HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDEE!!!!

Happy Birthday, Whitney!

We want you to know we love you and your little goombas. Even your big Goomba, Jack! We are so glad he joined our family. You are an absolutely amazing mother and I don't think there is one person in our family who is not in awe of you and all that you are able to accomplish. Rock on, Girlfriend!
So make sure you take a minute to enjoy this the 31st year of your life. You're awesome!

The past re-invented

Today I was organizing my closet when I came across the box I keep my wedding dress in. Out of curiosity to see how well it had been preserved, I pulled it out. It has yellowed some, that was to be expected, but amazingly it was still in pretty good condition.
Emily tried it on and it fit perfectly. I have to tell you, it sure was something to see. She kept saying, "Oh my gosh, Mom, You must have been a stick!". Yes, yes, I did have a figure once. LOL.
Of course, Emily would never consider wearing my wedding dress when she got married. It was, after all, yellow. But also because she said it was "way girlie". She wants to wear something a little more sophisticated. And that is just fine.
This whole adventure got me to thinking about how fast time flies by, and also, how it will not be too long before she will be leaving our home and moving on to her new life and family. She graduates in four years. Holy Crud!
So, we will enjoy the now, not worry about the fast approaching future and have a lot of fun reminiscing, telling old stories of when Mom and Dad were young, skinny, and bright eyed and bushy tailed. Even that old story about the whiplash kiss (Don's first kiss to me) was retold. For the 50th time.

Happy Late Birthday, Peggy!

Oh my gosh....we have no excuse. But we love you Peggy! You are the awesome-est, coolest, goofiest, dramtic-est, funnest, adventure-est, hippest sister/aunt that we know. Long live the Pegster!

Love,

Don, Susan, Ben, Jared, Sam and Emily.
(Your adoring fans)

Happy Birthday!

Hey Peggy!! Glad Whit said something! That way I have a chance to say HAPPY HAPPY Birthday!!!! You and Whitney have been really great to me and I have come to really love you both! All the happiness in the world to you on this, your birthday!
LOVE and HUGS!

Happy Birthday Peggy!

Since the move, I have packed away all my stuff and so don't have any cute photos of Peggy to share but I wanted to say:

Happy Birthday!!!!

I still love you even though you tried to kick me in the leg when you mad at me when we were little. Well, actually, you did kick me in the leg but you sort of missed and it didn't hurt that much.

Happy 20th Birthday, Ben!

This is what he looked like then



Hiking is his favorite!

If you get a chance to give Ben a hard time today, please do! He is no longer a teenager!!

Ben was thrilled to receive his birthday present this morning, which consisted of 6 tickets to Brian Regan at Thanksgiving Point on Aug 18th (if anyone else is going, let's hook up!), the "I walked on the Moon" dvd, the original "Brian Regan Live" CD and a black "Take Luck" t-shirt. I think that does it on all things Brian Regan. But he loved it all.

So if you get a minute to wish him a happy b-day, please do. His cell phone is 386-2356.

Have a great day all and Take Luck!
