Time to Party Mom!!!

My FAVORITE sister. (my only :) I do love my sister Jolene- she does carry a big burden, not only taking care of her family-- she is taking care of my parents. She is the best. I don't know what any of us kid's would do without Jolene or James-- they both do a lot for our parents.
Rivers--- look how stinkin' cute he is!!!
Here is the birthday girl!!!
Here is Val, a really close up of Val. Kenzie was in charge of the "pics". Cute huh?

Here is mom's book I made for people to sign. It had a lot of old photo's of her growing up. It was fun to see her when she was little, because Ava (rachel's baby) & Rachel, C.J. & I look a lot like my mother.
What a beautiful daughter Kenzie is, and look I am taller than she is. LOL. Really I have heels on and she has flats. She passed me up I think about 4 years ago, the only way I can be taller than her is to wear heels. Grandma & Grandpa asked Kenz to take pictures of the party, so she kept pretty busy- snapping photo's all night. I don't think she minded though because she got to use her Grandpa's real expensive camera-- she has been dropping hints ever since- that she NEEDS a new camera.I like the photo of my baby girl and I. She is at that age, where she doesn't mind getting her picture taken- I have to take advantage of that.
This is my niece Nicole- notice Carinna walking by the camera. There was another photo of Nicki & I taken, but I wanted to put this one on my blog because I actually think the look on C.J's face is kind of funny.There is Baby Ava-- who I forgot to tell everyone a few weeks ago- was modeling one of my onesie's in Norwood, CO and she was spotted by KATIE HOLMES & TOM CRUISE and katie asked my niece Rachel--- "where did you get that outfit.?" my niece replied-- "my aunt makes them." So Katie asked, "is she local?" no, Rachel said, she lives in Phoenix.

Bummer, she didn't have her cell phone with my phone number to give her-- huh????
Look how sweet my two great nephew's are patiently waiting for cake-- (yes- I am old & am a Great Aunt) River's is on the left & Jimmy is on the right.
Carinna absolutely adore's her grandma. I wish that I had the relationship with my grandma at her age-- that she does with my mom. I am very jealous. I think she tells my mom more than she tells me. boo hoo
I love this picture of my parents!!!! look how happy they are!!!Here is the gang! Jolene's family, my family, part of Russ's family & James & Grayson--- Mom & Dad. I wish Dallas & Shelby could have been here & of course the rest of the Hoffman family--

It was fun celebrating mom's 75th birthday!

She had some amazing things said about her & written in her book.

We all love you Eleanor Mae Hoffman!!
