guess who's birthday it is???
Kathalyn "Kit" Rowley Kartchner, that's who.
her dad was in the Navy so she was a world traveler growing up...
but spent most of her days in the LBC... Long Beach, CA
she made all her own clothes (and later all her kids' clothes too)
which is why she was such a fashionista...
she met my dad at BYU where she was going to school. she is sort of a genius, and was the 1st woman to receive the Hinckley Scholarship. she speaks French, she is amazing at painting, sketching, writing, poetry, singing, harp, piano, flute, wake-surfing and can sew just about anything you want.
my mom is the definition of a life-long learner. she is constantly educating herself, reading, studying and researching and sharing said education with those around her.
she gave her scholarship up when she became "with child" with my brother chad.
and was a MOTHER ever since.
i am however, not grateful for the 10 pound baby gene.

she continues to be an amazing nurturer to her 6 kids, 3 kids-in-law, and soon to be 4 grandkids. (i'm pretty sure she loves russ more than me, but i'm okay with it.)
they love "GiGi" or "Gama"
they love "GiGi" or "Gama"
my mom has taught me so many things...
to love learning
to forgive
to rely on the Lord
to be grateful
diets don't work
to put family and my covenants first no matter what
to cool my jets... her favorite threat.
to dance even if you don't got the moves
to never be the first to let go of a hug
to respect and enjoy nature
to be loyal
can't wait to see how crazy you get in the next 50 years...
i love you mom!

Your mom is so pretty!
Dear dear dear Emily-- I love you to pieces! Hopefully my willingness to unabashedly dance in the kitchen, despite my lack of co-ordination and training, will give you wings. . . permission to do all the things your lil' heart desires. . . no matter WHO may scoff or laugh!
The next 50 are going to be fantabulous. . . I am looking forward to millions of magical moments with you and billions of blessings with your babies
(prego or not right now) in the years to come! Thanks for the loving words. . . . Mom
