double the birthdays = double the fun

so once again, i am late with this post because of my crazy busy life right now. i am super excited about this summer and then coming back out here next fall. next year is going to be awesome!

anyways, april 21 is a very special day.... it is the birthday of two of my most favoritest people in the whole world! my mom and my granddad.

(this is kaycie telling us what sound a cow makes)

i had one of the most amazing childhoods.

i got to know my grandparents.

i think i have said this before, but i know some people that only get to see their grandparents once every couple of years, but i got to see mine just about every day.

i got to have the most amazing meals every sunday evening, i got to learn how to make pies, and i got to watch my granddad turn into putty when his girls came around.

and this is what we have become

i have continued the legacy he started by becoming a third generation captain.

i only hope that my children have the privilege of knowing and loving this great man as well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR OLD GRANDDAD! WE LOVE YOU!

now, onto mom...

i'm not sure that i have the words that could fully convey what i feel for this great woman.

we have had a special connection from day one.

she knows when i am sick, she knows when i am hurting, she knows when i need her to come and save the day.

and she knows all of this without me saying a word.

mothers and daughters have a special bond.

through all the friction comes a bond that can't be broken no matter the time or space between them.

there is nothing more comforting, no matter how old or independent us daughters become, than knowing you have a mother who prays for you, worries for you, and loves you fiercely. best mom ever :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! WE LOVE YOU TOO!
