60

My amazing mother is 60 years old today.  Here's some pictures to celebrate her.  Unfortunately, they're all pictures of pictures, so none of them are the best quality...
Guessing this was high school graduation ~1972

Mom with her Debbie Dolls. 1962?
I'm going to guess this was sometime in the 70's.

Me and Mom 1984  PS Wasn't anyone worried about me falling off the couch!?

I think this was my aunt Kathy's wedding in 1985.
Sun Valley, Idaho 1989

Lagoon 1989
We had a little garden for years. 1989
They have done lots of travelling together.  Hawaii

I don't know what year this was but it was my uncle Steven's wedding.

I think she'd say her family has been her biggest accomplishment. ~1990-91  We're pretty great ;)

~1984-85

1987 or 88

~1988-89

Christmas 2003

HA! This was a Mom + Miss thing at church where you were supposed to dress like the other person. I'm in a running t- shirt and my mom is in overalls and glasses. Probably 1995.
She has run LOTS of marathons, and not just run them, but won them!  She's placed 2nd, 3rd, 4th in her age group MANY times.
St. George Marathon, 1994


Golfing in St. George sometime in the 90's.
 
My mom LOVES Halloween.

She really likes hiking and has gone all over the world to do it.
Titcomb Basin, 8/8/00
Both my parents were Olympic torch bearers for the 2002 SLC Olympics.

Reading Harry Potter. 2003
May 2004, Mother's Day, maybe?
Paris 2007?
 They've done 5 or 6 full Ironman Competitions and didn't even start until they were in their 50s!

I am happy to have such a cool mom to celebrate!

Awe! I love seeing all of these pictures of your cute Mom! Happy Birthday to her! She looks just like you in that second picture down.

Ps. I've been a terrible commenter lately, but I am still faithfully reading every post.:) The tattoo removal one made me shiver. Sounds like it hurts super bad!
