Happy Birthday Momma!

 

my mom's birthday is tomorrow....and to commemorate this event I have decided to post a few of my favorite memories that I have of my mom:

• When I was 3 or 4 and I didn't want to take my nap so I would stay in my room for 5 minutes, come out, and say I was awake, and she would let me watch E.T. instead of sending me back to bed.
• My mom buying me super girlie dresses with matching bows. I would cry when I was made to wear them...I don't know how my mom put up with me sometimes.
• Watching my mom cook with my grandma up in Moses Lake while I played with toys in the kitchen. 
• Her buying me ice cream every time I got a shot, or went to the dentist...She still takes me to get ice cream sometimes.
• My mom dealing with all my scratches, broken bones, bruises, and all the drama that went along with it.
• Singing with my mom on Sundays with her at the piano.
• Her buying me a hope chest when I wasn't sure I wanted one, now I love it! I basically have a dowry now.
• Being goofy and laughing so hard that she gets a cramp
• Dancing with her in the kitchen
• After high school I suddenly realized that she was super smart and she really did know what she was talking about. (teenagers are stupid!)
• All her sayings: Good Honk! You're a dip. Work until the work is done. And the way she yells your name to get you to come.
• Watching her jump on the tramp with the correct form...
• Most of all I remember all the times she let me cry, be crazy, be mad, be stupid, have fun, laugh, go on adventures, and she still loves me!
• Too many memories to put down, but there is some of them!

I LOVE YOU MOMMA!
