For those of you who know my mom you know that she's pretty close to a saint. I always joke that I'm going to handcuff myself to my mom because I know she's going straight to heaven.
She's one of the most selfless people I know. If you say you like something of hers she says, "Here...you have it." Like at a restaurant if you say, "Mom, that steak looks good," next thing you know half of it is literally being tossed on your plate. John once told her he like beef jerky and every since then when we visit mom has bags of it for him to eat. She knows I love butterscotch squares from Sees and when we visit there's always a box of them next to our bed. John always jokes that we should tell her we really like money!!
Having 10 kids she was pregnant for over 7 1/2 years! Let's not even talk about how many years she nursed. Mom, you've given us much more than your womb. Thanks for making us all feel like we were the most important child to you. Thanks for always taking the time to take interest in our lives when we call. You've been a great example of living the gospel and that's one of the most important things you could have done for us. We love you!
I wish I could be with you on your birthday but I can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks for our birthday bash with just the girls!

Tell your mom happy birthday for us! She's always made us feel so welcome whenever we're over at her house with Janece. And I was amazed that she remembered all of our names after only meeting us once!

I can't believe that first picture is of your mom! - it looks so much like YOU! That means you'll look like you are thirty when you are 70 - just like your mom. What a sweetheart!
The first thing I noticed about your Mom's little girl pic is her lips. I love the larsen lips. You have them and they are beautiful. Pucker up John!
