Happy Birthday, Mother's Day & Anniversary..TO ME!

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I decided to get married in May-and that is probably the problem-I wasn't thinking. As a result, May ends up being my month! 1st-birthday, mother's day, 12th-anniversary. The last couple of years I have felt bad for Keith having so many things in one month to keep track of, that I give him an idea of something he can do for me that covers all the occasions.
This year, I wanted my wedding ring fixed. After 9 years, the prongs just weren't holding up anymore, so I haven't worn my ring for some time. I have refused to take 4 little boys into a jewelry store to get it fixed on my own. So I made the suggestion. I forgot how much I missed wearing it. Especially now that it looks brand new again! It takes me back and I almost feel newly married again!


No birthday video for me (not making one for myself). Keith got one (I didn't post his, he doesn't like that kind of thing advertised). It was a nice day full of calls or visits from family. Thanks for making my cake, Heather! I thought it would be fun to tell some of the things about me that the kids do in primary.
Q: How many brothers and sisters?
A: 3 brothers, 2 sisters
Q: Who do you want to be like when you grow up?
A: My mom
Q: Favorite color?
A: Green
Q: Favorite food?
A: Rice (yes, just plain rice, maybe with a little soy sauce) or my mom's homemade chicken noodle soup over mashed potatoes.
Q: Favorite thing to do?
A: Visit with Keith.
Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: A good mom.
Q: Favorite Scripture story?
A: Helaman and the 2000 Stripling Warriors. I always have loved this story and it means more to me now that I have all boys, I just hope I can teach them the way the 2000 warriors' mothers did.
Q: Favorite subject in school?
A: Business classes/Word Processing
Q: Strangest food you ever ate?
A: Spaghetti at a restaurant in Ecuador-its wasn't spaghetti like we know it.
Q: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
A: Put it in the family mission fund.

Happy Birthday!! Or I guess I should say: Happy "Belated" Birthday. Hope it was a good one. Sounds like it was!

It was fun "catching up" on all your recent posts. That is crazy about the hives and your baby! Hopefully they will clear up soon! And hopefully he'll not have an allergy to milk when he's older. I'm glad you got your wedding ring fixed, it makes such a difference when you can't wear it for a while, it makes you more greatful! ;)

Just wanted to wish you a happy (late) birthday, mother's day and anniversary!!! We thought of you on the 12th, but life was crazy for us, and I never got you called. Sorry! I've really enjoyed catching up with you and the kids on the blog.
