Happy Twenty-twelfth Birthday Lynsey!

32 years ago yesterday,
May 4, 1979
I became a parental
to this:

Shockingly enough I went on to
parental 4 more times!

We celebrated by eating Mexican food.

Not everyone was thrilled about it.



This is four of my five offspring.

We missed you Matt.
Happy Birthday Lynsey! You've brought us much joy.

Lynsey my oldest and Candice my youngest.

I do have a question....how is it possible that I have a 32 year old child?

P.S. 6 days until Florida!

    You must have been a mere child when you parentaled her! Happy Birthday to Lynsey! You have some good looking kids, I know where they get their looks from!

    Happy Cinco de Mayo!

    It doesn't really seem possible. Probably a mistake somewhere.

    Happy Birthday Lynsey!

    I feel your 'age' pain. It's probably a good thing that we parental more offsprings before they are teenaged.

    Happy day, happy day!!!

    Happy Birthday Lynsey. You have gorgeous kids. (PS - You have mentioned to them the age-old motherism "If the wind changes your face will stay that way"??)

    No possible way. You are far too young.

    Are you sure she's 32? 'Cause you don't look more than a minute older than that yourself!
    Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter!

    How is it possible? Well it's your own fault for giving birth when you were 12.

    Love the pics. You have a great looking family! And I pull that same face when I don't want what's for dinner too.

    possible...because you had her when you were only 13...did you forget.

    Her first picture was funny...I see some of your spunk in that.

    I hope she had a great day!!

    What an awesome family and sweet b-day party. I'm with you, how can you be the mom of a 32 year old. The years just fly by and I'm asking myself, How can I have a 13-1/2 year old grandson with #'s 16 & 17 on the way!

    Your kids are great and you are too...Happy Mother's Day to a super mom.

    My mother asks me the same thing. And, I want to know how I got that old in the first place. Isn't amazing how fast time really does fly?

    Y'all have the prettiest eyes! I always notice your eyes first! The babies are so dang cute. You are one lucky GRANDma!

    My first baby is 6 weeks older than your first baby. Really we were way to young to have children!

    Woo hoo, Florida needs to watch out for the Tsunami which is headed their way!

    Happy Happy Birthday to Lynsey! I have met her in person so I feel special!!

    She doesn't look old enough to be 32 and I think you must have had her when you were 12 my dear!!

    YOU are hilarious. I have had fun getting to know you and your blog. The diaper wedgie might have been my favorite. I think some babies do that so they don't have "diaper lines" when they wear tight pants.

    Well, you guys must have some wicked good genes going on because she doesn't look 32 and you don't look old enough to have a 32 year old!

    Happy Birthday Lynsey!!

    Tauna, I love how you spell all of your kids names and your heading with "became parental" made me laugh!! I can honestly say,you sure don't look old enough to have 32 year-old!

    YAY for countdown until you're off on a getaway with hubby! I think I'm just as excited as you are!

    You and Cherie were TWINNERS with both being parental on Cinco de Mayo!

    Love the photos of your kids and grand kids! You're such an awesome mom and grandma! Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!

    I think people forget to talk to the parentals when it is a birthday. WE should be the ones that are celebrated, not the kids themselves. Sheesh!

    I find it hard to believe you're the mother of a 32-year-old also, as you're so obviously young at heart. :)
