Happy Birthday Mama!

Today is my mom's birthday!

Here's one of the few pictures I have of her as a child....

And one of my favorite pictures of her as a young woman.
She is pretty isn't she?

Very First Birthday Party!

Although Cooper's birthday was a couple of weeks ago, we finally had a 'First Birthday' celebration for him. Since we had been to Disney World, Kelli chose to use a Mickey Mouse theme for the party.
He got lots of nice gifts-including clothes and toys!
And this little Sesame Street activity table in perfect condition that Connor and I picked out at a yard sale the morning of his party!
And finally, here we are singing to him his very first "Happy Birthday to You!"

The video is not too long...but our southern accents are very apparent-so you've been warned! LOL

This is my first attempt to upload a video-hope it works.
Thanks for stopping by today!

One Year Old Today-Happy Birthday Cooper!

I am really kinda teary-eyed writing this post- it is hard to believe that it has been a year since the day Cooper was born! He was almost born early- Kelli was put on bed rest about a month before he was born from premature contractions. Then it seemed like she would NEVER go into labor after she was removed from the bed rest! I had just retired from teaching, and we would go to lunch together during the week, and walk around downtown hoping she would start having the contractions again. She was so ready for him to be born!

Here are a few of my favorite pics of Cooper. Lately, I have made a few of him not smiling, but I won't post those on his birthday! LOL

He was only a few hours old in this one...and so alert. It looks like he's looking right at the camera!
He looked like a little Eskimo baby at first with a head full of 'jet' black hair!
This is one Kelli made. She has it framed in his room. One of the doctors she works with told her she should enter it in a photo contest!
Here's one I made at my house. He seemed to love the camera from an early age! You can see how his hair has thinned out. He is about 6 months here.
Here he is at one of Connor's T ball games. I bought this little outfit for him to wear to the games.
He loves the stairs. We have a gate that we put up to keep him from climbing. If you let him, he'll climb all the way up by himself. Connor told me "Mimi, don't put up the gate. Just let him go up there. He won't hurt nothing." LOL
Sitting on the shelf of my little black table. I had to run quick to get the camera before he moved.
And a very recent one- riding on big brother's bike!
Cooper has brought us lots of pleasure! It is fun having a baby around again...and Connor has a baby brother to play with! I love keeping him and having him spend the night here. Mama, Daddy,and Connor are usually willing to let him come-but just for one night!

Happy Birthday Cooper!
Thanks for stopping by and looking at my Cooper pictures-I hope these are not ones I've posted before!

Birthday Wishes for Connor

Today is Connor's 6th birthday. Here is a letter to him from me!

Dear Connor,

I couldn't let today go by without wishing you Happy Birthday on my blog! I am choosing a few photos of you that I don't think I've posted before...you know Mimi has thousands and I love them all!

You have brought so much pleasure into our lives! I can't believe that you are 6 years old today. 6 years ago, I had no idea how much I would love being a grandmother. You have been a wonderful little grandson, and I love every minute I get to spend with you!

I hope you have a very happy day! I love you little angel baby!
Mimi

Here you are in your Superman Pajamas when you spent the night with us
At the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science..we had so much fun that day with Beth and her grandaughters!
Photo made at Sam's Club...we bought them all. LOL

You with a little hat! Your mom loved to dress you up! LOL

At a petting zoo

In your high chair...you always took everything in with those big blue eyes!
At swimming lessons
Posing on Mimi's stairs


Your first time in a tux
I could go on and on posting pictures of Connor....I really do have thousands of them! If you really want to see more, click on his name on the right sidebar. LOL

Please leave him a birthday wish...I know he will love to hear one of us read them to him!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday Jonathan!

Today is my son Jonathan's birthday. I can't believe how fast the years have gone. It just seems like yesterday that I took a semester off from teaching to stay home with him while he was an infant. I well remember how much I enjoyed that time with him. He was such a happy baby!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures...they bring back lots of memories!

Jonathan was just a few weeks old in this one. My dad is holding him with Kelli looking on.
He is 3 in this picture. His grandparents got him this little firetruck for Christmas. I think Connor looks a whole lot like Jonathan. Lots of others think that too!
He was 7 in this picture. We had a local vet dress up like Santa and bring this puppy. I love the expression on his face...but hate my hairdo. LOL I can see Cooper in him in this pic...I think it is the smile!
Jonathan with Lucy, our beloved pet. He picked her out from a litter in Pearl, MS. Jonathan once won a look-a-like contest with Lucy at an event called 'Bark in the Park' ...the color of the hair I guess!
Jonathan enjoying a laugh with Connor....
And Jonathan at his graduation from Mississippi State. Sorry this one is a little blurry!
We are so proud of him. He is a graduate student in New Orleans working on his master's degree in Arts Administration.
Please leave a comment wishing him a happy birthday!
Thanks for stopping by!

Kelli's birthday-Show and Tell Friday

Today is my daughter Kelli's birthday! I wonder where all the years have gone. I would like to show and tell you about some of my favorite pictures of her.

She was about 2 months old in this picture...just starting to smile!

Here she is at age 2...the same smile!

Kelli the night we celebrated her graduation from nursing school in front of Red Lobster. Kelli and Chad on their wedding day in 1998.
Kelli with Connor in June of 2003.
Kelli in the fall of 2007 at Connor's soccer game...just a few weeks before Cooper was born.Kelli and Cooper this year...May 2008.
Kelli and I have so many things in common including reading, gardening, bargain shopping and antiquing. Maybe one day soon I'll post some pictures of some of her special things in her home.
One interest we don't share is our profession!
She is a nurse, and I am a educator.
But the biggest interest we have is in the picture below......

Connor and Cooper
Thanks for stopping by today. Please leave Kelli a comment on her birthday!
Thanks to another sweet Kelli at There's No Place Like Home for hosting Show and Tell Friday.
