Favorite Quote:

The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.

Mom’s B-day Celebration

February 15th, 2010 by Lauren · 1 Comment

My beautiful, sweet mommy turned 50 years old on Valentine’s Day. We had the best time celebrating her birthday together as a family. Brance prepared his famous salmon recipe (which was delicious). Although as yummy as the dinner was (and boy was it good), the best part was that the men cleaned up after dinner and the girls didn’t have to lift a finger! We all had a good laugh when Grandma Ethel was passing out candy. She had given Haddie a book earlier and wasn’t planning on giving her a bag of candy with her being so small. But Haddie doesn’t miss a thing. She looked up at Grandma Ethel with her big blue eyes, put out her hand and said “Haddie”. She saw that everyone else was getting candy and she wanted some too . She is growing up SO fast! Here are a few pictures from the night.
