a big happy birthday to you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE 2ND LADY FROM THE LEFT!




















today is ryan's mom's birthday! we hope she has a wonderful day. she is one cute girl, don't you think? she has the best laugh and biggest smile! and did i mention her heart? she has the biggest heart!
ryan's mom is such a loving, kind, thoughtful, gentle, sensitive person. really, she shows such love to everyone, but especially her family. she is so accepting of all of us "new" children (in laws) and shows us that we are just as loved as the children we married.
she's an amazing grandmother and can sit and play with the kids for hours. she is so much fun and always gets the kids going on a project. i'll never forget the first time we left afton with her while ryan and i left town...when we returned i found that she had bought scissors for afton and had taught her to use them. i don't think afton was quite 2 years old. i must have looked a tiny bit shocked, because jan assured me afton had done a great job and had been very careful, etc. but she taught me a good lesson...let your kids try new things.
afton definitely has the hulse project gene, as you have seen shown on this blog many times! i think it all started with this crazy lady!
jan also loves to come up with all kinds of reasons for us to get together. she also bribes us with airline tickets to get us together. let's just say that we're easily bribed, because we almost always agree to meet up.
besides all of these great things, she is an amazing mother-in-law. she has shown me so much love and helped me so many times when i really needed it. she is wonderful and i love her.
we hope you have a great birthday!!!!!
