July 11, 1974 was one of the happiest days of my life. I gave birth to the most beautiful baby boy! I can’t believe he’s 37 today! He is still my “little boy” and sometimes I can’t believe he belongs to me. He is the best son ever and is a wonderful husband to Jennifer and daddy to McKinley and Cade.
Saturday we went to Birmingham to spend the day and eat supper. We ate at Chuy’s at the Summit…the same restaurant he chose last year. Outside the planters were full and lush….not an easy task in this heat!
Next to Chuy’s is a store I adore….it’s one of mine and my daughter’s favorite places to shop….Charming Charlie’s.
If you have one anywhere near where you live, I would strongly recommend you go! Lots of eye candy and you won’t leave empty handed.
We had to wait about an hour for our table so I took a few pictures….The Summit is perched high on the mountains in Birmingham with magnificant views
Here’s the birthday boy and his son looking out over the shopping down below

Don’t you just want to kiss those cheeks?
The girls love to strike a pose!
My daughter in law Jennifer helping Cade who is about to start walking
I’m the proud mama of these two
Gotta brag a little….aren’t they gorgeous?
Son and his sweet family
Back at the “ranch” the girls had baked a cake and started icing it
I think they might need some lessons in cake baking (and some front teeth)!
Happy Birthday Shane….I love you!
What a sweet post. All of us "Mommas" have every right to brag a little or a lot. I, too, have one of those sweet boys (mine is just a year older than yours) & one of those sweet girls (she just turned 40-OUCH!). The two of them, along with their wonderful spouses, have given us 6 beautiful "grands." Life just doesn't get any better. Happy Birthday to your son, and congratulations to you for sharing an obviously wonderful relationship with your children.
