Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday mom!
Mom was born on January 23rd 1938 in Roosevelt, Ut  to John and Cleo Mohlman the oldest child of three kids. Mom has a younger sister and brother, Cheryl lives in Pinesdale Mt. And Johnnie lives in Herriman, Ut mom met my dad at BYU in 1957 and they were married in 1959 a double weeding with my aunt Cheryl and uncle Lewis. Mom and dad had 10. Children and I am the ninth six boys and four girls I being the favorite of them all since I was the baby for five years befor Johnnie arrived.

I love having a big family, I love that my family is super close, we got together tonight to have cake at Kirsten's house she made Apple raisin cake for mom and then made brownies for everyone else. It is fun to get together with anyone who is around. There are now 50 grandchildren and with a little announcement  from Sarah tonight it might make that number change to 51 by the end of Septembere. We hope.

Mom,
Wow! There is a lot I could say about my mom and I could go on and on about how much she has done for our family and for countless others throughout my life and befor I came along. But I do want her to know that she has taught me a lot over the years in my life that I have paid attention to, since I haven't always. Sometimes I catch myself sounding just like her,  or thinking that is just what mom would do, or would have done. But a lot of the time I think what would my mom do?
I know that if I needed anything she would do all she could to help me. As she does so often, I am glad that we are closer now not only because she helps me so much, but so that I can go and sit and hang out at there house and just spend time with them.

I am blessed to have amazing parents that have given me everything I have ever needed and taught me so much. I hope that my own kids will want to be around me in my older years and come to celebrate my 75th Birthday with me.

Love you Mom!
