Happy Birthday Mom! Getting younger every day...


I am a few days late posting this.....but Happy Birthday Mom!!  Her birthday was on April 21st, and like the devoted mother, she spent the day cheering for Jayli's softball team while watching Addi.  She is amazing!  I have pushed the delete button on the same sentence at least 5 times because I want to find the right words to express what an incredible mother she is.  
My Mom does so much:
1.  Works as an EMT for Iron Co. Ambulance
2.  Tends Addi & luvs it!
3.  Cheers/stresses at all Jayli's sporting events (there's lots of 'em).
She also attended everything the rest of us kids participated in....this is just a current list.
4.  Helps with homework
5.  Is the Bishop's wife, which includes mucho time on the computer cuz Dad isn't computer friendly.
6.  Feeds us
7.  Takes G'ma & G'pa to doctor appointments, & spent lots of time at the hospital them lately
8.  Does the routine housework that takes tonz of time & energy, e.g. laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning, organizing, financial planning, balancing the checkbook, etc. 
9.  She fixes things.....stuff around the house you would ask your husband to do: plumbing, electric, you name it!
10.  She has just the right amount of push......what I mean is that all our lives, my mom has figured out what each kid's strengths, weaknesses, and potential, and then pushes us to be our best without making us feel like we aren't good enough.  It's kind of hard to explain....  Sure, she does worry, sometimes a lot, but that's cuz she luvs us....you just have to talk her off the edge sometimes.

I could go on and on, but she would probably like it if I stopped!  

Happy Birthday Mom!
