Happy Birthday Mom!!

My mom is truly my best friend. I want to wish her a Happy Birthday!! I had so much fun looking through so many photos of her childhood. She is so beautiful in every way, and when they were passing out moms in Heaven, I think I got pretty lucky!
This was a picture when she was a little girl in 1960 in front of her house in Bountiful Utah. My grandma always had her dressed in the cutest dresses. I love the hair in the 60's . Too cute!!
My mom will probably kill me for putting in this picture, but I couldn't resist! This was at girls camp 1971 at camp Piuta. She was about 15. It's fun to see this side of my mom acting crazy with her friends. What a cute butt!!
This was my moms sweet 16!!
Her school picture in 1972. This post is dedicated to my Mom. Thanks for being the kind of Mom that was always an example. You stayed true to what you believed no matter what crazy trials you were handed in life, and still do. You taught me how to love myself because I was a daughter of God. You taught me the things that matter most in life! Thanks for being my Mom. I love you!

What a sweet post, Angela! I too agree you got a great Mom!
And lovin' all the pictures! The one of her at her sweet 16th I think looks so much like Michelle. Then the one of her 1972 school picture I think looks so much like Jamie.

That's such a lovely post. It's remarkable how each one of you girls look like your mom, but you are the image of her in the last pic. What a blessing it is to have our moms in our lives.

Your mom is adorable in these pictures. The baby pic looks alot like Jamie and Brandon. How are all of your siblings? I look at my oldest in 4th grade and remember thats how old I was when we became fast friends. Unbelievable how time flies. I hope my kids are able to find friends as sweet and uplifting as you always were to me. You have a beautiful family. Im glad you are so enjoying life.
