Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Here are some of our favorite things about you. . .

  1. your ultralongcreativeandstrungtogethersignaturesattheendofemails
  2. "go home now, Matt"
  3. "family!" (calling for dinner) and all the yummy meals you have cooked over the years (especially Oblivion Chicken and Oblivion Rolls)
  4. your awesome vacation planning skills (Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump Interpretive Center. . . need I say more?)
  5. feeding Andrew his first bottle of formula
  6. dances/songs to help us memorize passages or spelling words for school ("have thus for so nobly advanced")
  7. jiggified on the mower
  8. all the fun things you find for Andrew ("I come bearing presents!")
  9. standing between me and Matt at the airport when he got home from his mission
  10. c***
  11. choosing the name "Ama" so you didn't have to be called "Grandma"
  12. laughing so hard at your own mother during Balderdash that you cried
  13. all the rides to and from lessons, school, extracurricular activities, friends' houses, etc.
  14. you could tell us from the other room what note we were playing wrong in our piano songs; as much as it drove us crazy, it's still amazing
  15. Your Ellen debut
Love,

Bethany, Matt, and Andrew

Thanks--that was very nice. And most of the pictures were great, too, with the glaring exception of the one in the bottom right-hand corner!

Those are great pictures of you mom! Just remember the bottom-right one made you a star on Ellen.
