That’s right. 28 years ago today this adorable baby was born.
I know some bloggers have their blogs ‘hacked’ by family or friends on their birthdays because they don’t want to seem self-obsessed by announcing their own birthday. I think that’s just silly. It’s my birthday, and I’ll shove it in your face if I want to. Seriously, it’s the one day a year that’s all about you. Own it.
How about some younger Chelsea photos to celebrate the momentous occasion of my birth?
I don’t know how old I am in this photo but I’m going to guess 3-4 months. I like how I look like an unimpressed, fat mob boss. And my brother, Ryan, is my track suit wearing hit man.
I don’t know if this is my birthday or my brother’s since I think that’s a dinosaur on the cake, and I was more of a baby doll and Barbie kind of gal. But nonetheless, I’m rocking a mullet. Thanks, mom.
Ryan and I were in our cousin’s wedding. I wore a pretty pink dress (that I still have), and he wore a tuxedo with tails. It was a fancy, Catholic affair. Check out my awesome Farrah Fawcett hair– definitely an improvement from the mullet. As you can see, Ryan loved being a ring bearer. And notice the bloody Jesus legs/feet hanging in the corner of the photo– gives the photo some dimension.
My 5th birthday. I loved that gold dress, and my Big Bird cake.
Now, let’s take a gander at my 21st birthday photos. Hah. Just kidding.
We’re not doing anything too fancy for my birthday. Brad is taking me out to dinner tonight. My in-laws are coming in this weekend to shower me with gifts. And in a couple weeks we’re going out to dinner with friends to celebrate.
Feel free to break your New Year’s diet and eat some cake in my honor today.
Happy Happy Birthday! Blow your own horn girlfriend. Honk! Honk!

You’re hilarious! The hair do’s our moms gave us when we were too little to defend ourselves, right? I always had choppy bangs, looked like they were hacked with a chainsaw cause my mom trimmed them. LOL Hope you have a very happy birthday!

I remember one time I had my hair put up in homemade rollers (my mom used a ripped up t-shirt and twirled my hair around that and knotted it) I had a very hard time sleeping with all those knots pressing against my head. But I sure was pretty when she took them off!
