~~Happy Birthday to Kelly~~


Well 26 years ago this guy made his appearance into the world!!
He was loved and oogled by his big brother and three sisters~~oh
did I mentioned probably spoiled as well! ~~

As people speak about the number of things they like about
a particular person, I think I will take liberty and mention at least
a few memories or traits Kelly has that I love about him!

1) His laugh: he usually teases you with such good nature, that
when he laughs, you do too!
2) His Testimony of the Gospel: Reading Kelly's letters when he
served a mission was like a special gift to the soul...He grew and
helped you see the Gospel as such a simple plan of joy, nothing less.
3) His love for Stacey & Pearl: Two brown-eyed girls in his
life mean everything to him! He lights up when they come into
the room!
4) His passion for BYU football, basketball and other sports
in that order...
5) His hard work and positive attitude never cease to impress me!
6) His level-thinking and helping me among others to "calm down and
take a breath, mom...."
7) His sincere, genuine interest in great books, great thoughts help to elevate
anyone he talks to.

1) My memories include a spiky-haired toddler in penguin pajamas carrying his bottle
in his teeth, deciding with whom in the house he will sleep tonight.
2) Terrorizing household cats
3) Riding down the hill fearlessly on big wheels with Danny Olsen
4) Dragging 2 x 4 lumber up the hill to add to the growing tree house with Danny Olsen
5) imitating the squeaky dryer
6) finding all my soda pop hiding places
7) first target practice hitting the Tracker windshield
8) his buddies eating pizza and fast foot downstairs in our Condo
9) getting me laughing in church
10) school dances, he was so cute!
11) His patriarchal blessing - amazing
12) Opening his mission call with all of his friends
13) Seeing him come down the escalator after two years!!
14) His love story with Stacey
15) Going to Lorena's
16) his face when Pearl was born
17) his beautiful smile and white teeth!
18) Calling me up at work, pretending to be someone else and then when I fall for it - hilarious laughter!!!

Happy Birthday Kelly, I'm so happy you are my son!
