Happy Birthday, MOM!

Mom, Beth, Grandma celebrates a birthday today!What a special lady! We are her biggest fans! She has been the ONLY person to visit us everywhere we have lived! On top of that, she has been the first family member to meet both Remi and Marshall.
She was one of the two that attended our wedding!
She came to San Diego the first chance she got!
We have strolled the beaches...
Taken flight...
Carved a pumpkin or two in Pueblo...
She has inspected Keith's bird...
Held Mr. Remi for the first time...
Admired the beauty of a simple flower...
Explored space...
Witnessed a rodeo Houston-style...
Tried her hand at Rock Band...
And cared for Remi when this little nugget came along...
I am about the luckiest person alive to have her as a mother-in-law! She has fed us, housed us on numerous occasions, diapered the boys, spoiled us with creative gifts, cared for us when sick, lifted our spirits, given great advice, provided the most comfortable of places to lay our heads, made us laugh and much, much more. The reason I love her the most is because she has taught us to appreciate the simplest things in life, whether it be a bright red cardinal on the back porch, a plant with colorful blooms, or a quiet road trip through the country.
We are luck lucky LUCKY to have you in our lives.

WE LOVE YOU!
