Today is the birthday of the lady who stole the heart of my son. And who brought joy into his life...and into ours.
You were a gorgeous bride...........

You make him smile...........
And although his sisters weren't easy to convince....they came to realize you fit into this family like a glove, and now they love you as much as he does................jpg)
Even Crumpet approves..............
You're sweet..................
You're fun loving.............
And you're kind and gentle................
And you're so full of silly that you always make me laugh................
And although I didn't bring you into the world......you are still my precious daughter.....
And I'm so glad my son was smart enough to make the perfect choice.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!!!
I ♥ YOU!

Yes! Happy birthday!!!
She looks like a keeper! I love the fact that she can pose barefoot and in her wedding dress.. my kind of gal!
Happy Birthday, Jessica!
What a gorgeous girl - happy birthday Jessica.
I bet family gatherings round the Crumpet table are such a laugh. You are very lucky nikki - or maybe it isn't luck, maybe you are so lovely that good things and people gravitate towards you
Happy Birthday, Jessica...and you are one lucky little lady to be in the family you have chosen. Oh, Hi Nikki..
Love Ya,
Chris
I guess you could call Jessica your Daughter-in-Love.
What a lovely post, Nikki. And your Jessica is a doll. I love the wedding pictures, the barefoot one is my favorite. Happy Birthday to you Jessica! Kathy
What a wonderful tribute! Happy birthday Jessica ♥
What a sweet and loving birthday gift for Jessica, Nikki. She's so pretty and I know she feels very blessed to have you as her mother-in-law.
Sincerely,
Janie
You are SO sweet. My MIL would never say such about me (but I'm probably not near as sweet as your DIL). I hope that my son finds someone just as wonderful!
I must not be as sweet as your DIL!
Happy Birthday Jessica!
Happy Birthday Jessica!

That was so nice. I hope ( in a very very very long time) that my sons find more of those perfect girls.
Hi Nikki...and Happy Birthday Jessica...it is wonderful to read how much you & your family adore this young lady...your son looks totally in love with her...
;-) Bo
Thanks Everyone!! How could your birthday be anymore complete than by having your birthday on MARDI GRAS!!! Thats right!! And its a full moon!! SO all the crazies will be out! What a way to spend your 25th birthday ;D
I hope she has a great birthday! They look so young! Isn't love great? :O)
Beautiful post, Nikki. Lovely girl, sounds like your son is a pretty smart dude!! Cindy
You've got to be the best MIL ever! Give that wonderful girl an extra kiss. :)
Happy Birthday Jessica! I want a "Jessica" for my sons! And Nikki, I'm sure you are the poster child for being a great MIL!
That is PRECIOUS!!!!! SHe is GORGEOUS & She looks like so much fun!!! I hope she has a WONDERFUL birthday!!!!!! Oh I love their wedding picture in that walkway!! ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!
What a great mother-in-law you are! Happy Birthday to Jessica. I hope her day is full of all the things she loves.
Happy Birthday jessica!
nikki, you are one lucky lady to have scored a cutie like that for you daughter-in-law. When are they going to start giving you cute little grandbabies to spoil?
With a family like yours, SHE'S the lucky one!!!!
Happy Birthday Jessica!
I'm still laughing over that dadgum apron!
Happy Birthday Jessica!
She seems like she fits right in with you, gald she makes your son happy!!!
Awww how sweet of a MIL are you? Happy Birthday Jessica!!
You and Jessica are both very lucky women! I have a wonderful relationship with my mother-in-law, and I couldn't be any more thankful for that. She treats me just the same as her own children. Unfortunately, not every DIL can say that!
Happy birthday, Jessica!
You are just the sweetest and funniest blogger mom-in-law ever!
That was just adorable and she is a very lucky gal to have such a wonderful and funny mom-in-law like you!
;)
Aww that was sweet! And she's lucky her mother-in-law likes her. Trust me! LOL
Wow, very touching.
You're both very fortunate to have each other!
i absolutely love this post. some day it's going to happen to me ... (sigh)
She seems really sweet, glad you like her. The photos are cute :)
Happy Birthday Jessica, I have to ask, how is it having such a fun crazy MIL?! Nikki, it's so wonderful that your son found such a good mate that fits in so well with your family. What a great blessing that is. By the pictures alone she really looks like a fun gal and I love, love, LOVE that picture of her with her train flowing and looking over her shoulder with your son looking at her!! I have to show that to my daughter! I'm wondering where it was taken but my guess was if it was in Utah that it was at the capital. Maybe it was far away but it's gorgeous! What a fun MIL you must be!! LOL! Have a great day. Cindy
Ain't it wonderful to love your dil?I think women of old just thought they weren't suppose to love us...ann
How wonderful!! You must have set a good example so that your son knew what to look for. Happy Birthday Jessica! Sally
She is gorgeous and looks like a blast to be with! You are such an awesome MIL and I'm sure she'll have a fabulous birthday!
Happy birthday to Jessica too! How lucky of her to have a nice mother in law like you and you and your son are just as lucky to have her...Christine
Happy Birthday to Jessica. How wonderful to love her as your own. She is gorgeous and sounds like the perfect fit in your family.
This about made me cry buckets. Happy Birthday Jessica. I will have a daughter in law soon. You give me reasons to be so very excited. Thanks Nikki.
I love that you love your DIL like this!!! How sweet! I want to be that kind of MIL.
Happy Birthday Jessica!
Awww that was so sweet Nikki!
I never would have guessed Thanksgiving Point! That's too far for us. I've seen so many beautiful ones at the Capital but they do seem so cold with all the marble. These of your DIL look warm and just so cozy and beautiful! I bought too many of Brianna's too and was lucky enough to buy the copyright for $100.00! Score!! The photographer was moving away so she was offering that deal to her previous customers. I have one similar to the one of Jessica by the water. Brianna is sticking her toe in and it's just so cute.
Awww...That is so sweet! Great pics. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Jessica!
Since it seems I'm only going to have sons, I hope my future daughter-in-laws complete our family just as Jessica has completed your's.
Happy Birthday to your Jessica...
How lovely that she rounds out the family, I can only hope that when the day comes... my 2 will choose someone that I can say these things about...my son is seeing someone now that I really like, and my daughter is in the dating phase, as I told them both...I want them to kiss many frogs before they find their prince & princess...just don't get warts :) Good motherly advice don't you think ????
Lucky you lucky Jessica...
Great post Nikki,
Kathy :)
Happy Birthday Jessica!!!
This post is so sweet :) :)
Awwwe, Happy Birthday to cute Jessica!! They look very happy ... we pray our sons find this kind of love! She's a lucky litte missy to have married into your family too!!
Debra
Ahh that is a sweet tribute to your favorite D.I.L. I hope Jessica has a very Happy Birthday!!
Beautiful wedding photos.
She is pretty special and wise to have picked Jared for her hubby and you as her M.I.L.!!!
Ginger
What a very sweet tribute! Happy Birthday! She looks like tons of fun! And, what a GREAT MIL you are!!!
She is beautiful! Happy Birthday Jessica! Hugs, Bobbi Jo
She is lovely and looked so pretty on her wedding day!
Happy, happy Birthday gorgeous and fun Jessica!
I think it is a win~win situation for all of you.
Isn't it amazing how you can love your in law kids as your very own? I love it!
Beautiful tribute, Nikki:)
How sweet...your words are a gift to her!
-sandy toe
I am tearing up here!! (Ah.. I do that too often)
This was such a sweet post! Happy birthday!
Monica
You are SO lucky! Really. Blessed more than you can possibly imagine! I wish my soon-to-be-but-not-soon-enough daughter-in-law would fall off the face of the earth. No lie. She needs to just give me the baby and take her crazy a** far, far away.......
Goodness, sorry for the snarkiness! (purely jealous)
Happy Birthday Jessica!!
What a nice post! I'm CERTAIN my MIL feels the same way about me...! (ha!)
What a sweet post :)
Jessica is a beautiful girl... she makes your son happy...
And she has the Crumpet-stamp-of- approval, to boot.
A real live mother in law who really loves her daughter in law! You are both so lucky!
May I post your amazing comment to me my dear? I want to share it so badly. I was overcome with your experience.
hope my boy ends up with this kind of gal, someday.
Hi Nikki, this is the first time I have been without someone in the house to take care of in three weeks. I am loving it. I am so grateful for that help but it didn't give me freedom to get on my computer and visit anytime I wanted to. I missed visiting as much and now I am all about free time. Oh yeah. So much for this.
Your daughter-in-law is a beautiful girl and that is on the inside too. I love your description of her and the photos tell it all. Isn't it wonderful to love the girl your son chooses as his life partner. I am so happy for you.
Happy Birthday wishes to Jessica!
Hugs...Jeanne
I love a woman who loves her daughter in law! That is a gift to any wife. She is darling.
Jared has always been like a brother to me, so I'm glad he got a keeper like Jessica! Happy Birthday Jessica!
OMWord, what a beautiful tribute to a gorgeous, and sounds like perfect, daughter-in-law!
That was so sweet!!!! She's a lucky girl and you're a lucky mom. She seems adorable.
Happy Birthday!!!
-FringeGirl
very sweet
What a lovely post to your daughter-in-law! She is a cutie and funny as well.
I'd say she is happy to have you in her life, also
All of my friends visit you, how in the world have I ever missed your blog..
That won't happen again. I came through great lady Jan...
I will be bwaaacckk!
Awwwww! This is awesome!!!
She's lucky to have you, too.
*sniffle*
:)
Happy Birthday Jessica, I see I am sharing my birthday with a wonderful young lady!!
What a great bunch of photos you have there. HEY ---I recognize THANKSGIVING POINT for some of her brdal shots----am I right. My daughter had her bridals taken there too with all those grape vines. Soooooo gorgeous.
Happy Birthday Jessica! You have a fantastic mother-in-law. I have been so fortunate to have been blessed with TWO great mothers-in-law that loved me like Nikki loves you! Enjoy your day...and Nikki keep enjoying your kids!
♥,Lilly
Happy Birthday, Jessica!
You look like you are real barrel of monkeys!
Peace - Rene
Happy Birthday to Jessica!
What a sweet post you did, she is very lucky to have you for a mother in law!!
The pictures of her are cute, and the wedding pictures of her and your son are beautiful!
I hope my son does as well when he decides to marry!
Tracey
Hope your birthday is truly wonderful!
Your mil is so sweet to write such a beautiful tribute to you.
You both are blessed!
She sounds like the perfect girl. I pray my boys will one day find a girl as perfect as this one sounds.
And I will get my husband to email you how he made the table with legs. He made it in a weekend - and I have no doubt you could do the same!
Happy Birthday!! I visit often but seldom leave a comment. This post really brought tears to my eyes. How lucky you are to have a MIL who will take the time to write such a heartfelt post about her DIL. Trust me when I say, that does not happen often, never in my case. You are very blessed to belong in such a wonderful family who loves you for who you are...and does not want to change you. Blessed! My dear..Blessed!
I have three sons and I often lament not having a daughter (yet, anyway ...)
But then, I'll have at least THREE daughters someday, right?
Love this -
Nikki, what a sweet birthday with to your daughter-in-law. I wish my son would make me as happy as your are by bringing home a sweet girl like Jessica!
Nikki, I think Jessica is pretty darn lucky to have you, too!
Happy Birthday Jessica.
Isn't it great when you get good ones. That was very sweet of you.
Now tell em to get with the babies already. You can go watch like my in laws did. LOL!!! Or I should say OMH! ( OH MY HELL)
Nikki, those wedding pix are absolutely dreamy! They look like they are from a wedding magazine! Of course part of the reason is that this is a beautiful couple. I bet she feels lucky to have you as her m-i-l! So often, is the attitude of the m-i-l rather than the personality of the d-i-l that makes the relationship so strained. Obviously, you have allowed her into your heart, and both of you have benefited from that. Now, on another subject, have you noticed that "Word Verification" quit working on a lot of blogs this week? I'm wondering if you had a hand in that little mishap? A lot of bloggers have turned it off "until they get it fixed". I hope they will forget to turn it back on! laurie
Right off the bat I have to say that Jessica made for a very beautiful bride. I LOVE her dress! It is refreshing to see a dress with sleeves and not sleeveless! Then the barefoot pics are besides being pretty are just too cute! She looks like a a great fit for your family. Hope her birthday was a fun one and she got everything she wished for! ~ Robyn
Oh, Nikkiness! How very sweet! Happy Birthday to your dear Daughter-in-law! So glad she and your son found each other - what a treasure!
Now, my little Nikkiness, your tiny name is going into the pot for my giveaway! Good luck, my funny friend!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
How sweet are you?! They are super cute and may I say they look about 12?!
Beautiful post! Happy birthday to her. I hope to find a guy with a great mother... I want a great mother-in-law! :)
That was so sweet. I have tears in my eyes. Happy Birthday Jessica. You are one lucky girl to have such an amazing mother in law. We should all be so lucky.
How sweet is that? You've got to be the best mother in law ever! And Crumpet the best pet in law :)
Awww...Happy Birthday to the bestest daughta from anotha motha :)
(Ok, back to homework!!!!)
Happy Birthday to her!
She was a BEAUTIFUL BRIDE! That dress.. wowwwy!!!!
I am glad you two are close that is great!
What a sweet post and what beautiful pictures. Happy birthday to her!
Man, this one got the olde waterworks rising!
What a sweetheart mom-in-law she has, I say!
Awwwww! That post gave me such goosebumps and brought (happy) tears to my eyes! You are such a cool MIL! Awesome pictures! She's so stinkin' cute! :)
Happy Birthday Jessica! :)
What a great tribute to your daughter in law! I love those wedding pics, especially the one where he has his leg raised protectively, and the one from behind that shows the beautiful train with the circular shape echoing the roof of the building.
Love the silly pics too! Sounds like she's a perfect fit in your family!
Kady
What a beautiful girl! Happy Birthday!
And by the way, I saw what you wrote on Dana's blog....Meet me in the alley after school!
Happy Birthday Jessica!
Nikki, You're a fantastic MIL!
Hugs to you both! ♥ Diane
Such a sweet tribute to your daughter-in-love! She seems like such a blessing to you and the entire family!
Gosh, I hope I'm luck enough to find, I mean my son's find a great girl like her. I'm going to be picky, I just know it. :-)
What a sweet birthday post. You are a great mother in law!
Wow, I hope she saw this. There is no way my mother inlaw would say this about me. She is not the type. Hard one to deal with. But I think it is wonderful that the whole family embraces her. That is the way it should be. mishelle
A sweet post. She sounds a lovely girl. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
What a wonderful testimony - Happy Birthday!!! Wish you lots and lots more!!
Happy Birthday Jessica!!!! She is beautiful Nikki and I am sure she feels like the blessed one to have been so loved by you...have a great week girl!

Happy B'day (belated) Jessica!
She sounds like you didn't lose a son but gained a daughter!
Happy Birthday to Jessica (belated)
Love, Ann
Awwwwww this is such a beautiful tribute.
Would you adopt me? My own MIL is sadly no longer with us and I never got the chance to meet her, although I hear she was really a lovely woman. This post makes me long for a MIL of my own now. *sigh*
What a great MIL you are!
You must be the world's best Mother in Law! Wow! :-)
Awwwwww I'm pulling out my hanky! I can only wish my MIL felt that way about me! I'd settle for her loathing me gently! LOl! You are both so blessed! Vanna
