October 4th - HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOLLY!
Holly was lucky enough to get her own special post, but then mama got busy... but we'll go ahead and say it again!
October 12th - HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA BILLIE!
My Grandma Billie - my moms mom - is just about the sweetest, strongest person you'll ever meet! She used to tell me all the time when I was a kid "You can have whatever you want!" I mean - who doesn't love that :) Seriously though - My Grandma is the best! As also previously posted - My mom and I drug her around the Downtown Aquarium as a treat for her birthday! I think she had a good time!
Here's a nice pic of me and my gramma from the wedding :)
October 12th - HAPPY BIRTHDAY OMA!
My moms mom and my dads mom both happened to have the same birthday! Weird huh?! Though she is no longer with us, we still say Happy Birthday to this amazing woman! She was practically my second mom growing up - I spent most of my after school time at their house, especially when her and my Opa moved across the street from me and my mom! I have my Oma to thank for my good looks (I look a lot like her), all of the fun Dutch traditions, my love of Marry Poppins (taped from the TV), Jeopardy and Danny Kaye and my affinity for good music, chocolate and cheese!
Hartelijk Gefeliciteerd Oma - We love and miss you!
October 17th - HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!
Emily is Rob's oldest cousin - daughter of Lise and Alice - and big sis to Beth and Katy! Emily, like most teenagers is into the whole Twilight thing (well, any literature in general), sarcasm and colorgard! She's usually good for a smile too :)
Since I don't have any recent pics of Emily - I stole this old one from Beth's facebook page! She's the one there in the middle... I wish I know what her costume was... it certainly looks like it has a good story!
October 18th - HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANA LIZ!
Nana Liz is Rob's Dad's Mom. Nana Liz makes the best desserts - including this one she made for her Birthday! Don't worry - she didn't have to make dinner too!
October 25th - HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS!
Pops (Frank) is my mom's dad! Pops is sports loving, outdoor spending, plant growing, hilarious man! We have Pops to celebrate for my red hair (we're the only two gingers in the family), the family's obsession with turtles, our bad habits of "collecting" interesting things, and distaste for loud noises! My favorite thing about Pops these days is his sense of humor. Growing up I don't know if he wasn't funny then, or if I was too young to get the jokes, or if I just didn't notice... nowadays, I'm pretty much guaranteed a laugh every time I visit him!
This pic is actually from my Aunt Cheri's birthday (September) - but Pops is in there too and he's smiling :)
October 25th - HAPPY BRITHDAY JAYDA!
Miss Jayda celebrated her 2nd birthday this past sunday! Jayda is my cousin Bryan's daughter and specially celebrated because she is the Kelly family's first and only Great Grand Baby (until Edie gets here)! And Jayda was lucky enough to be able to share her birthday with her great grandpa Pops! Its really amazing how fast these little ones grow up! Just last year mama and daddy were unwrapping her first birthday gifts - this year, she did it all on her own, said thank you, and kissed her presents! What a cutie!
Yes, she is standing on the table and thats her Daddy there in the second one!
October 27th - HAPPY BIRTHDAY PARKER!
Parker is Rob's little step-brother. This year we celebrated Parker's 13th birthday with a nice cozy dinner at Benihana! Thank you for having a birthday Parker so a pregnant lady could get some delicious fried rice! Just kidding... but really! Parker is quite the kiddo. Full of energy, interested in just about every thing and we share a love of Haribo Happy Cola! My favorite thing about Parker is how great he is with little kids. He is always there for his little nephew Logan or his little cousin Tanner. Is always willing to help them out in any way and really enjoys spending time with them! I just know he'll be a fantastic uncle to Edie!
I wish I had the pic from Benihana Wednesday night with Logan and Tanner in it - but I don't... So instead here's a good one from Ren Fest last year... its pretty much typical Parker :)
Ok, Well that does it for October! Happy Birthday Everyone! Lots and Lots of Love!!
