if i could pick one word to describe my mother it would be 'charitable'. she is always looking for ways to serve others and usually that means her children. i love my momma so much and i am very grateful to be with her on her special day.
happy birthday mom, i love you.
*i'm taking one for the team with the top picture. if you are wondering who the child at left is who resembles
'jabba the hut'...it's me. let's just hope it gives you a good laugh. yikes.

The second I saw that picture of you on my Google Reader, I started cracking up so hard that Rob had to come over and see what was so funny. And as soon as he did, he was laughing just as hard. You are a champ, Cia. And I love your mom's sweatshirt in that first picture. So classic.
HAHAHAHAHA! That first pic is classic. The second one is great too. Who knows where that was taken? I do.
I can't not comment with a picture of you like that! And somehow it manages to still be cute!
I'm not going to lie... Joel and I definitely had a good laugh, but we all know that you were (and are) the cutest!
Happy Birthday Sweet Mama Julia... give her a squeeze from me.
Ummmm, I totally did laugh out loud, and then Dave joined me. You totally make up for it in every way now! Happy Birthday to Julia, and I agree, she is VERY charitable!
im in love with your mom. She is like the fun, nice, cool aunt that i never had.
JULIA if youre reading this...HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank you for being a great example to me. You are in a lot of ways what I want to be as a mother. You have raised beautiful people as your children who everyone loves and adores and i just love you.

Oh my gosh. I am laughing and laughing and laughing some more about that top pictures. Still laughing out loud...Still laughing...Still laughing...Now crying I am laughing so hard...
Your mom is amazing. She was so wonderful to watch the kids so we could go do a little shopping and eating when i came to visit. I keep thinking about how i should only eat half sandwiches so i can look like her.
Miss you!
okay, I never look at the blog so here I am having a special moment and lo and behold my eyes lay hold of the most shocking picture of Rocia I believe I've ever seen. I laughed and then was immediately embarrassed gasping out loud.--I mean was she an interesting specimen at that age or what. Dang, poor thing for sure, but I mean...
