Happy BIRTHDAY mom!!!!

Yesterday we had a surprise birthday party for my mom and uncle Joe. They just happen to share the same birthday. My mom is horrible with surprises. But we got her! It was a great day even the kids who have been sick even perked up and ate some yummy cake thanks to Mam-Maw.

The ladies in the family!

All our men!!! WE are getting so big.

Mom with some of her grand babies I thought that she looks really beautiful in it so I threw it in for fun.

Happy Birthday mom. Today is my mom's birthday. I just wanted to share a little about her and why I love her so darn much. I have. Growing up she was completely amazing. I remember her at one point taking Jennifer band, Robbie to karate, me to physical therapy daily. I still do not know how she did it. I got a lot of things from my mother, wild driving, love for being creative, talking to my self on occasion, and my strong will. Of all the things that I learned from her I am most thankful that she taught me to never give up. I remember her going a little crazy at the hospital on nurses and then walk in to my room brave and be so loving. I remember at times begging her to let me stop physical therapy. I am thankful she somehow managed to take on the world. My life is unbelievably blessed because of her. When I had choices to make my mom always said to me "go pray you will know what to do". I did, and somehow what I needed to do ended up being exactly what she would say to do. I am thankful she is my friend. I am thankful she is still my mother. I am thankful that she will give my children love and life full of memories that will be something that they will cherish for the rest of there life. I am sooo thankful she showed me what a marriage could be and always reminded why I should never ever settle. It never fails at some point during the day I do something just like my mother and my first thought is " oh man I am my mother" then my next thing is a smile. No matter how crazy she can be, no matter if she is going to sing opera loud and proud while cleaning forever , and no matter whether she fusses when I do not listen to her. it all comes to the fact that there is no one else in this world I would rather be like. I love you mom and I am thankful you are Abigail's and Harris Mam-Maw. They are truly blessed. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
