Happy Birthday Britni!!











It should probably be a regulation that no one should have to be the first child in a family. However, it would be hard to keep the human population going if this were the case so in the interest of the survival of humanity, some brave spirits have to be the first ones sent to two people who really have no business being parents.


We would like to recognize Britni for actually surviving this ordeal even though her two undeserving parents were particularly inadequate. She not only survived but has managed to turn into a beautiful, talented, loving mother of two of the greatest children ever! Here are some of the greatest things about Britni (the short list):

  • There is never a dull moment when she is around!
  • She is still a mother hen to her brother and sister.
  • She always remembers birthdays!
  • She is a great photographer.
  • She loves to craft! (Definately not something she learned from her mother)
  • She could block out some really manly girls in high school and college basketball.
  • She never forgets her friends and family.
  • You usually don't have to wonder what she is thinking.
  • She doesn't let you take yourself too seriously when you shouldn't be taking yourself too seriously.
  • She can drive a hay truck.
  • As of last year, she can still do a backflip.
  • Even though she is terrified of flying she will get on a plane to visit family and friends.
  • She is a proud TEXAN!
  • Pretty decent snowboarder AND cake decorator!
  • She loves working with the youth!
  • She is proud of and hasn't forgotten her East Texas roots!
  • She is an awesome mother and is willing to sacrifice to give her children the gift of having a mother at home.
  • She has an amazing testimony of her Savior.
  • She couldn't have made her mom and dad more proud of her!
We love you Britni! Happy Birthday!
