HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!


My mom's wedding day!


Senior picture

Mission picture with companion!

So I don't have very many pictures of my mom, a lot of them got burnt when our house burnt down (as you can see on some of these.) I love my mom and wish she was here with me and able to come see me, hang out and help me with the kids, canning, life-you know! I love her so much for the person she was and the things she stood for, one day I hope to meet her and have her say that she is proud of the life I have led. Happy Birthday MOM! She would have been 65 today.

Mindy these pictures are beautiful! I can't believe how much you look like her! I've never seen pictures of your mother and like Char says you can see each of your siblings in her.

I say "Great minds think alike" oh wait! I didn't say that. Anyway, I thought about mom all day on her birthday. I told my kids that it was her birthday. They don't even know who she is, just someone in a picture, even though I talk about her. If fact, Tia Leni came to our house last week and Kaleb and Korbin have taken to calling her Abualita(grandmother in spanish). I miss mom. I look forward to meeting her someday, not any day soon I hope though!
