Because today is our daughter Lindsey's 30th birthday. And she says she's having a bit of a tough time getting used to that fact that she's now starting her 30's. And I have to admit, it does sound a bit strange that our daughter is 30. But then again, none of us are getting any younger, are we??
Although, with her turning 30 it does sound as if she's catching up to us just a little bit, doesn't it?
And so to celebrate her birthday today, we want to show you some photos from the past 30 years...
She has arrived! Taken at 1 day old...August 21, 1986.
At age two and a half, we took Lindsey skiing for the first time. She was a natural!
Age 4. She sure is a cutie, isn't she?
Off to Brownie Camp at age 6.
Halloween 1993. She's always making us laugh!
Out for a hike with Mom and Dad at age 8.
In July of 1997, Lindsey won a coloring contest in the local newspaper and she got to be a clown in the Shriner's Circus.
At age 12, out doing some spring skiing. As I said earlier, Lindsey was a natural skier, and went on to get her level 1 instructor's licence.
Age 17.
Just short of her 20th birthday, she had her beautiful long hair chopped off to support cancer for a wig making program for children.
Always lots of laughs when you're around Lindsey!
On her wedding day, October 3, 2009. Lindsey with Ruth's dad.
Lindsey loves her Grandpa!
With her husband Justin.
Life is too short not to be silly every now and again!
With her family! Cameron, Justin, and Sadie.
Happy 30th Birthday Lindsey. We love you!

Happy birthday to Lindsey. Our oldest son is already 35, so we hit that 30 milestone a while ago. It's funny how they keep getting older, but I don't feel older. I guess that's a good thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evelyn for the birthday wishes to Lindsey. Yes I agree, I don't feel like I am old enough to have a child that old, I still feel like I am in my thirties, at least most of the time I do. ;-)
DeleteGreat pictures of Lindsey!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteHappy Birthday Lindsey amazing how the time flies. So many great memories.
ReplyDeleteThank you George! Yes, she has had some great memories and so have we. :-)
DeleteHappy Birthday to Lindsey! We had a brief "moment", when our eldest turned 40. 40! And that was "few" years ago. Time flies.
ReplyDeleteShe too had her hair lobbed off for a wig for a cancer victim. Odd little coincidence.
Thanks Bob! Funny, so far I haven't had any moments concerning age, mine or hers.
DeleteYes, that is an odd coincidence, they must think alike! :-)
Happy birthday from the left coast! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you Peter!
DeleteGreat history of her life in pictures....

Thank you Garry! We have so many it was hard to pick only a few of them out. :-)
DeleteWhat a treat for Lindsey that you have all these photos to share with her.
ReplyDeleteIsn't 30 the new 20?
What a nice family you have.
Thank you Jan! Yes, she really appreciates all the pictures that we have of her and that many of them have now been digitized so that she can have copies as well.
DeleteHappy Birthday to her! I get her feelings, to date 30 is still my worst birthday and that was a long time ago:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Chuck and Anneke! Still haven't gotten to an age where it has bothered me. I always say you are only as old as you feel.
DeleteI'm 76 and I've never had a birthday that bothered me. I figure the more birthdays I have, the longer I'll live.
ReplyDeleteWell done, that's the attitude I love. I am 54, going to be 55 this year and I still haven't been bothered by age. Really, you are only a day older than you were yesterday!
DeleteHappy Birthday to her! Your nice series makes me think of our kids, only a little older.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
DeleteThank you Dinah! Yes, we have had a few people say that she looks like me but when Kevin and I look at her she looks more like him and definitely more like his side of the family.
ReplyDeleteYep, time is a funny thing for sure!
