HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!

HAPPY 41ST

BIRTHDAY

MICHAEL MANSFIELD

This blog page is dedicated to my brother Mike who is going to be 41 years old on February 17th of this year. He lives in Michigan with our older (hehehe) sister Terri. He has lived there since February 2002. I have all these pictures of him from over the years and I decided what better way to tell him Happy Birthday than to let everyone I know see just how cute he was as a little kid and how cute he still is at 41. So Mike....this is for you!!

Look at how cute he was as a little boy. This is him with our Grandpa. Grandma is in the background. My brother was just 12 months old in this picture and from the looks of it has some chubby little cheeks. :)




Here he is on Christmas morning in 1973 when he was 6 years old. Look at how excited he seems to be and he hasn't even opened the present to see what record is wrapped up. Of course the other record player was for me...but I was probably off playing with a box or something as I was only 4 years old.




Apparently a record player was not all he got that year for Christmas. Lucky for the dog, whose name was Moose, there were not real bullets in the gun. You look like a real bad guy there Mike with your footie pajamas on.



I am not sure when this picture was taken, but he was about to fall over. He was learning to walk and the pillows were in front of him to catch him when he fell over. Which, from stories that I have heard, he did all the time while learning to walk.














There are all pictures from different
grades in school. I don't know about you but I LOVE the one of you right above Mike. You just look so cute...sad...but very cute!! I think that was 1st grade!





Here you are at 2 1/2 years old learing how to play the guitar. Our father was an EXCELLENT guitar player so my brother I am sure wanted to follow in those footsteps.







Here you are at 4 1/2 years old in the backyard of our "old house". I use this term because it was the first house we ever lived in as kids. We always called it the "old house".





In both of these pics he has traded in the guitar from when he was 2 1/2 for a more stylish and hip look of the famous air guitar. Nice Mike! No matter where my brother was he always had his air guitar with him and played it A LOT!!












Not that you want to remember this, but who can forget the chicken pox?? Did you even know I had this picture?? hehehe
And yes, you can thank me for giving them to you. I mean come on now, what is a little sister for. You were 12 years old here just in case you needed reminding. :)




We were all so proud of you here!! You graduated from Sheldon High School in June of 1986. That was so Awesome to watch you march on the stage in your cap and gown to get your diploma. Way to go!!

You look like you are either getting ready to

yell at Terri and I here for doing something you

didn't like or you are just not happy about something.

Either way you were cute!

I am not even going to begin to assume what the heck you were doing here. I thought the picture was very funny though so I had to add it to this page. :)








And finally here you were just 6 months ago. This was taken at the chineese buffet we went to for your friends birthday. I am not sure how to spell his name so I am going to guess...his name is Retius right?

Well Happy Birthday big brother. I hope you like all these pictures that I found of you. This is going to be out there for lots of people to see. I wanted everyone to know just what a cutie I have for a brother.

I love you!!! :)
