A birthday this week

"It's truly a gift to have a son like you who grows

more precious with the years."

Happy Birthday to my son, Brett, who will

be 34 this week.  This photo was taken

 at Branson where our family loves to 

spend Thanksgiving weekend. 

How the years have flown by. 

From a little boy who loved to play outside

with the kittens and dog, Baron, content to be 

living quietly in the country and later a 

small town to a grown man

  traveling all over the place

who now likes to live in the city.    

 

 Sports have always played a big part in Brett's life.  From football

in junior high, to basketball and baseball all through school to

golf today.  And even miniature golf when the parents are

participating.  Brett graduated college with a major in 

criminal justice.  He is a CFI, certified forensics interviewer, 

and has his private investigators license in several states.

He is a territory manager and works hard and 

travels long hours to where he's needed.

Our son has a wonderful sense of humor

and frequently has us laughing as you can see in 

the photos above.   It's always fun when he

comes home for a visit and since he has moved back to 

Kansas City from Texas, we get to see him a lot more often!

We are very proud of our son and he is a joy to be 

around.  And most of all, he is loved very much!!

"My son,

 Special - you are my son

                 Optimism - may you always have it

                         Never - forget how much we love you!"

First of all I'd like to say thanks to my son for not saying no when I asked to put some of his photos in my post!  My family has been reluctant to have photos published and very much information written about them and I have respected that and try not to put anything in my posts that they wouldn't approve of.  And my apologies for using photos that may be a bit blurry or scratched. 

We went to Kansas City Saturday to see our son and celebrate his upcoming birthday this week as he will be working on that day.  We also got to see his girlfriend, and Marley the new puppy, and we all had a wonderful visit, meal and a fun game of cards.  I lost.  Again.  The weather co-operated and turned out nice for traveling although we did run into quite a delay on I-70 due to the road construction.   

It's raining as I write this post, in fact some areas are experiencing some pretty heavy storms.  I hope it's not too bad wherever you are.  Today is another chiropractor visit.  And Tuesday, my new sofa will be arriving,  I can't wait to see it.  Hope you have a good week and good weather!  

Until next time...
