Who is Jamie, you ask??!!  Jamie is my all too amazing SIL who’s birthday just happens to be TODAY!!  Why do I love Jamie so much?  Not just because we’re family, but because she is a beyond amazing woman!  Here are some of the many reasons I LOVE JAMIE!!

 

My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE her.

She is so much fun for them and is always coming up with fun activities for them to do.

She takes them out for birthday celebrations.

She offers to babysit ALL the time!

She offers to take them OVERNIGHT!  (And then spoils them rotten!)

She always has someone’s kids at her home because they needed a break or weren’t feeling well.  She always gives of her time.

She calls and offers to come and paint a room or to help you get organized, just because she loves you.

My computer room looks amazing thanks to her.

She’s SO SO SO funny….(and there are old dance videos from her teens to prove it)

She’s spontaneous and not afraid to try anything!

DSC_5950She’ll dress up with me and do silly/awesome dance routines….and then drive to other people’s houses to perform them….(this was this year)

She’ll go out with me on cold December nights in Santa hats and decorate people’s doors with silly poems and lots of scotch tape and laugh till we can’t breathe when we get caught…..

She throws a kickin’ party!! (Check out the Redneck birthday party she threw for her husband! – somehow I always end up dressed up funny when she’s around!)DSC_3673[7] DSC_3589[5]

She’s Beautiful!

She always is complimenting others and making them feel great!

She’s a fabulous listener.

She’s appreciative.

She’s a righteous wife and mother!

She makes REALLY REALLY cute kids.  (Smart, too!)

She’s ALWAYS there when I need her (getting ready for a garage sale, cleaning out my attic, painting my kitchen, organizing my computer room, watching my kids, giving me a hug, making me laugh…..)

She’s so creative!

She makes some of the best desserts EVER!

She loves to order Papa Johns! :)

Today’s her birthday and she spent all week serving others!

Okay, so these are just  a FEW of the millions of reason BUT I just wanted Jamie to know that I love her and wish her a very happy Birthday!! YOU ROCK!
