60 looks good on her!

On the 29th, my sisters and I helped my

dad throw a huge 60th birthday bash for

my mom. All together, I think we had around

85 people come to honor this beautiful lady!

My dad rented out the Community Center (which

is brand new and totally gorgeous) and had it

catered. Thank goodness! My sisters and

I had a hard enough time planning decorations

from 3 different states (UT, AZ, & CA. :0)
The Southern California weather was

wonderful! We all wore black shirts and

jeans and had our pictures taken by

a local photographer at a park before

the party...just to add to our stress.

I love family! My moms brother Randy, my

Aunt Cheryl, & my moms baby sister Tammy were

all there to add to the fun. We are one wild

and crazy bunch...I wouldn't trade it for the world!!!

Our cake lady fell through at the last minute

so we improvised. Amy made a three layer

cake that was delicious. I got the easy job of

rolling out the fondant to make polka dots.

Cute, but not quite professional. Luckily,

the catering place provided pies for dessert

so people had options. :0) I will say,

Amy's cake was delicious!!!

My mom has amazing friends (Rae & Melody).

She is a real example to me. I regret not

living closer to her. As I type this on her computer

she is laying in her bed sick with the flu. :0( I'm

sad to leave today and drive back home to Arizona.

Even though my parents are in a new house, I

still consider this my home. I am one lucky girl!

I love you, Mom!!!
