You know who you are.
The one who mends all our clothes and sews many things when visiting.
The one who will always tell us to go have a night out without the kids when here.
The one who has more patience than should be humanly possible.
The one who makes really really good Mody Rolls.
The one who will stay up really late after kids have gone to bed to talk to us.
The one who lets my kids be kids and play in the dirt, put together hay rides for them, build blocks with them, and takes them on tons of walks.
The one who keeps telling us we are doing a great job as parents even after witnessing a major meltdown from one of our kids followed by a meltdown from me.
The one who is always willing to help in anyway and who thinks that there is nothing better in the world than having all of her kids, their spouses, and all her grandchildren together.
Landon says: He really likes it when you come over
Ethan says: Loves to go on walks or bike rides with you
Mackenzie: Likes when you color with her
So here is a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the one we all love very much.
Jared and Mom (June 2007)

Sorry Teresa was logged on when Mike left that post. It's true we both cried and you are so sweet to publish this post for me. I appreciate your kind and loving words. It means the world to me and the best gift I could get.
Love,
Donna (Grandma Simpson)
Would the real Teresa & Eric please stand up? Or at least respond to the sweet post? I pretty much teared up too. What a sweet and thoughtful post. Happy birthday MOM! Can't wait to get to do the hay rides and all sorts of goodies at Christmas!
