Happy Birthday Mom!

Today would have been my mom's 84th birthday.

She died On March 31, 1999, and

I still miss her everyday and I always will,

until I see her again.

It was Florence Cluff's funeral and I am afraid I missed it. She was a dear friend and a great influence in my life.

I went to lunch with James at Chili's and then did some shopping at Bath & Body Works. That place is amazing. I was on sensory overload while I was there.

At 3pm this afternoon we attended Rowan's baptism at the Val Vista Lakes stake center in Gilbert. What a special day for Rowan's baptism. Not only was it my mother's birthday but it was the day Darrel was baptized 28 years ago. Life really does come full circle.

Rowan and his friend Nate.

Love these faces!

Rowan was baptized and confirmed by his dad Darrel Kay Lambson. One of the most special parts of the program was Addy and Ruby singing "I Like to Look for Rainbows." Addy has a beautiful voice, and Ruby certainly is not shy. The neat things is that on the way home this evening I saw the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen. It reminded me again about how special this day was. The only way it would have been better is if Jared and his family were here.

I love her hair!

Trina and Darrel had a get together at their house after the baptism. I only had time to grab a brownie and a few bites of watermelon, change my clothes and head for home. James was in such a big hurry and although we weren't traveling together he was helping me put air in my tire before leaving. Here are some pictures I took at the party before I was whisked away.
