad b/c my kids were screaming in her ear! love ya steph!

Stephanie, your mother is an amazing woman. She is like a second mother to me, and even moreso now. The whole Cook family is so solid and wonderful and I am so glad that I have had you all as part of my life!

Hey Steph! Your mom is the greatest! Aren't moms the best? I agree with Blythe, you and your mom could pass as twins or maybe sister! :)

I too love your Mom. I love your whole family!!! I miss Wrinkles though. Ha I think that was your dogs name. Very cute pictures of your Mom and tribute.

You two are so cute. It's funny, you learn how to really appreciate your mom when you don't live close. They do a lot more than we give credit.

Rhonda Cook said...

Wow! This is Mama Cook! I didn’t know about this mother’s day post until today. Ten days after Mother’s Day! After reading the comments I was wondering if you were talking about someone else. Steph, you and your friends all made me cry. Well, I got you all fooled haven’t I, ha ha! Thanks though. It is me who is the lucky one to have a “Little Rhonda” to look up to! As you all know she is so thoughtful and sweet. I only wish I was as pretty as she is but our personalities are too much alike. I remember one time when I substituted seminary she came up to me before the class and said, “Mom, don’t talk loud and move your hands and be all excited when you teach.” Well, I tried but before long I was acting myself, talking loud and getting excited. Everyone in the class said, “Oh my gosh Steph, you are so your mom!” It was fun. I miss you Steph. You are too far away. I wish I could put my arms around you and give you a great big hug right now. Love ya Steph! XOXOXOX Mom
