Happy Birthday Mom!

It was my mom's birthday yesterday. She is such a fabulous person. She is continually looking for and involved in service opportunities. She loves people and loves God. Mom- thank you for being such a special and strong example of Christlike service. Thank you for desiring to have so many children and making us each feel individually loved. I continue to learn from you and am touched by your influence. You love all of us so individually and specifically. Happy Birthday.
We had a celebration yesterday for her at Melou and Russ'. I took a few pictures of my growing family.


(L-R) Russ, Melou, Corinne, David, Rebeckay, Maren, David, Becky, Mom, Dad, Emily, Brian



Maren Paris (Melou and Russ' oldest) and Emily
She is almost a teenager! I can't believe it! She is barely shorter
than I, which I know isn't saying much, but she is 12 years old!



Rebecca (David and Corinne's oldest)
She is also almost a teenager. I can't believe her maturity.


Jonah (Becky and David's little boy)
He doesn't love pictures but I think he is so adorable, I had to include it.

The highlight of the night was when I put my mom's new birthday
nylons (that was her birthday present wish) on my dad's head. He
proceeded to to run downstairs like this to scare all the grandkids.
Now you can see a glimpse of why my childhood was so much fun.
My cute mom and dad love to laugh.

Meeting your dad as a mission president didn't really show me how you got your personality. THIS helps me understand a bit more!
