Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my Mom's birthday! She is such a great Mom, wife, grandma, and friend! Here are some photos I found of her that will show just how great she is!

One of the things that I love about my mom is how she can have fun. She dresses up every year for Halloween! Here is a picture of her (as a cave woman), my dad, and Sam on Halloween of 2008. That is some serious dedication to have her whole face painted black!

My mom is the Queen of taking pictures. I love this picture of her because this is how I often see her, with a camera in front of her. She is making one great history for our family, I am sure of it! If I ever forget to bring my camera along, rest assured mom will have hers.

Mom is a wonderful Grandma. She loves to spend time with the little kiddies. She will get right down on the floor and play with them, and the grand kids love it. It is really special for me to watch her as a grandma because I realize that is what she was like as a mom to me. She is so creative and thinks of fun things to do with them. She loves them so much.

My mom is interested in our lives! This picture was taken when my parents came and visited us in San Francisco. It meant a lot that my parents came out and visited us. She wanted to see and hear everything about San Francisco. She is involved and cares a lot about our lives. She tries to help us, and it means so much that she is there!

My mom has a strong testimony of the gospel. She studies the scriptures every day, faithfully! She gives 110% to any calling that she has in the church. She does so much behind the scenes and serves constantly. I have many memories of her making dinner for people in the ward. She spends so much time preparing for lessons, and she makes an active life of living the gospel.

My mom loves my dad. They are so cute together, even after 32 years of marriage. This is one of my favorite pictures of them. It is so natural and sweet.

My mom is the such a good mom! She has always been there for me. During hard times and during good times. Thanks for giving your life to all of us kids mom!

I LOVE YOU!!! Happy Birthday!
