Mom's 75th birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!  Isn't she pretty!  

We had a wonderful dinner at Tom and Cari's house to celebrate her "real" birthday! Cari made a yummy roast and mashed potatoes. Then we had some brownies and ice cream. Kai and I danced of course. No one else would. Then we went to see Cari's new house, its really beautiful. I'm excited for she and Tom. Its a great house. Sorry your birthday was uneventful mom but we love you. You're a wonderful mother and you do so much for us kids. Thanks for doing the best you could for all of us. Thank you for teaching us the gospel and living a righteous life. You are a kind woman who tries really hard. We know you do. It hasn't been easy but you did it. You have wonderful children and grandchildren who love you very much!! You only have about 15 years to go...unless you want to live as long as your friend Winnie. You want to try for 100...I wouldn't want to either   :)
LOVE you mom. Happy 75th




This is my Mommy!  Happy Birthday!



My sweet Kai baby


******Kai baby...when I asked him if he wanted to dance he said, "well what song do you want to dance to." I said how about "our song"? He said Na!  I said OK, pick one, Ill be right in to dance. When I got there about 10 min later (I had to finish the dishes) he had the Ipod ready to play. I looked at it and it was our song he picked. Taylor Swifts "Love Story" I started to cry. I didn't think he remembered what our song was. I haven't played or mentioned it since Christmas so I didn't think he would ever remember. BUT HE DID!  I knew when we danced to it a few years back he felt what I did. Its been a tradition ever since for us to dance to it. When we danced to it years back we had a conversation... he asked me how it would be for him to be able to walk and get married and have a wife. He asked me if I ever thought it would happen for him. I cried to him and told him he would in the next life for sure and she would be amazing. Ever since then its "our song." It just meant so much to me that he remembered.  I love him so much.  Then of course I was feeding him his brownie and all of the sudden I started thinking about someday he's not going to be here...and I FREAKED out. Tom looked at me and knew something was wrong. I cried so hard to him. He held me like wonderful fathers do. I just can't imagine life with out him. He is the glue that keeps this family together.
