{Feel free to sing along with me....}
Back then she was nothin' but knees and elbows
Golly did she grow up fast
She's got her daddy's money (it's just part of the song..)
Her mama's good looks
More laughs than a stack of comic books
A wild imagination
A college education (well kinda)
Add it all up it's a deadly combination (I am gonna be dead from posting this)
She's a good bass fisher
A dynamite kisser
Country as a turnip green (yeah.. I really have no clue what that means!)
She's got her daddy's money, Her mama's good looks,
And look who just turned FIFTY:
I have the best mom in the whole entire world & November 21st is her birthday!
My mom makes FIFTY look so good!
I want to share a couple quick things I love about my mom...
*My mom is the best example to me...
* She has always loved to go to lunch with her friends...
* She is the best sister and daughter...
* Grandma VICKI is the best grandma!!...
* She is so pretty, always has been.. (btw- she has the longest lashes)....
* She is such a good friend to everyone!!...
(some of her high school girl friends)
* She loves to travel, and has done LOTS of it, too ....
* My mom HATES camping, but she has always been such a sport about it anyway! ...
* She loves her hot baths at night & then PJ time.. & of course all of her jammies are so cute! ... (When Ellie was a baby, she loved every time my mom would put on her silky polka dots!)
* Even though my mom was unable to be an athlete, she was always the biggest ATHLETIC SUPPORTER! (From Pop Warner, softball, & all the years of cheering! ) I know she will be such an athlete, or dancer, or whatever in heaven.
* Vicki LOVES shopping... but most of all she LOVES the Orange County SWAP MEET!!!...
* My mom has always been so inspiring in every church calling she has had.
(This was some Young Women {Georganne & Georgette} from a long time ago that became baptised!)...
* My mom comes a fun & crazy family! She loves to have girls trips to Newport with everyone!...
* My mom is such a hard worker. She supported and helped with MAUI WOWI events, she helps us out so much with She's Got It All, and she does so much still as a mom, wife & grandma.
Here's a picture of her & Fran back when they worked at KRP together. I know it must have been really hard to go to work while my sisters & I were growing up, but she did it.
Memory Lane:My mom's 30th b-day:
Her 40th Surprise B-Day party:
And this past Saturday, we surprised her at her favorite Mexican stop...
MATTA'S!
I hope I can look 1/2 that good when I turn 50!
I am so thankful to have her as my mom.
She is always happy, so super friendly, so cute, so in style, and always full of laughs!
She inspires me in everything from cooking, being crafty, decorating, or just being a mom.
She is so fun, funny, and we always have a blast when we are together.
She is so spiritual & I know I could go to her for anything.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER KNOW.
Thank you so much for everything you have always done for me.
You truly are an angel.

ditto to everything you said! Mom is the best.
Wow how cute is your mom! I loved looking at all those pics. Your mom was one of my MOST favorite YW leaders. She had the best lessons, best testimony, and was such a positive influence on me! Happy Birthday Vicki!!! Lisa McFarland Bitter
