A Great Big Thanks

Can you imagine someone that is willing to babysit, someone that loves to vaccuum your home, someone who isn't afraid of the piles of laundry in your laundryroom, who does grocery shopping for you regularly, sweeps, someone who takes your children to the movies, someone who does it all willingly with probably too little thanks.

Happy Birthday Mom (and Grandma.)
We love you and appreciate all you do.

I've decided I love the simple toys that seem to be few and far between these days. The kids had a great time with these hoola-hoops.

Grandma even joined in the fun.
Imagine the birthday girl spinning this hoola-hoop around and around.

(No one has to know it fell after three turns.)

Here's a little birthday treat for the biggest Elvis fan I know.






This evening we went to a fabulous wedding reception.

Look at these two gorgeous guest book attendees.

On the way home Cameron said,

"That was the best wedding I ever had."

Debie, I love it. And I love you mum. She is the best at what she does and that is just loving and supporting you and the kids. She is such an example to me of someone that is just willing to be such a big part of their childs life. Happy Birthday sweet lady.
That looked like a nice reception. I hope you all had fun. The girls looked beautiful. Kenley looks really grown up. WOW.... Love the Hoola Hoops and Elvis. Great Pics.

How fun! Zoe and I loved our little version of the Twist. Thanks for the Elvis. I hope your Mom has an amazing Birthday because she is obviously an amazing woman to have raised one.

And, your girls are beautiful! I can't believe how fast they are growing up. Make them stop!

Simple toys are far and few between. And the funny thing is that they are always the most popular!

You and your mom are lucky to have eachother.

Funny about Cameron because Kaden thanked Heavenly Father for the wedding in his prayers last night. He said the best part was playing teather ball.

Hannah is OBSESSED with her hoola hoop.

That reception was great! I loved that you got out there and danced with your kids. What a fun mom you are! And your girls...GORGEOUS! I agree with Heather. You need to tell them to stop growing!

Happy Birthday to your mom!

I loved watching your girls (all the little girls really) who were having a blast dancing the night away. That was so much fun!

Moms are so great aren't they?! Happy (belated)Birthday to your Mom.

Your girls are growing up so fast. It's amazing-I see both you and Brent so clearly in them. :)

I remember you telling me about your mom helping you out! That's awesome. And good for you for not feeling guilty, but accepting it with appreciation. I need to work on that part of it.
