The Big One

No, seriously, she does not even look near what she is going to be tomorrow. So young, so hip, so AWESOME! Happy birthday MOM! You are pretty much THEE coolest person on the planet.

My mom read Zane Grey practically before she could walk!
She was so into Native American stuff, in grade school she tried to wash her hair with a yucka plant.

My mom has perfect water skiing form! Lake Powell is her favorite place on earth.

My mom can sing the harmony to any tune. She and her sister still perform in the Stirland family show.

My mom is the most adventurous woman I know. She loves snakes and pigs.

My Mom could still fit into this outfit she wore in Japan (circa 1988).

In fact, I'm pretty sure this is the size she wore when she was 9 months pregnant.

Did you know my mom was the stand in for Jane Fonda? Yep! She's practically famous (and ten times more fabulous than Fonda might I add).

My mom had pigtails the day she was born...and her hair only got thicker.

My mom was the best Annie Oakley ever!

My mom was BWOC at Dixie College back in '79.
