HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! For all you die hard SNL fans this is Sally O'Malley, a hilarious skit they had for a few years. She came out and always said "I can kick, stretch and kick again, I'm 50 years old!!! I though this was PERFECT for my mom who is 50 years old today. My mom looks amazing for being 50 years old and doesn't look old enough to have a daughter who is 26 years old!! She is also alot like Ms. Sally O'Malley, my mom was a "bunny" at Mesa High (that is the best cheerleaders for those who don't know about Mesa High) and she has always been very flexible, she can still do the splits to this day!!!! We had her birthday dinner last night so here are a few pictures of the fun event!!!!
Sally O'Malley
Abe, Shannie and I made some yummy soup and Sarah went and got these festive bread bowls. Yes they were dyed BRIGHT green and red.
My mom and her 5 pride and joys. Thanks Sarah and Wugs for the cute faces.
My mom is a wonderful Grandma. She helps us out so much!!
This was Amelia going CRAZY with the napkins. We were laughing so hard because she was attacking the napkins and throwing them all around. It was like a mini snow storm with napkins.
My sister and I made my mom these gifts. Sarah made the frames and I made a set of blocks that say Sellards. We also got her a really cute shelf to put them on.
Well mom I hope you know how much we love and appreciate you!!! I hope I look as good as you do when I'm 50 years old!! Here are a few random facts about my mom:
*she can out cook anyone in the kitchen anyday
*all growing up she made everything from scratch- even our Friday night pizza
*she is a little absent minded but was love her for it
*she NEVER yells, seriously to this day I can honestly say she has never yelled at me or any of my sibling for that matter. I wish my kids could say that about me.
*she has a boyfriend named Joe...... Trader Joes that is. We always tease herthat she is at her "boyfriends" because she is always at Trader Joes.
*my mom knows everyones genealogy. Seriously she can meet people and if you tell her your last name she will find a connection to you some how "oh your great great grandpa is my great aunts cousin"
*my mom is more handy than my dad
*she can sew anything and everything
*she had all 5 kids with no epidural, and tried to convince me to do the same. Yeah right. I think she was meant to be a Pioneer. Sewing, cooking from scratch, popping babies out in bushes. Yup she could have done it
*and last but not least. She has been the rock in our family!!! She has a strong testimony and has always taught us what was right!! Thanks mom you are an amazing example to me!!

I LOVE your Mom!! I have personally witnessed the splits... she was pulling weeds, dusted off her JEANS, and then went straight into the splits right there on the side walk. AMAZING! :)
I am amazed at how she makes everything from scratch and CHOOSE to go without an epidural for all 5. She would have been an AWESOME pioneer, I agree, not to mention that she'd probably have crossed the plains with a smile too. :)
Happy 50th Kathleen, you ROCK!
You look just like your mom oh my goodness! I have a better idea why don't you guys come down here? You have never been to our house and dan doesn't get off till 6 new years eve. I think that would be a blast! I would even make banana discs!!
I LOVED this post! Your mom is truly amazing. I always remember quilts set up in your living room when I was over to play and loved (still love) eating all her delicious food. We always got pancakes or waffles when we spent the night- novel for us! Aunt Kathleen is AMAZING! :)
I always think that is so funny, as a kid I was always jealous of the kids who got to eat Lucky Charms every morning for breakfast and I was stuck eating pancakes, waffles or French toast. What was I thinking =)
Yes, your mom is a HOOT! I think it's funny how all our moms have such different personalities. Her green enchiladas is DA BOMB too. I think she some how skipped a few birthdays cause there is no way she if 50!
Cute and fun, Looks like it was a fun Birthday. Your mom is always so nice. She was a great teacher (I can't remember if she was my primary teacher or young womens) either way great just the same.
Well are you guys going to come?
Your mom is so great! I just love her! You've never heard her yell??!! Wow, she's amazing!
