Happy Birthday to Mom

We celebrated Mom's birthday in 1991. I love that Hayden has her "fancy" tape deck, which was probably playing a happy birthday tape. 
 

Vala Is 6

We celebrated Vala's 6th birthday. She rocked her new shades.

 

Celebrating Dad

On this his birthday, a shout out to my Dad, celebrating with Stacy, Hayden, Frances and Morgan. 1991
 

Happy Birthday to Lowell!

To celebrate her 8th birthday, she started the day with a haircut and manicure. Hard to see but she has glitter, tinsel and feathers in her hair.

Then time for cake!~

 

A Mother's Love

These are the family that make Mother's Day special. And a beautiful cake designed and decorated by Adam to celebrate my birthday.

 

Explosive Fun

Adam celebrated his 7th birthday with a party at the park that included science experiments. Here they are inflating balloons after adding baking soda to water bottles. Below, the hilarity followed an exploding bag of colored water.

The wind caused problems when Adam attempted to blow out his candle. And below he proudly showed me his new fitness band.

Happy 4th Birthday!

We celebrated Colin's birthday with a Goldilocks and the Three Bears party. He was rarely still long enough to be photographed. I attempted to teach them how to build a birthday pyramid. Cousin Libby joined us.

 

Happy Birthday to Howard

Another celebration of Pops.

 

Happy Birthday, Hayden!

Happy birthday to Hayden today. Another glorious trip around the sun.
 

Sing Out

Colin was singing loudly for Stacy's birthday celebration. So were several others but from afar so not in the photo.
 

Birthday Girl

We celebrate the big 5th birthday with Vala.

 

Just Five Years Ago

Happy Birth Day to Vala – with masks and a pandemic. Adam and Lowell were pretty tiny, too. 

 

Happy Birthday, Dad

Stacy, Hayden and Morgan were on hand to help him celebrate. 1986
 

Ready to Sing

The crew is ready to sing Happy Birthday to me. 

 

Ready to Eat

Here I am on my 4th birthday. I like that spoons are at the ready around the cake, as if we will all just starting eating it. Who needs plates? Happy birthday to me today with an extra Throwback.
 

Ready to Sing

The kids were ready to sing to Adam at his party but Stacy couldn't keep the candle lit in the wind. We finally sang and Adam blew it out just as she lit it.

 

Happy Birthday, Adam!

Adam is now 6! (with a traffic light cake)

 

Colin Is 3!

We celebrated Colin's 3rd birthday with a Little Blue Truck themed party. His cake and treats reflected the theme, which Vala was examining. She was checking to see what was gluten-free for Lowell.

 

In Her Hippy Days

Happy Birthday to Cindy (yesterday) from back in 1971. I do miss the turning plate that sang happy birthday to us.

 

Happy Birthday to Steve

Steve is celebrating a birthday that I would guess to be in 1955. I'm at the end of the table and Susan on the right but I don't know the rest of the kids. Looks like a Halloween theme.
