Patty (my mom) had a very important birthday this year. Her only wish was to go to New York during fashion week. This was a fun excuse for all the girls to get together, and have one last party before me and my sister Maddie have our babes. We didn't get to go to any of the fashion shows, but we had a lot of fun getting all dolled up, pretending to be models (if there were a midget/pregnancy line I know they would have hired me...totally kidding :), and watching the beautiful people swarm in and out of the buildings. My mom saw Gwen Stefani, which was very exciting, and we saw some other famous celebs from The City, One Tree Hill, and America's Next Top Model. I was in heaven, literally. I don't know that I have ever loved anything more, and we decided we're going to make this a yearly tradition (love you Matt, wish you liked fashion).
Pat looked so hip that some fashionistas asked to interview her about her opinions on the latest styles. She gave some very funny answers. We hope it makes her famous.
A pathetic attempt at modeling.On her actual birthday we threw a little surprise party at one of her favorite restaurants. She was really surprised to see my sister Erin and her kids there, who live in Boise. It was the first successful surprise party I'd personally ever been a part of. It was quite fun.
We love you, Pat! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
