~TODAY'S MY BIRTHDAY!~

Good Morning!
I  have always been one who really looks forward to each one of their BIRTHDAYS, including the one I'm having today! I don't ever let the "age number" drag me down.. cause I live by the 'ole saying, you're only as old as you feel.. Now, there have been those days where I've felt like I was 100 years old, and then other days when I feel like I'm in my 20's.. Just all depends on the day and how I'm feeling! I feel pretty good today so far, which is great!

Yesterday, My husband Dan and our youngest son Daniel and I  went out for my birthday luncheon at Sante Fe Steak House.. Mmmm, the food was sooo good!!  I didn't save any room left  for having any desert.. but, later on during the day Dan and I went to Braum's and picked up a few items plus... we splurged on our ww diets and got each of us one of their  soft serve yogurt ice cream cones.. Oh my goodness, how good that was too!!

Today, Dan and Daniel want to take me out for supper after they get home from each of their jobs...for us to celebrate together on the day of my birthday too..  That is so sweet!!

Our middle son called me on his way to work this morning to wish me a Happy Birthday too... That was so sweet too!!  My daughter Michele will be calling me later on today... as right now, it's still pretty early out California way, and I'm quite sure she's probably still asleep! I know I would be if I were out there right now!

 My family treat me like a little Queen all the time really, but, they do it even more on my BIRTHDAY!! They all are sooo caring and sweet!! Thank You So Much For Loving And Caring For Me.... Dan, Daniel, Jamie AND Michele!!  I Love You All So Very Much!!  ♥♥♥♥

I hope you all had a real nice weekend and you all have a great day today too! Thank you so much  for stopping by and visiting my blog today! You all make my  birthday even all the more special!!

Blessings,
~Lynn

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANIEL!!!

Good Morning!!

I'm dedicating my blogging post today to our youngest son, Daniel James!!

Today is his birthday!! Seems like he should still be little, as all our grown children do.. You all know what I'm saying! Their growing years go by so very fast!! Before you know, you're an empty nester and you sit wondering where all those years went!! I do this with each one of our grown children.. as I'm sure you all have experienced doing this same thing too.

As I sit here pondering over the years that have gone by, I recall how it came about that we told your brother Jamie that WE were pregnant! Your dad and I were shopping at Wal Mart's and just so happened to linger into the maternity section, and Jamie says... why are we looking in here?? Then, it hit him that WE were going to have a baby!! Talk about being excited!! He was jumping up and down all over the place, saying, "Mom's having a baby"!!
I can still hear his voice echoing that phrase!! Michele was very excited too when we told her that WE were having a new baby!!

When the day came for you to be born, Jamie had to wait outside in the waiting room while dad was in the room with me. Your brother must have worn a spot off the carpet walking the floor, waiting for you to be born. After you were born, they had the little blue hat on your head and they pushed the bed over by the window where one could peek into the room, and he got to see both his Mom and new baby brother! Such a grin he had on his face knowing he had a baby brother!! I told Jamie that if we had a boy, we'd name his middle name after Jamie, and if we had a girl, her name would be Danielle, after Michele...
Michele wasn't able to be with us at this time, as she was staying with her real father and his wife and finishing up her senior year at school... How very bad she wanted to be with us at this time though!! She was in Ohio seeing you, Jamie, Dad & I just days after you were born! She was so tickled and loved you right from the very first time she saw you too!!

Gosh, then the years came and went by so quickly, and now, here we are, in 2010, your 25th birthday!!

We love you Daniel James and wish you the very Happiest Birthday yet!!!

Blessings,
~Mom

TODAY IS OUR SON JAMIE'S BIRTHDAY!!

I am dedicating my post today to our son Jamie, as it's his B Day!! Gosh, it seems like he should still be that little boy in the picture I shared! The years have really flown by, that's for sure! Seems like one minute he was little and then I blinked and then the next thing I know, he was all grown up!
Believe me parents of little ones, those little children that you hold in your arms and give those bear hugs to, grow up so very, very fast, right there before your eyes!

Jamie is our third child out of 4 children. He's made us proud in more ways than one, and continues to make us proud to this day! The picture of Jamie and me was taken almost a year ago when he rode in the Aids bikeathon from San Jose, Ca to Los Angeles, Ca. on his bicycle, with thousands of others. This was the second time he rode for the Aids bikeathon! I wasn't able to be there to cheer him in when he rode over the finished line the first time he rode in the bikeathon, but, I made sure that I was there to cheer him in on the second one he rode in!! I don't know who was more happier, him or me when it came to him riding in over that finish line!! Might be a real toss up!!

We love you Jamie and we wish you a Very Happy Birthday!! Enjoy your day!!

Blessings,
~Lynn aka ~Mom~ :)
