Happy Birthday Kathy!!!



Kathy is the best because:

  • she chewed out a police officer when he came to accuse Tyler of some trouble making
  • she has guns like Popeye the Sailor Man
  • she is a cancer survivor 
  • she went back to school to become a nurse when she was in her thirties 
  • she thinks her dogs are her babies 
  • she suffered through morning sickness for 9 months while pregnant with Tyler
  • she gardens with determination 
  • she lugged a pack n play across the world for us
  • she always tries to battle Tyler's stubborn behavior... and never sees her failure as defeat 
  • she was not so sure if she was ready for Tyler to fall in love at the age of 17... but she soon grew to love me as a daughter  
  • she knows what it is like to be the youngest of five
  • she would do anything and everything to take care of her family 
Happy Birthday Kathy, We Miss You!

Happy Birthday, Kathy! I wish I could give you a day off today so that you could stay inside and keep warm. Have a great day.

Kelly & Tyler - Thank you for your comments. I do love you both and miss you too. The thing about Tyler's stubborn behavior is always a challenge for me but I see it more as my job to keep knocking because life will always challenge him in one way or another. I just give him a viewpoint to consider or not- it's up to him to make the right choice and do the right thing. Maybe someday when Parker is just like his Daddy, Tyler will look back and remember. I can't wait to have you guys home! Thanks again for the birthday wishes.
