Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom!

It's my mom's birthday week. So I want to wish her a very happy birthday.
She is honestly the best person I know. I wish everyone could know her.

Your lives would be better for knowing her. Trust me on this.


She has one of the biggest and kindest hearts that ever graced this earth. Yet it resides in such a small human frame, one that is slowly growing weaker and smaller. But it seems as her frame shrinks and struggles, her spirit and her heart enlarge.

She is humble and lovely.

She is strong and caring.

Her love is immeasurable.

She is beautiful inside and out.

She is amazing.

And I'm blessed that she is my mom.
I wish her all the joy she can hold in that enormous heart of hers.
Love you mom.

Birthday Week

So this week is the birthday week of my oldest son. He's a pretty cool kid. He was born with a mild form of Autism. I went through his pictures to try and get one of him each year on his birthday, which is something that I thought that I had. I don't! I feel bad about that but I got ones that were close to his birthday.

As I was going through his scrap books I remembered that the kids had emptied the pages from the books at one time and I didn't have time to put them back in in order so I had a difficult time finding pictures that were close to his birthdays. I need to get him sometime this week and go and take birthday pictures.

Please for you to enjoy. Jona through the years.

Happy Birthday Week Jona! (By the way, he is now officially taller than his dad)

You've Had a Birthday, Shout Hooray!!

My second oldest child and my oldest girl turned 11 on the third! Woot! One year older and wiser too. Isn't that how it works?

She is a great kid. Very helpful and kind. She is hitting the "tween" stage though. But to be honest I have nothing bad to say about her. We have our moments as everyone does. She's not perfect and neither am I. But we love each other. And I think she's pretty darn cute! The middle picture was taken on her birthday. The rest are just a few of my fav's of her through the years.
