...seems like just yesterday I was a little kid.

Now, in a few days, I will be 50!

Awwww! How sweet, Cindy!

Awwwww...you look so cute Cindy....hanging on for dear life...but so cute

What a cutie you were/are!! We all love you!!!

Yeah, that one is sweet.....here's my mean Cinja photo...

Awwwwww......Baby Cinja (in training)

Looks like you are ready to tackle someone!

I know eh.....now how many times a day do you still make that face

Quite a few...but I have perfected the "look" so I look way meaner now...

Ans what about the hand gestures....still look like that too

Happy Birthday...
Don't sweat it Cindy..
It's just a number and you are far from that
"actual" number in spunk and spirit!!!

Uhhh...hand gestures have come a long way since then, unfortunately...

Just ask Brennan right!!

In that second pic, you look like you are ready to duel to the death with the photographer!

Awwww
Happy Birthday Cindy!

I love the pictures, Cindy!! And Happy Birthday again!

It's not my birthday yet...
I just start celebrating a few days early every year!

I'm always so happy to get a year older...
...with all the "mishaps" I have been through it really is a special day for me when I can add another number to how old I am.

So its party all week then

Exactly!

Soooooooo..happy birthday Cindy

I wish I could find an old birthday party picture to post...but all I can find is a Halloween party about ten years ago...

That'll do

Heads up Cindy!! A 'widdle' box coming your way with 4 'widdle' wishes in it for your B.D.!!!

Ohhh Cute pics Cindy!!

You really do look like you wanna rip the photographers head off!!

Awww Cindy, those pics are awesome!!! Happy Birthday a few days early...

I just noticed this!

I saw it right away!!!

Cool......good one Bill

Hit Hain't bad, Cindy. Why I been Fitty fer nigh on five year now, an' hit hain't hurt me none, much.

Very cool!

I like the secon pic...I want to see how cindy looks now...all those years of practicing:D

I still look mean, Kenny.....

cindy that don't look too mean.. I mean you are giving the peace sign!!

OK...here's mean!

Is that really your mean face? you look nice in that picture!

I am sure having 3 boys I have it perfected they know when not to mess with me...

That is my WAY mean face!

I was very, very mad when that picture was taken.

Ohhhh No so it is not like me when flames and the sort fly out of my eyes when they see me they all scatter!!

Ohhhh By the way Happy early Birthday! Hope your week is Perfect!!

I had just said a really bad word right as that picture was being taken...

I am usually good to go...Just once in a great while I get a SERIOUS mad.. acually have to stay in non vocal mode for a few days..

Are you going anywhere for the big day?

Actually, I have thought seriously about going out to eat at that place where I took G-Mom and Vanessa. I figure it's the only 50th birthday I will ever have, and 50 is kinda special...so I'll just put it on my credit card and go out to eat a nice, expensive meal...and enjoy myself.

I will probably end up taking Mr. Wonderful...
...he has to go with me if I tell him to, because he is Mr. Wonderful.

I thought I would ask Rachel if she wanted to go...
...she's been asking me for the last month what I wanted for my birthday...something special...something I will remember. So, if we went to that place to eat together that would be really nice.

Ohh that is nice!! Tell Mr wonderful to behave I hope Rachel goes with you as well..I am sure it will turn out to be a wonderful evening..

Cindy, a dinner out with Rachel sounds about perfect!

Only 1 days 6 hours and 7 minutes left!
If I can live that long I will make it to 50!

I hope you will be answering your phone on the 23rd!! You'll probably get a few phone calls!!

Don't try and stick a huge spoon in your mouth until then okay? And ummm, you might want to totally stay away from the pond, and the kitchen...and anything sharp!

Good ideas Loz!

I just got cards from Angie, Diane and Vanessa!


And I gotta get a picture to post here of what Diane sent me!

It's coming fast Cindy!

Rachel was here a few minutes ago to drop Brennan off...and I was so excited, showing her my cards and presents...and told her "12 hours and 35 minutes left til my birthday!"

She said "I have never seen you this excited about your birthday before!" and I said "I never turned 50 before!"

She'll understand When it's her turn to hit 50 1/2 a century old,

It is nice to see you so darn excited Cindy!!! Looking forward to celebrating with you.

Party!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Angelblossom!



Brennan insisted on trying the peanuts!

Ohhhh great gift!!!

Now you wont have to go to Richmond for a few days.......nice nuts too ...i got some from Diane....and they do have a kick to them!!!!

Your welcome Cindy!!! Did Brennan try the peanuts

Happy Birthday My Friend!
