Mom of the Family turns ?

February 23rd was my mom's birthday, and to celebrate, she thought it'd be fun to go shopping. She had a gold necklace that was bought at a garage sale for 25 cents, so she exchanged it at a place that buys gold and silver and got over $100!!! So she had fun using that money to buy some new clothes for the upcoming convention. :-)

On her actual birthday she chose omelets and monkey bread for breakfast, and frozen pizza and cheescake for supper (healthy, I know, but we all tend to pick those kinds of foods for our birthdays because we usually don't eat them!!). She had a fairly relaxing day sleeping in, reading, talking on the phone, and watching Tim Hawkins, Fireproof and some of the Olympics. And she had to work on the convention, since it's coming up here in just a few weeks!

So here's some pictures of mom growing up, getting married, having kids, but staying young!!

Mom as a baby with her family - mom, dad, and five older brothers!

 

Mom and dad got married in '86, and they still look very young, don't you think?! Mom was 19 years old (not in the picture below, but at her wedding!). :-)

 

Happy Birthday Mom!! I love you!!
