Birthday Wishes

I turned the whopping 37 yesterday...and it was, hands down, the best birthday I've ever had.  My kids all remembered to tell me happy birthday before I left the house (Danny woke me up with "Happy birthday, babe"...best wake up ever).  The day itself was wonderful.  Work was great and the people I saw were wonderful.

The most amazing thing happened, though, and that's what I need to blog about so I never forget.  Both of my beautiful girls posted on my Facebook wall and their posts made me laugh out loud and cry at the same time.  I don't ever want to forget it, so I'm going to copy/paste those awesome words here so I might read them any time I want to.

My children are my greatest joy, my greatest blessing from a Father in Heaven who obviously loves me and trusts me with these elite spirits.  I am the luckiest mother in the world.  Read on...

"So I have the MOST AMAZING Madre IN THE WORLD!! She can get through anything good or bad. She can give until there is deffinetly nothing at all left to give, but then wake up in the morning to just simply do it all over again! She is a wonderful life example to look up to and have goals set. And when she asks you "WANT SOME OF THIS!" I recommend that you do NOT answer with ". . .yes" cause she is ...

a flippin lady ninja! Yupp that's how awesome my mom is! I love all the support she gives me with whatever I might be doing and she never downgrades me with anything. She is always there by my families side and goes through anything with you, thick or thin. I might think at times that she pushes me to hard, but she only does it because she cares and knows that in the end that is what I would have truly wanted. She looks out for us, even though mama bear might be scary at times, and she only wants what is best for us. She gives whether or not she wants to. She is simply BEAUTIFUL, loving and oh and how could you not love her! She is the sweetest thing and I don't know where I would be on this earth without her! Love you mom and thank you SO MUCH for everything you do for me, big or small! I appreciate you putting up with my crap even if you don't want to! Thank you mom, I can't say it enough!! Hope your birthday was BOMB!! LOVE YOU forever and always!
Love, Bones ♥
