Happy Birthday, Mom!!

Today is my mom's birthday. Happy birthday, Mom! She has always been one of my best friends. We've always had a close relationship, ever since I was young. I have many many wonderful memories with her growing up, but I will just share a few.

When I was in third grade, we read The Secret Garden, and when the movie came out, she took me out of school to go see it and have lunch. I can still remember the theater on the other side of town that we went to see it at. I have such a cool mom.

My mom was always teaching us things and encouraging us to learn. One summer, for every two books we read, we got to go out with her and have a fun day (lunch, shopping, movies, whatever we wanted to do). We also had a vocabulary word of the week. Whoever could use the big word the most, got a prize.

My dad had a father/son trip with my brothers their junior/senior year, and my mom and I had a mother/daughter one. My junior year we went to San Francsico, and my senior year we went on a ski trip to Park City. We had so much fun!!

And now she is such a good grandma! She went up to Utah to teach me motherhood essentials the first 10 days of Stone's life. When she left, Cliff and I were nervous to begin parenting on our own. I think we're getting the hang of it. :)

I really do have the best mom in the world!! Love you, Mom! Happy Birthday!
