Happy 60th MOM!

My beautiful, loving, inspirational, funny, talented,
bright light in my life, mother had her 60th birthday!
My mom is one of the greatest people I know, and I have
learned so much from her in the almost 30 years that I
have been blessed to have her in my life.
My sisters and I decided to throw her a fun 60's b-day!
We thought of some of the things that remind us of her such as
snickers bars, cinnamon bears, jelly beans(easter),
pens(she is always writing something),
water balloons for all the fun she always has with us
and decorated my house with 60 of a lot of things that remind us of her.
My favorite part of the night was we all
came up with $60 in one dollar bills and attached
questions on them. We each came up with 10 questions
and she had to go through and answer them.
It was so great!!
I learned more about my mom in 1 hour
than I havealmost her whole life.
It was a lot of Fun and I loved learning
60 new things about her!!!
All the kids sang Happy Birthday "Cha-Cha style"

All of the kids made a garden stone for her yard
with their handprints on them


One of the nights events was allowing my mom to
have 60 WATER balloons to launch at all the kids!!
She has determined this is a new tradition she LOVED it!




I loved alis' face as she was nailed!!!


My mom loves having balloon launches.
We have balloon launches
to celebrate whatever. So in honor of her,
we all wrote something we
love about her and attached them to YELLOW balloons!
She loves Yellow!
Hence her nick name is "Grandma SUNNY"



It was really fun, and made her SO happy@

The fam!! Minus Heather and Jon and Kate!!
We missed you guys!!
