Kelly's 41st. Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DARLING DAUGHTER

2-15-78

You know now now that every thing is digital it is hard to find old photos for me - so this is kind of a hodgepodge that I could find.

She was always more of s suspicious child that her brother.  She didn't have much hair for a few years - BUT she has a beautiful color - naturally.  Gosh that is my grandmother - and me - I used to be kind of cute.  lol 

Aren't they cute?

There is her smile - she let go of.
Had the cutest freckles.

She took dance - she was a Siamese If You Please - cat. 

When we lived in Chicago - there were four girls the same age starting kindergarten and Jeff - Nancy's brother - to the right of Kelly!  Nancy's mother Jean is one of my nearest and dearest friend to this day.

Where are her teen years?

I have no idea where those photos are.


This was at her graduation from Kennesaw University.

Maybe she is blowing out candles?  I think she is a mother at this point.  

Kelly today.  She is a beautiful girl inside and out.


Kelly's almost 18 year old son - can you believe it?

More Words of teenagers:
trolling - watching someone without their knowledge - I think.
sus   suspicious
thirsty - clingy person
bet - agree
fin a dip - leave
shook or trigger - surprise
hi jey - a lot
lo key - little


DISCO
This is Kelly's other son (lol) Disco who you all know and love (I think)!
He is 10 years old - which is what about 60 - 70?

Happy birthday to your daughter ! She is a beautiful young woman. One any mom would be proud of for sure ! I have only one daughter and 6 sons, but I wouldn't know what to do without her. Daughters are so very special. We are so very blessed to have them

Happy Birthday to Kelly! What a nice post to celebrate her special day. Such cute pictures throughout the years, and I absolutely love that one of her son and his camera. It looks like he's so happy taking pictures. I am enjoying all these teen words that you are sharing lately, cause I'm not familiar with most of them haha. The Anthony Hopkins quote is delightful. I'll pass that on to the girls.

ps.....that picture of all the kids going to school is priceless. What a treasure. Isn't that something that you stayed friends with the mom all these years?

Oh Sandie, your daughter is a beauty! Love her hair in the 'today' picture. And yes, YOU were sure a cutie … still are! Sometimes I look back at pictures when my son was little (he's 49 now) and wonder what happened to my face. LOL!
I need to clip and paste that Anthony Hopkins meme on my heart.
Have a beautiful new week!

Happy Birthday to your lovely daughter! Nice birthday post, I enjoyed the photo montage :)
Thanks for more teen lingo, I'd not heard of most of them - must be getting old!

Susan said...

Awwwwww, Happy Birthday to your darling daughter, Kelly. Sandie, what great photos. You are, indeed, adorable in that photo. Actually, I think you are still adorable. We never see ourselves as others see us, do we? Hope you have a great day. I also hope Kelly will have a terrific new year of life, filled with many happy times and deep contentment. Hugs. Susan

Happiest Birthday wishes to your daughter! What beautiful eyes she has! My eldest turns 41 in less than three weeks. I think it is time for a facelift. Not for him....for me!!

Happy Birthday to your lovely daughter, who got her good looks from her lovely mom. That is a great quote from Anthony Hopkins, aka., Hannibal Lecter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KELLY! Yes she is a lovely lady. But of course she comes from pretty stock, huh? Yes she does. You have a beautiful family and you are rightly proud of them.
From Florida, LOVE!

Happy Birthday, Kelly.... She is such a gorgeous young lady... I hope she meets that 'man of her dreams' sometime. Now that her son is growing up, maybe she'll have more time to pursue a new life....

Loved seeing all of the pictures of Kelly --and also your son...

Hugs,
Betsy
