First, yesterday was my stepmom Mignon's birthday. (aka "Migmommy") She is one of the most hilarious women you'll ever meet. She doesn't mess around - she gets things done. Not to mention the fact that she will do anything for you & rearrange her entire schedule to help people out. She's definitely one of those "give you the shirt off their back" kind of people. I love you muchos Mimi!! **By the way, she rode this horse like no other! You would have thought she was a rancher the way she just hopped up & rode off into the sunset.**
Second, is my sister-in-law Rennie's birthday on Sunday. If you've ever had the priviledge of meeting her then you know what an amazing women she is. I admire her in so many ways & learn from her daily. Many don't know, but this past year has been one of the hardest of my life. Rennie was my rock. She was always supporting me, always worried about me & always helping me out in anyway she could. I only wish that someday I can be as wonderful as her. She's definitely one of a kind. I am forever indebted to my brother Luke for marrying her. Or I know I would not be where I am today! I love you Ren & am counting down for your return! ('Cause you know you have to come back to the valley!)
Third, is my Mom's birthday on the 30th. WOW! What can you say about your mom? She's unbelieveable! She's a true example of faith to me. When times get tough - she may stress quite a bit (Thanks again for passing on that wonderful trait to me!), but she always knows it will work out in the end. She never gives up. This was a hard summer with my brother's passing. In fact, that whole week I couldn't even look at my mom. I just couldn't imagine now that I'm a mother myself what that would be like. But, she's handled it tremendously. I love you mom!!Lastly, I must end on a more sad note that is completely not related to these birthdays. I was in the kitchen yesterday filling up a water bottle when Jadyn got ahold of my camera. She took a picture of me, looked at it & then said,"Mom, you look like you're fat." THANKS!! That makes my day! As if I wasn't self conscience enough already. I love my kids!

Don't feel bad, James tells me every day, "NOW look how big the baby is"!
You are sooo not fat. Kids just say the greatest things sometimes.
On a better note. It is so great to have awesome people to lean on! Hope you have a great day. And stop by when you drop Jaden off when you have time.
My kids tell I look like I'm having a baby too. Makes me feel great! And you are not one BIT fat!
You are dead meat little girl...where did you get that ridiculous picture of me? No one is safe these days - someone is always pointing and shooting! Other than that...I love you like crazy and wouldn't trade our almost 20 years together for ANYTHING! You rock! and..Jadyn is warped - we all know that!
Great women in your life! Tell Mignon Happy Birthday for me and your mom!!!!
FELIZ CUMPLEANOS EVERYBODY!!!!

Mel..your words are too kind. It's funny because I strive to be just like you everyday of my life. Patient, kind, humble & forgiving. Good on Luke for letting me be part of this family. Love you Mel
