My mother in law sucks.

*Disclaimer* I recently wrote a blog about Zachary being born. My mother in law Anita immediately read it, and inquired why there was no mention of her or photos.  
1. I didn't have any photos of her in the hospital
2. I was already in my head writing this blog about her
3. She is impatient:)


I have been extremely blessed with the gift of a an amazing mother in law. Many people cannot say that. I truly love her, and she is like a mother to me. She is literally one of my closest friends, and without her I would not be able to function. I believe that God knew how much I craved and needed a healthy mother/daughter relationship, and it is one of the best gifts that I could have received. I decided to look through some old photos to share how much of an awesome woman that she is.


For my 30th birthday we all went on a cruise and had a pirate dinner party. She could use come help on her pirate face.

She is the best aunt to all her nieces and nephews. She loves them but not as much as me or her grandchildren:)

The woman bought me a snuggie. Enough said.

She throws a fabulous party. Seriously.

She taught Noah how to take care of a "baby" to prep for Zachary.

I love her so much that I let her wear my Marc Jacobs snow hat. NOW that is love.

She buys Noah ridiculous gifts.

She also makes him cry. I'm kidding-I am sure she is trying to comfort him.:)

She looks amazing bald!

She loves this damn jade dinosaur. She has also taught Noah to love it.

Did I mention that she loves to party?!

Anita has fun wherever she is. She lights up a room with her joy and kindness.

I love the marriage she and Naji have. They truly love each other, and are a great example of marriage.

She will go on train rides all day with Noah.

She will also go on rides with me.

We are true friends and she is stuck with an awesome daughter in law.

She lets us drag her on family adventures.

She treasures every adventure with Noah.

She is a breast cancer survivor! Man-that year sucked.

 She supports us in all of our endeavors.

Did I mention that she buys Noah ridiculous gifts?

 We are a Disney family-She loves to experience the magic with Noah and now Zachary.

 She loves her damn dog Echo. Seriously it's out of control.

Shannon and I love to buy her Christmas gifts that make her cry. It's our goal every year to make her cry. All I got to do is slap a picture on a product and BAM there are tears!

She gives great hugs.

 She recently moved into a house that is just plain stupid. And by stupid I mean amazing. Here is the movie theater, it is Noah's favorite room.

She is a straight up ganster.

Noah loves his grandma so much. If he goes a few days without seeing her he starts to bug me about going to grandma's. They have such a special relationship.

She is super fun to go to Vegas with! The woman is out of control.

She will dance the night away!

She loves her family!

She has the best friends. 

So...Awesome people generally attract awesome people so this means that I am super awesome and Anita lucked out with getting me as a daughter in law. :)
