Stuff That Makes Us Hillarys: Happy Birthday MATT!

...in the beginning...

We are the Hillary family. I can't actually claim all of us to be Hillarys, we've meshed with the Stimpsons, the Doxstaders, the Merrimans, and the Lowreys - but the more you hang around us the more we kind of rub off on you, and poof - you become a Hillary. Which, after reading some of the things that we do might sound like a pretty frightening thing. The disclaimer is that I cannot embarrass any of my children, and I promised. Then I uncrossed my fingers. We love the following people in our family.... Del & Nicole, Matt & Bethany & Drew, Em, and the Noahman Ashley & Mike and Baby Mackadamia and soon to be..., Mandy & Ryan, J-man and Dimples, and Ryan and Katie - yes we own two Ryans! Not pictured: Zoey the German Shephard, Opi the newly adopted puppy, BG & Baby Red the Macaws (the latter two Zoey would eat if put in the same picture). Welcome to our Blog. Don't take us too seriously.... life is meant to have a never ending, bottomless tub of buttered popcorn and laughter.

Happy Birthday MATT!

Holy cow! This week I'm a grandma of a one week old, Andrew, and a mom of a 24 year old! Matt and Andrew chose a wonderful month to be born. My oldest son MaeMae's birthday was February 23rd. Matt has been a wonderful son, grandson, big brother, son-in-law, husband, friend, missionary warrior, and now daddy himself. There is nothing sweeter than looking at your child and seeing the man you dreamed he would be. Matt has always given his whole heart to all that he loves and believes in. I have always been thankful for the day that he made Bethany a part of our family. (I loved her way before they were married!!) Then he goes and gives our family the next generation of Hillary's and an exceptionally handsome grandson! I am proud of you Matt in everyway - in all you do. Happy Birthday Matt! Yo mommason loves you! I'll give you the 5 year deal in Washington - then you need to come back.... my heart will miss yours.
