It's My Mama's Birthday!

My Mom is the bomb-diggity. She's beautiful in person and in spirit! She is genuine, funny, smart, witty, supportive, helpful, generous... I could go on forever.

I considered wearing this wicked-cool dress to the b-day party, but I wasn't sure it was appropriate- I'll let Gisele wear my mom instead!

Even Posh can't get enough of my hot mama

Since we're on the topic, DID YOU KNOW, the day Mom was born:

• Gas was 29 cents a gallon; stamps were 3 cents
• From Here to Eternity won the Best Picture Oscar
• Audrey Hepbur won Best Actress
• What's My Line, Dragnet and I Love Lucy were on TV
• Those Little Green Army Men toys were introduced
• Michael Jackson was born on the same day, five years later
• The average income was $4700 per year
• The average home was $17,000
• "Vaya Con Dios (May God Be With You)" by Les Paul & Mary Ford was the Number One Song that day
  
  Once, my dad called my mom a "Heat-seeking missile" -in church!- referring to her intuition and her ability to know when something's not right, esp. with her kids-
  
  My mom has been Peli's "Second Mom" ... which is actually ironic, now that I think about it, because my brothers call me their Second Mom! She has raised him the last 2 1/2 years, and the three of us are now trying to figure out how to live our lives in our new situations. It's not been easy, but it's a new and exciting phase of all our lives!

My mom is my best friend! She gives great advice, she always makes me laugh, she helps me keep things in perspective. She's a wonderful person and a wonderful mom. I probably can't say it better than her sister Sue said it- to read Sue's sweet tribute, click HERE.

My mom has been a true supporter- of all of us! She's supported my dad and the team, she's supported the boyz in all their ambitions and athletics, she's supported me through alot of wacky times, she's supported her own family members, she's supported her grandkids! With all that supporting, it's no wonder she has a sore neck and headaches all the time...

I LOVE YOU MOM!

HAPPY B-DAY!

I don't know what any of us would do without you...

Thanks to Kami and Mindi from whom I stole this whole idea, and Imagechef and PhotoFunia for the picture fun
