Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Today is my mother's 50th Birthday!!! Last night my family threw her a surprise party/BBQ - I wish we could have been there!!

I have the best mom! I have learned so many precious things from her - most importantly how to be a good mom. She always puts her kids first and we can always count on her! Volleyball games, prom dress shopping (or any kind of shopping), sleep-overs, lunch-dates, happy times, sad times, mad times - she is always there! She was there when we brought both of our boys home and she has helped me so much in learning how to raise them. She an amazing grandma and Blake and Eli adore her. I hate to think what my life would be without her and her influence. I am forever grateful for her example and I am blessed by her generosity and patience. My love, appreciation and understanding for my mom has grown immeasurably now that I have my own children. Thank you for being my mom!!

Thanks for all you do for me and my family!! I love you, we all do, very much!!
Happy Birthday!
