Happy Birthday Mom!

Today my "Mom Girl's" birthday! If you don't know this women you should! I could never have asked for a better mother. As a mom of 8 children she has always made each and everyone of us feel like we were her favorite. Obviously I am her favorite when it comes down to it but here are some fun memories/reason why I LOVE Kathleen Clair!
1). She's so generous and willing to help anyone
2). She always told me I could use her as an excuse if I didn't want to do something
3). We never had bedtimes growing up because she liked to hang out with us. I remember being in high school going down to say goodnight to her and she would say no stay and talk to me, I would try to resist and then 45min later I would actually leave to go to bed.
4). That girl knows how to find a bargain. "Cute shoes mom," "Oh I had a 45% off coupon and then had this other coupon so it only cost...."
5). She counts us all as her best friend
6). She is the queen of "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" of course all moms use that saying but she really lives by that rule she never speaks unkindly about people and always stops us from doing so.
7). She lets me call her Kathi and a few other nicknames that are funny to us but you might not understand like Lame A and Crazy
8). In 4th grade she told me I couldn't say the words stupid, shut up, freaking, or butt...I decided to make it on word and would say "stupyshutfreakinbutt" and she thought it was so funny she let me use it! hahahaha
9) She likes to get sushi with us. In fact I'm taking her today for her birthday!
10). She has great style
11). She literally almost throws-up when we do the "we're going to sizzler dance" she hates it!
12). She was my hang out buddy while Dallan was on a mission for 2 years and I felt like my life was over
13). She's always been there for me
14). She thinks I'm hilarious and it makes me feel good
15). She gives the best Relief Society Lessons
16). She let Dallan and I live in the casita when we got married free of charge
17). We like to call her the mother to the world because she is willing to help like Mom would to anyone who needs it
18). She taught me "the people that are the hardest to love are the ones that need it the most" which has helped me to be kinder to everyone
19). She is gorgeous
20). She is the most kind, loving, giving, open minded, honest and strong.
21). I was only going to do 20 but another coin phrase I love/hate is "Is it praiseworthy or of good report?"

I love you mom! I know you won't see this but everyone else will and know why I love you and why they should!

Luh you gurl!!!!
