My Gorgeous Mom

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Wedding 6733

Thank you for being the best mom I could ever ask for.

You have always supported me in everything I do.

Utah Valley Marathon 28

You encourage my dreams and deal with my strangeness.

You are the best example of charity and kindness and the best listener I have ever met.

Thank you for passing down the height trait to me....ha, jk I think I passed you up in the 8th grade.

Thank you for dropping everything when I needed your help and teaching me how to love and serve others.

Thanks for being my best friend.

Happy Birthday Gorgeous Mom. I love you so much and I hope you enjoy the cupcake we are bringing you right now:)

What is your favorite memory with your Mom?

-Freshmen year we would meet at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and split a carmel apple as we sat outside for hours talking about everything.

Do you look like your parents?

-I think I do!!

What are your Saturday night plans?!?!?!

-Basketball game watching and Billy promised me ice cream because I was so good today and did all my chores.

I have so many great memories with my Mom. One of my all time faves was when we went on a Disney Cruise just us my freshmen year of high school. It was so fun!!!
I love my parents so much! They will (and have) do anything for me and spoil me rotten.

I don't follow basketball but your BYU's Jimmer Fredette grew up in the town I live in. They want to start an annual parade for him. Thought you might like to know!

I look more like my dad, supposedly, but I don't feel like there is a massive family resemblance.

We are still moving, so Saturday night involves packing and more packing. Yuck.

My mom helped me drive my 'new' car from California to New York when I graduated from college. We had to do it in 3 days!!! It was a gas!
At March 19, 2011 at 7:18 PM , Lindsey @ Textbooks and Cookbooks said...: Happy birthday to your Mom!!

My favorite memory with my Mom is reading books together on the living room sofa while drinking tea or HOT CHOCOLATE! :)

I definitely look like my parents. I'm really tall and tan like my Dad and I have my Mom's face...especially cheeks! Haha.

My Saturday night plans include vegging out and watching a movie/tv! I've been working on reviewing a midterm all day and my brain is fried!

Have a fun night!

Sat night plans - dinner at an awesome Mexican restaurant in the "sta
bby" part of Dallas, then the Dallas Stars hockey game (in a suite with the BYU/Zaga game on tv). Nice.

This makes me wish I lived closer to my mom.

I think I look like my parents. I know I definitely have many of their beliefs and habits!

I think the older I get, the more I look like my mom! And my dad a lot too! Not complaining, they are both beautiful people!
At March 20, 2011 at 12:55 AM , Jennifer said...: My favorite memory of my mom is when I was around 5 or 6. When we would go grocery shopping, there was this little retro 50s diner inside and we would usually get lunch. I would get a grilled cheese and she got a BLT. And we would eat our food in these awesome red sparkly booths with Motown playing in the background. It was our "date" and I loved it :) Moms are the best! Happy birthday, Janae's mom!

My parents are the best!

Happy birthday to your mom!
At March 20, 2011 at 6:31 AM , Keri said...: Happy Birthday to your mom! Love the pics and that you are so close to your mom. People used to say I looked more like my dad but lately people are saying I am starting to look more like my mom...
At March 20, 2011 at 7:04 AM , Unknown said...: Ooooooo! BYU vs. University of Florida!

My husband is a Gator... we're cheering for BLUE and ORANGE! Sorry, Janae. Can we still be friends? :-)

Happy birthday to your cute mom!

Be honest--did the cupcake survive the trip and not get eaten before you gave it to your mom? haha

I don't really see a lot of resemblance between you and your parents. Now you and your sister? No way y'all can deny each other.

I look much more like my dad than my mom.

My favorite memories of my mom usually involve Christmas or camping times.

I totally look like my mom!

The kids and I spent Saturday night curled up on the couch watching Secratariat and screaming our faces off during the race scenes. So exciting!! GO, RED, GO!!

When I became a mom, I truly realized right then and there all the worry, love, pain, and joy she experienced for the last 30 years with me. Moms rule! Enjoy her special day with her- lots of hugs and smiles coming her way!
our Saturday night? Movies, food, and watching my daughter get into a great book- kids rule, too! Oh and I love the picture of your neice's outfit- totally reminds me of my daughter's "special" outfits:)
