My mom LeeAnn, strongly dislikes having her picture taken which is silly ~ she thinks she's not photogenic or picture worthy. I strongly beg to differ. I love my mom very much! She is one of my best friends. She is beautiful, intelligent, determined, gracious, a good listener, funny, a wonderful peacemaker/problem solver and a fabulous grandma to my kids. I feel very blessed to be her daughter! Happy Birthday MOM!! Photos Top to Bottom.....

5. Don't hate me for this one mom! Someone called my mom's name at a ward picnic, she turned around and this was the result. I smile everytime I look at this photo. And I also noticed, mom, that you stole my shirt and belt out of my closet that day.

Thank you, Kim. If I have to be exposed in pictures at least you have said it's not my favorite thing. In my mind I have beautiful, straight teeth and a smile that is beguiling and not face engulfing. But more importantly, thank you for the kind words. I have always been very grateful to be your mom, though throughout most of your growing up it felt like I was you sister as well. And if I have to be 63 years old I am grateful that for 40 of those years you've been an integral part. I love you!
