From here-
to here-
In thirteen fabulous years.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HADLEY ERIN!
I am so proud of you. You are the best kid and such a breeze to parent. You are thoughtful and helpful and loving and hysterical. You keep Brandon and I laughing daily. When we can’t sleep at night, we lay in bed and laugh at the funny things you have said. You are a riot. You make us so happy!!
It is an honor to be your mom. I hope we will always be friends, but if you ever decide you don’t like me, know that I will still love you, and no matter what you do, that won’t change. My love for you is unconditional. You are my baby forever and always.
Thank you for being such an amazing big sister. I know the boys drive you crazy, but thanks for tolerating them. They love you so much. Thanks for setting a good example and always having a good attitude. The kids watch you and learn from you. You are doing me HUGE favors by being so fabulous. THANK YOU!
I hope you have a good birthday. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow. Hurry home so we can celebrate.
Love, mom
PS- Here is your song

It’s Birthday time for you.
We’d really like to celebrate this happy day with you

I LOVE YOU BABY GIRL!!!
So cute she is – What a godsend sweetheart she is to you. I wish I had a daughter… especially when I read things like this.
Hope her day was wonderful.
I love your birthday song. (Ahhh… Primary days. Remember when it was after school and we had to wear dresses?)
Sing it again for YOURSELF!!

P.S. Are you dying of frostbite yet? Why did it have to be so cold here right now for your trip? Hope you had a good time despite that.
Happy Birthday Hadley!
(She looks like a porcelain doll in that first picture — how sweet!)

This made me cry. Partly because it was sweet, but mostly because I HAVE decided I really don’t like my mom, and she still loves me anyway. It would be easier if she didn’t.
Together, the Babe and I have raised 2 fine young men. You take what you get and you love ‘em. But,,,,,,,,,many times in your daily life you run across young women that just make you blurt out, “I wish we had a daughter.” Lucky Sandi. Happy birthday Hadley, you blurt causer. steve
Hadley!! You’re a teen now and I wish the happiest of birthdays, sweetie.
Happy Birthday Hadley!!
Happy Birthday to beautiful and wonderful young lady!!
Wow! She’s a teenager now! Happy birthday, Hadley!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HADLEY!!!!!

Happy birthday, beautiful Hadley!!
What a pretty baby…and pretty young lady!
Happy birthday, beautiful girl.
Happy belated birthday Hadley…go enjoy that shopping money with your mom! (I assume you are going to pick the shopping and not the surprise present)
Happy Birthday Hadley. Sandi you are raising a beautiful daughter and pat yourself on the back for doing such a wonderful job. I don’t think kids just turn out good, its a lot of hard work provided by mom and dad.
Happy belated birthday to Hadley!
And happy anniversary of the day your beautiful baby was born, Sandi! I always think the mom should get special recognition on her kids’ birthdays – adopted or bio’s, the mom’s bear the hardest labor of love!
