Happy Birthday MOM!!

There's another birthday we have to celebrate on BB's bday and that is my moms! Wow, May is such a crazy birthday month it seems like...my dad's is coming up later this month too! Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday mom and let you know how much I love you! BB is very excited that you guys have the same birthday and keeps asking me if you are having a Lightning McQueen party too? :)
I can still remember how excited I was to call and tell you that Brayden had arrived and that my birthday present to you that year was that you had become a Grandma!!! I have to say that this is and probably always will be my favorite memory. BB is a lucky kid to share his special day with such an amazing person. I truly look up to you in every way and hope I can be as great of a mother to my kids as you are to us.
I love playing games as a family because we can always count on you singing at one point or another while waiting for your turn. It's so hilarious!

I love seeing you and dad hold hands and seeing how much you love you have for him. It's something I've always known and never questioned growing up. I was grateful, with all my friends parents getting divorced when I was younger, that I had parents who loved each other. Melissa and I always joke about how in the summer when we were little you put us to bed SO early. We would always stare out our window at all the other neighborhood kids still playing outside! Now that I am a mom too, I know why you did!! Peace and quiet! :)You are amazing with flowers and gardening! I wish I knew as much as you. The yard always looks gorgeous! I can remember always helping you cover them up with white sheets at night when it was going to frost so they wouldn't all die. :)I loved how much fun you made every holiday growing up. We always decorated our house and did so many great traditions that I am trying to do with my own little family now. I can especially remember some birthday parties you threw for me that were so fun- like the one where you had all different colors of yarn strung around the house that we had to follow to our treat bags. And the murder mystery one was the best!!You have such a big heart. You are always thinking about others and serving them. You always put us kids first and its something that you still do. You truly are not only my mom but my best friend too! I love all of our long phone conversations and how I know that you will always be there for me. I really do cherish how close we have become and I love you SO SO SO much!!!

Hope you have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY in Florida! Enjoy all that sun! :)
