MAPLETON — The children in Nancy Madsen's, Heather Bingham's and Lara Twede's classes at Hobble Creek Elementary School have no problem when it comes to explaining why they love their mothers.

The consensus seems to be that good mothers do laundry, cook food, drive to the fun and dispense kisses and love at no charge.

"My mom is great because she helps me when I get heart," wrote first-grader Emma Schultz who then adds, "My mom helps me because she pulls down my bed."

"She takes me to fun places. She kisses me good night," said Kelsy Corfield.

Jane Anne Metler said her mom makes her lunch, and "She dus my londry."

Ty Wolkgramm appreciates the laundry, too. So does Cameron Dorny.

Cedar Madsen's mom not only does the laundry but "takes me to balae."

"My mom helps me do my dishes," said Carter Paxton.

"My momy is the niceest. My momy is prite," declared Tatia Weight.

"My mom tacs me to scool," said Kylie Swenson.

"My mom is so special because my mom tucks me in bed," said Aspen Madsen.

Jaden Christensen's mom does the same for him, and "she reds to me," he said.

Nick Hoffman likes help from his mom making his bed and with the dishes.

Jensyn Black appreciates his mother's help, too, and the fact that she "coocs food for me."
