Happy Birthday Mom!!!

We thought Mom might skip her own birthday pictures post. Maybe because she doesn't want to admit how FANTASTIC she is - she's humble like that. Or maybe because she stopped having birthdays already? July 6, 1952 - July 6, 2010 (58 years - not possible!). So we 'broke in' and posted one for her.

Kathy, Granddad and Grandma Price, Aunt Lynnette and Aunt Barbara - June 4, 2010 - A little family history/ family bonding adventure to Utah Cemeteries. Even when she can't sleep, Mom spends some of her free time doing genealogy and learning more about our very extended family.

Mom and Jessi - June 7, 2010 - Beus Canyon - Mom's always up for an adventure. Part of the fun is her fantastic attitude; even if things don't go as planned at least we're together and adventuring. She’s a great example of not complaining – side effects of her chemo experience include “tingle feet” and the resultant poor balance. But she’ll still go hiking and not say a word about it!

Aspen, Oma and Ellie - July 11, 2009 - in the bouncer at the Simpson Family Reunion - She's wonderfully organized. She plans meals for multitudes, activities for active small ones (have you tried tie-dye with 2 dozen kids!?), and always has time for hugs and individual attention.

Kathy and Gil – 1974 – Engagement Photo. So glad she found her sweetheart! She supports him in all their adventures, misses him when they’re apart and together make a terrific example of a long, happy marriage.

Opa, Stella, Oma, Bree and Christy – April 2, 2010 – Easter Extravaganza at Bogus Basin – Mom supports family traditions. The Great Christmas Tree Hunt, Family Ski Day at Bogus, Eagle Fun Days Parade BBQ, and The Christmas Eve Eve Sleepover at Oma’s are all big favorites.

Happy Birthday! We're so glad you're OUR Mom and Oma!

Happy Late Birthday!! I know it is the 6th and you are 5 years older than me although you certainly don't look like it or act like it :)
Thanks for being you-- a great Wife, mother, Oma, and friend. I appreciate all you do for the kids!
