Double Trouble.

My all time fav picture.
{sorry for the picture quality}

It was my mom and my aunts' birthday on Monday (they are twins btw ;) We went out to dinner on Friday to celebrate at Yard House, yumm! I have always been so close not only to my mom but also my Aunt Row {real name: Rose} I've been calling her that since I can remember. Actually, I think I called her Rowie more when I was little but it has evolved into Row, anyway, to make a long story long blehh. I have some old pictures of them and I just love them and always have, so I wanted to post a little something about them because both of them are such a huge part of my life. Row is like a mom to me, always has been. She's the comedian, she's the one that makes our crazy family not so crazy at times. She's been right beside me during every major event or accomplishment in my life; the birth of my children, my graduation, my wedding, garage sales ;)

Aunt Row and My Mom

Looks like their 5th birthday, with my Granny!

 I'm just glad that I get to have her in my life because it definitely wouldn't be the same without her in it!

 Last but not least, baby B... My mom, Effie, formally known as Ethel. Her and my aunt are about as close as two people could be. They are constantly laughing and that is the one thing I will always remember about the two of them. The do have different personalities but I guess that's why they get along so well, they balance each other out. My mom and me have always been close as well, but we definitely have highs and we have lows. We are extremely different people. But over the years I think we are learning from each other. She has a never ending love, that I admire. She's always been there for me whenever I need her and over the past few months I have needed her more than ever. She puts her family above anything else and I couldn't imagine this world without her as my mother. She has been so great lately helping get me through all this Cancer stuff. She literally has my kids all day for days and does it with a smile on her face. Both of these two make my life better and I just want to thank them for getting me through. I'm sure you both never thought bratty little Alex would be where she is today ;) Happy Birthday Mom and Rowie!! Love you both :)

Birthday Dinner!
They are goning to kill me once they see that I posted this picture of them,
but this is just them, captured their relationship!

PS- Yes, I have bangs now. I guess you could call it a quarter life crisis, but can you blame me?!?
