HaPpY 81sT. bIrThDaY tO mY fAvOrItE dArLiNg MoM!

We just got back from the Happiest Place on Earth!

No, not Disneyland

(but we got to go there too.)

We got to go to Grandma's

and join in a surprise 81st. birthday party for her!

Perhaps you'd like to see some photos

of her throughout her life.

This is she and her older brother.

She had red hair and lots of freckles.

This is she and the same brother

before he went off to war.

I'm still wondering who's she with here

and where did she get that 2-piece swimsuit!???

How about a few glamour shots?

Here's one on Mom and Dad's wedding day at the Manti Temple.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

We certainly think the world of YOU!

She is the most wonderful woman that I know.

(I hope someday to become just like her!)

P.S. 'Want to see some more pictures from L.A.?

We were lucky enough to go to the Los Angeles Temple to do some baptisms.

Here's a before.

And here's two afters:
Also, Disneyland was fun (thanks to Mom!)

Here's Splash Mountain.
(Note N8's excitement for the ride.)

Big Thunder Mountain's always great!

The Autopia is a must.

Everyone needs a quick visit to It's a Small World

and the Enchanted Tiki Room.

The Haunted House is far too scary!

Indiana Jones is my current favorite!

Stay tuned next week for....

Return From YW Camp

and

Chels turns 14!
