Happy Birthday, Mandy!

You all just thought it was Friday the 13th, right? Maybe it is, but it is also our oldest daughter's 32nd birthday. I know, it's amazing that I gave birth at ten years old :). Seriously, we are so proud of you, honey. You are an amazing daughter, sister, wife and mother. We are so proud of the young woman you are and feel privileged that God allowed us to share your life. Just thought I would post a few of my favorite pictures from the past (hey, this works great for flashback Friday). It turned into more than a few, but I could have posted MANY more, so.......


One month old and already waving to the fans...
This is one of my favorite pictures. We used to have pictures made at Olan Mills, back in the day. You always had to wait forever to get pictures made and by that time, everyone looked frazzled and not exactly in picture mode. Someone told us, if you take your dog, they'll get you right in. What a great idea so.....here is Mandy at 18 months old with Kublai (the best dog we have ever had, by far). The kids think Mandy was posing with a lion :).

Doesn't she look so sweet and feminine?

Oh, those wonderful grade school pictures.


Just had to post one with big bangs and glasses.
Junior prom, I think the style has changed just a bit, but you gotta love big sleeves.


April 21, 2001.....

and a mere eight years later. Her dad says she has finally paid off - those grandsons are pretty special (the son-in-law, too). We love you, Mandy!
