Her and her beautiful mom

Her brothers...she was the only girl and from what I hear, made their lives crazy growing up but they all love her still :)

I really should get a better picture as they were both nervous on our wedding day. My mom told me I would marry him the first night she met him! We were only dating for like 2 months! I guess mother knows best!

My mom and Laurie...my mom was so picky with who Trev dated but absolutely loves Laurie!

Me and Mom

Today is my beautiful momma's birthday. I won't say how old because she would probably kill me but I will say that she doesn't look her age and I hope I can age as gracefully as she has! I was lucky enough to be able to spend the day with her which was totally unexpected. You see, we went to the Seahawks game yesterday and her and Steve were going to go home early this morning but Steve, being the entrepraneur that he is, decided to take advantage of being over here and meet with some clients so I was lucky enough to spend the day shopping and having lunch with her.

If you asked anyone in my family or anyone that knew my mom for that matter, one thing they would all say about her is that she is unique and slightly crazy..hence her nickname by my cousins "Crazy Aunt Kelly". There are many things that make her unique and we all love her for them!

My mom is one of the most treasured people in my life. She has always put her kids first; and looking back, I can't believe how incredibly lucky I was growing up and hope that I can be half the mother she was. Some of my favorite memories is of her waking me up super early in the morning so we can go grab breakfast before everyone else woke up or go shopping, just the two of us. She always had a way of making each one of us kids feel special. She definitely had her battles with us and I was definitely not the easiest kid to have growing up, but I never once doubted her love for me. I don't think she ever missed one of my games and would spend her time driving us kids wherever we needed to go. One of my favorite memories; though there are many, is helping us get ready for school dances. This is something I will always cherish and can't wait to do with my kids some day.

She has a way of touching the heart of everyone she meets. I admire her for her confidence and wish I had the same. Some of the best days of my life were spent with her and I am excited to continue making great memories as a best friend. I could go on and on about this amazing woman but I think I will just put some pictures of her with some of the people that love her most.

Happy Birthday Mom and I Love You!!
