Happy Birthday!

This week two very important women in my life have birthdays. My mother-in-law's birthday was the 1st of July and my Grandma Jody's birthday is today.

My mother-in-law, Evelyn, is so wonderful! She is kind, giving, thoughtful, and so fun to be with. I have a marvelous time just chatting with her about anything and everything. The picture below is from when she came to help me after I had Elizabeth. She made life so much easier for us. The boys LOVED playing with her. While she was here she not only helped clean and make meals, but she played dinosaurs, cars, made forts, and read book after book after book with my boys... She is very patient and a great example to me. I love her so much and am so glad that I will get to see her in just a couple of weeks!


Today is my Grandma Jody's birthday. She is one of my favorite people! She is friendly, considerate, and so service-oriented. She makes everyone feel at ease instantly and can almost always find a connection with anyone. She is beautiful as well. Many people have told me that they think I look kind of like her and that is one of the highest compliments someone could give me. The picture below is from last summer when she was on a mission with my grandpa in Brazil. They have served four missions already and are still going strong. What wonderful footsteps to hopefully follow in one day. I love you Grandma!

(Can you believe she turns 80 today?!)
