MOMMA MIA

Happy Birthday Mother Dearest!

Today my wonderful mom turns ...
Did you really think that I would risk my life by telling you how old she is!?! I really enjoy living and would like to keep on enjoying it. Only our family and the government knows how old she is...oh and maybe her doctor... and the home teachers... and Dorris at the Post Office, but other than that the secret is OURS!

Sunday, the whole family traveled long and far to be together for the event. By long and far I mean Logan (Cort, Clayton and I), Elwood (Rach, Nate and the rug rats), Murry (Kamerica) and next door (Grandma)... oh and Brandon made a brief appearance from his room in the basement. I think the journey was the hardest on Grandma and Brandon.

Mom loves L.O.V.E.S Clayton's steaks. Lucky for her he was nice enough to oblige cooking duty. After a hearty dinner (seriously who uses the word "hearty"?) "heavy, heavy hangover" presented it's ugly head and presents were opened and wishes were made.

Here are some pics from the festivities...
Thank-you Dairy Queen for the awesome ice cream cake. However, in the future (per Clayton's request) would you please put actual cake in the ice cream instead of crushing up oreo's and calling it cake? Thanks.
Tydon has this think for running around with no pants on. I think he might be on to something. Maybe I will give it a try tonight. Kidding...maybe.
Who forgot the candle's? I can't show you a picture of Mom and Kace (always has to be there) blowing out the candles because THERE AREN'T ANY.
Sweet digital picture frame. The person (or people) who gave that to you must ROCK!
Dad and Tydon (with pants on) on the tractor. Tydon loves to ride on tractors and 4-wheelers.

Good times. Thanks for having a birthday mom. We are so thankful for all you do for us. Your example and selfless acts don't go unnoticed. However, you definitely don't get all the praise and appreciation you deserve for them either. We love you so much. Go treat yourself to an outfit at Christopher Banks or American Eagle on Dad. I will let him know later...maybe.

Heidi-Mom will not like that you mentions Christopher and Banks on this post. She gets mad when I say that. Mom IS the Best though! WE LOVE YOU!

Thanks for the very nice birthday post. I have the best children ever, and that includes my son-in-laws and grandchildren! It was a fun day with everyone out. The meal was very delicious (thanks to Clayton for cooking it)! Oh, and really, my doctor, the hometeachers, and Dorris at the Post Office do NOT know my real age, and I can't shop at Christopher Banks anymore because you told me thats an Old Lady store. Thanks! Anyway, thanks for a great party. I love you all!

Whatever, Christopher Banks has the cutest sweaters ever. I want to shop there. Happy Birthday, mom! And I also love kamerika. Much better than Erikami. I'm changing the cookbook.
