On Monday was Mom's 43rd birthday. Now I didn't upload 43 pictures of her because 1. That would take a loooong time. 2. I don't think we have that many good pictures of her. She really doesn't have a lot of pictures and she thinks she looks goofy in the one she has. Here are some of the better ones I found. (And a couple of random facts about her. )
::She was born in 1969::
::Over her lifetime she has lived in 12 different places. ::
:: When she was little she thought all girls were right handed and all boys were left handed. ::
::Her dream as a little girl was to have a large family...and she got it. ::
:: She has 2 sisters and 1 brother. (Mom is second from left.) ::
::She was 19 when she married Dad. ::
:: Yes, she still does this. ::
::She has 10 sons and (only) 3 daughters. (Plus 1 daughter-in-law...so far.) ::
::She loves anything chocolate. Chocolate cake. Chocolate pudding. Chocolate cookies. Chocolate milkshakes. Chocolate chips. ::
:: The year she turned 30, the twins were born. That made 8 children under the age of 10. (It's a wonder she didn't go crazy.) ::
::She loves going to bookstores, but she very rarely reads books just for herself. They are usually school books or books she reads aloud to the kids. (Which she is very good at.) ::
:: On a long shopping trip with her you can figure on listening to all the 'oldies' on the radio. (And she sings along.) !!! ::
::She can butcher a chicken in 30 seconds. ::
:: She likes to stay in the background of things...unlike quite a few of her kids. :::
:: We love you, Mom!!! ::
