Happy Belated Birthday Bethy!


I just realized that I'm a big jerk. I completely forgot to post about the most important day in May, Bethy's birthday. I'd like to think its because I was so excited about Annie and mom coming, but that's no excuse. So happy belated birthday Bethy and here are my top 10 reasons why I love you.

10. You delivered my second child and made it the best experience of my life!

9. You still wanted to be a part of the family even after we left you on a boat by yourself with all our luggage in a strange land.

8. You told the flight attendant on the way to Brazil that she was being rude!

7. You've been skydiving, and since I"m afraid of heights that counts big for me!

6. You have a secret voice that no one in the family can imitate, even though I've heard dad try a few times.

5. You define what is cool in the family. If you don't think its cool no one does.

4. You come up with the best nicknames for everyone, which is why you don't really have one because no one can think of one that's worthy of you!

3. I can never be far from the bathroom when hanging out with you because you make me laugh so hard.

2. You lived with an African tribe for a month after college! That's so cool!

1. You are incredibly selfless and a great mommy.

I love you too, but I came up with the nicknames, not you.
