HaPPy BiRtHdaY MOM !!!

Happy Birthday Mom!(From the Kids and Dad)
For one of your gifts we each wrote seven things we absolutely love about you we thought we would do seven things because there are seven members in our family and 7 times 6(dad,allison,dallin,dewitt,me,and polly) is 42 but you are turning a number less, but oh well you will get a bonus.

(p.s. there is a special surprise,I wrote dallin about a month ago and asked him to list seven things he loves about you, of course he replied and that is why I wouldn't let you look at the email from him)

Dad wrote:

1) Rebecca always lets me eat all of my desert and then part of hers.  2) Rebecca doesn't get bugged when I stick around the house and don't go to work.  3) For her birthday, Rebecca really likes silly notes much more than very expensive presents.  4) When we have to wake up early, I never have to set my alarm because Rebecca is always awake on time.  5)  When I have been working really hard on my project next door, Rebecca has brought me some really good treats.  6) Rebecca will almost always ignore her phone calls when I am around.  7) Rebecca likes to hold my hand all the time.

The LMS FRED is what I came up with in my 7 things I love about mom list and it goes like this:
L- Love, I know you love us mom and we can feel it through your attitude and the way you treat us. I know it now and I knew it then.
M- Motivation, you are our motivator in all that we do you help us and motivate us to do it better.
S- Support, you are the support for our family and for us individually in everything that we do. I have especially felt this now that I need it most.

F- Food, I love and miss your wonderful delicious food. The Argentines are great cooks, but no one cooks like my momma. La verdad!
R- Relationship, not only your relationship with us, but your example of a relationship between you and Dad. How lucky am I, I have discovered to have parents with a functioning    loving relationship.
E- Energy, you are untiring and relentless. You may not feel like it, but you do, because you are the one we relie on Mamma.
D- Dedication, I love your dedication to two things: the Gospel and your family. There is nothing more important to you then those two things and I love and thank you for that.

you do it all and I am glad to have a Momma like you, no not like you, I am glad to have YOU.
