Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday MOM! She turns 60 today and I wanted to dedicate this post to her. So here are some messages from her 5 kids, 3 son-in-laws, and 13 grandkids! We are going to present it to her tonight at her b-day party, on the TV (if dad hooks it up for us!) Can't wait!

BROWN FAMILY

 

From Krystal:

Happy Birthday to my wonderful mother! I am so grateful to have been born into your home and been taught by your example. We were taught in the morning as children with things like Devotional that showed us the importance of scriptures and prayer and church songs. We were also taught by the things you didn't say out loud, but did everyday. Our home was clean and dinner was always a family event. I appreciate the structure you offered with chores and homework, and I even more enjoyed the unstructured time. When you would play Barbies with me, or do rock and sing on the rocking loveseat. I learned so many Hymns and primary songs, and I love them. We sang the fun songs, too and they made lasting memories. You made lunch for our Dad every morning and kissed him openly in front of us when he would come home. We knew how important your celestial marriage is to you. At Christmas you always had things made near the doorway to give away as reciprocal presents when gifts arrived to our family. I thought that was so great! Your hands are always busy in doing or making good things. As an adult you have become more than just my mother, who helps watch my children and offers wisdom when I need it, you are a beloved friend. I am glad you have learned so much about health, and hope it affords you many many healthy years with Daddy and with us and your grandchildren. I love you so much! I am proud to be your daughter and hope your Birthday and the coming year are incredible!!

love, Krystal

Grandma, I like it when you rock & sing with us and read us books. I love going to your pool to swim, to swing on the swings and slide down your slide. It was really fun to slide on the slip and slide this summer.

SEAL FAMILY

 

 

From Michelle:

Dear mom, you are one of my greatest friends! You are such a good person; I know that  you love each of your children and grandchildren so much! I appreciate that you invite all of us over on Wednesday's to spend the afternoon with you. I look up to you in many ways. You are such a good example in the gospel, you have a really fun personality, you love dad so much and plan such fun dates and trips, concerts, plays and festivals with him. You raised us each so well, and it's because you cared so much and worked so hard with us while we were children. Thank you for all of the times you have been there for me when I have needed you. And thank you for being such a giving person. I love you so incredibly much!

Love, Michelle

 

 

From Justin:

Happy Birthday Connie! I'm sorry that I had to work during your party. I hope you enjoy the chocolate cake that Caleb made you. Thanks for hosting so many wonderful family get togethers! And thank you for all of the ways you helped Michelle while she was so sick. I know it wasn't easy, but it was so nice to have some help. You've been a great mother-in-law.

Love, Justin

 

 

From Caleb:

I love that you invite me to your house and I get to play with the other grandkids. I am sad when I can't come on Wednesday's because of school. I remember when you would come to my house, sit me on your lap and sing songs that you made up about my favorite stuffed animals. I really love you Gromma!

Love, Caleb

From Cindy:

"Mom has influenced my life in every way. Because of her, I am raising my children in the gospel. Because of her, I have a true testimony of the church, of our prophet, of the Book of Mormon, and of the atonement of Jesus Christ. I admire her relationship with the Savior, and don't know anyone else with such great gifts of inspiration and revelation. I also appreciate how much she cares about my family and my children. She is so sweet with my kids; I want to be a cute grandma just like her. Love you, Mom!"
