Happy Birthday To You And You And You




Today is a busy date for me with Birthday's for people that I know, so here is a quick Happy Birthday to all of them, the first picture is of Q. and Picky in England. It is only Q's Birthday today, the next shot is of C-Bear and the Director, again it is only the Director's Birthday. Finally there is my Peanut whose Birthday is today as well. I spoke or left messages for all of them today and I hope that they all had a great day.

Happy Birthday Dad

Today my dad would have been 73 years old. For some reason this year the thought of his birthday has really bothered me, I have teared up several times these past few days and this is all I can attribute it too. It just seems so unfair that he died when he was 66 years old. A year older than my Grandpa Ivan. When my dad turned 66 we had a small party for him, because he was so excited to have made it past 65, due to the fact his dad didn't, and one of his brothers didn't either. Unfortunately he only made it one more year. It's so crazy to think about, usually if I was in Michigan, I would go out to the cemetery and take a Big Gulp, since this was my dad's favorite there was always one in his truck. My mom thinks its embarrassing to see a Big Gulp, on the headstone. However, we have doing this since the day he died, and even my nephews will ask what kind of pop is it, making sure we got the caffeine free diet coke that Grandpa Pat enjoyed. Since I wasn't able to do this today I think the next time I'm in town I'll get him the Double Super Big Gulp.

Happy Mother's Day

To all the Mother's new and old I hope you had a great day, I spent the day watching people rush in to buy a last minute gift for their mom. It was a little disconcerting to see some people take such a small amount of thought for their mom, however I guess any thought is better than none. My high point of the day was talking to my Peanut, who wished me a Happy Godmother's Day. She is the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world, here is a shot of her with me recently at her sister's baptisim.

Where's My Present

This past weekend while I was in Michigan, I spent time with C-Bear and E., I missed C-Bear's actual Birthday so I gave him his present now, there was no fancy wrapping. The funny part is when I set the present out he came into the room and asked where his present was, we pointed it out and he still didn't get that the bag with the tissue coming out of it was his present. It made the adults in the room giggle anyway here are some pics of him opening his gift.
This is E., I showed you pictures of him before with his Cha Cha's purse, this is his (one of his mother's old ones. I asked him after dinner if I could take a picture of him with his purse and he gladly posed himself in the bottom picture. His mom told him to show the purse in the one below.
I just love this shot and that he did it all on his own! Also, when we went to watch their nightly video we were waiting for the tape to rewind and there was a show on with punk type people on it, they had all colored hair. E., said he wanted painted hair, I asked him what color and he promptly said Magenta...I asked what color that was and he replied it's sort of a purple! Yeah, you got to love a 4 year old that know his fashion and his colors.
