Happy Happy Birthday Mama's Boy

Here you were, minutes after birth.

Look at that head of hair!

You had chubby little cheeks

and loved your rocking horse.

You loved the swimming pool

when we lived in Florida.

You were SO sad when we told you

that you were too big for

a sink bath.

One day we turned around

and you were five.

Five?

Five!

At six you loved playing ball.

And although you played soccer

for ELEVEN years.

(yes I was a soccer Mom

I never missed a match)

I could not find a single

picture of you in one of

your soccer uniforms.

You were a rabbit

BY CHOICE

for so many years that I lost track

of how many bunny costumes I made.

The years flew by.

You grew up into a fine young man.


We were over the moon

when you married

the girl we all love.

And..as your sisters had

children you became a

wonderful Uncle..

because you still have a lot of

'KID' in you.

But the biggest blessing 

in your life

(besides marrying your sweet wife)

is that you have a precious

little son of your own.








And HE loves his Nana!
Yes!He!Does!

Now I know

that you are looking forward

to owning THIS someday..

You even give SweetCheeks a ride in it

sometimes just so you can enjoy it...

But-It's not gonna be your birthday present

this year cuz...

I might be OLD but

I ain't dead yet!

Happy Birthday, Son!

You are loved and you are a 

wonderful son!

(But not enough to get my car)

One of these years I will announce 

that it is YOURS 

 on my blog

and you can come pick it up-

it'll be yours!

You will have 15 seconds to call and

claim your prize after the post shows up.

Good luck!

You son was and is adorably handsome. I love his smile - and the way his Momma loves him. That's the best part. Happy birthday to him!

Your son's son is as cute as his Daddy, and once again loved by a truly wonderful lady.

And may she drive that amazing car and long long time before she forces blog watching on her son's end, haha. You are too much, lol.

HUGS - have a great weekend, dear lady and friend.

Happy Birthday to your Mama's Boy! My own Mama's Boy just walked in and I showed him your car--he restores old cars--and he said it's a beautiful old Mercedes! 60s or 70s???

I'm glad you're not dead yet, Diana! I like to picture you riding around in that beautiful thing.

And I was a soccer mom like you through 2 sons jr high and high school, even going to out of town games. Those were very good days!

I loved all your sweet pictures, and yes, even though he's a daddy himself now, he's still a Mama's Boy. They make the very best husbands!

Mindy said...

Happy birthday to your son. He's a lucky guy to have you as his mom, but I'm not sure he'll ever get that prize if he only has 15 seconds.

That's the sweetest post ever, Diana. I really did enjoy it. {I also enjoyed the picture of your daughters in their sponge rollers, because I totally remember my mom rolling my hair the same way!} Happy Birthday to your amazing son! XOXO

Mary@mydogsmygardenandmary said...

Happy Birthday to your wonderful son and may all his wishes come true.
He sure had a head of hair. Did you have heart burn all the time? Old wives tale, if the baby has a lot of hair that's why you get heart burn LOL. Shaun was bald and I had heart burn all the time, go figure.
