My Mom is the Greatest aka Happy Birthday Mom or I am the Luckiest Daughter in the World

My mom is the best. She is the best at alot of different things. She is the best mom, the best teacher, the best listener, the best friend, the best example, the best babysitter, the best at caring for people. I love her. I could go on all day about the ways that she inspires me. She is so gentle and caring. She never raises her voice. She takes time to listen and laugh. She loves to laugh. She isn't caught up in material things or the media. She has a great self-image. She compliments everyone around her. She is willing to go through thick and thin with you. She will cry with you or let you cry on her shoulder. She willingly and freely gives hugs, tickles the grandkids, and is just the greatest. I love her so much and always have felt the I am the luckiest person in the world to have her as my mom. I wanted to make her special cake for her birthday and since I know a little bit more about cake decorating now then I did last year at this time I went for it. My mom loves daisies and I thought a light blue cake with daisies would be just right. For more details about the cake click HERE



My mom took the kids to a movie this morning and then we grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and went up into the canyon. We walked on the trails and enjoyed the shade and nature.





Jacob had to bring a bike so he could be as dangerous as possible



Overall, it was a great day. We had fun spending time together celebrating my mom and enjoying the outdoors.
p.s. the cake was pretty darn good too! Love you mom!

What's your email address?? I want to ask you more about your Pilot. We've definitely looked at the Pilot, my only concern is that I don't want kids climbing over the seats all the time. It seems like they can move around easier in a van??
