Mom

Today is my Mom's 60th birthday. SIXTY! How is my Mom possibly 60 years old?!?

My Mom is alot of really great things, but a few things stand out to me...

She is a wonderful Grandma! She has 7 grandchildren that she adores and would do anything for. Grandma has a tradition of taking the grandkids on "adventures", which they have all loved over the years. She is extrememly thoughtful when it comes to the kids, and my kids are always so happy when they get to visit 'Grandma Wolsey in Utah'!

My Mom is an incredibly dedicated school teacher. She has been a 4th grade teacher for over 20 years and she really, truly cares about every single one of her students. Over the years, my family has seen the countless hours that she spends marking papers, decorating her classroom, mounting artwork, cutting out laminated projects, etc. It is a familiar sight to walk into my Mom's living room & see her watching TV & marking spelling units until really late at night! We might have all complained a little bit about helping her in the classroom, but now, as parents ourselves, we all know we could only wish for a wonderful teacher like Mrs. Wolsey for our children!

My Mom is the most honest person I know. She always tells the truth - Always. My Mom is also very dedicated to her religion. She has always been so faithful in attending church & performing her church callings to the best of her ability - even when they weren't always easy for her.

Over the years my Mom has made so many sacrifices for her family, and she still does. I am still learning to appreciate all that she has done for me, especially as I am now a mother myself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I LOVE YOU!
