Today is my mom's 50th birthday, this week she's been a little worried about this birthday, but the way I see it, turning 50 just means that you have 50 years of awesome memories and experiences.
I've jam packed some of my mom's memories and experiences into this post so please excuse how picture heavy it is, and Mom, I promise I'm not trying to embarrass you with these pictures, just sharing your life.
Mom, thank you for being my best friend and the best mother possible. You are so kind and caring.

Thank you for all of the sacrifices you have made and all of the support you have given. Banana and I are lucky to have a mom who will love and support us no matter what.

How cute is she?
I know there are many times you and I have butt heads simply by being so similar but I couldn't have asked for more.
I look a little scared, don't I?

Thank you for putting up with all of my craziness, my wacky ideas, and my weird dreams. You have been the best support system I could have asked for.

Thank you for finding the love of your life and creating an awesome family. I know I have said this before but you and Dad are the best example of what a loving couple should be.

Thank you for welcoming Jus into our family with open arms. I am so happy and lucky to have a family that loves Jus as much as I do.

You are the best mom ever and I am so lucky to be able to see you every day. I love how our relationship works and how close we are.

This is such a sweet window into your lives. Happy Birthday, Charity! 50 and fabulous!
What a sweet post!
You are the spitting image of your mom!!!!!!!!
I love looking at old family photos. That picture from 1989, it's almost scary just how much you and your mom look alike! Even closer than twins!
I whole heartedly believe that your parents are just THE COOLEST! i fell in love with them on your series. I hope she had a WONDERFUL birthday & that picture of you all bathing beauties- PRICELESS.
xoxo
