Happy Birthday Andy!

"Thirtysomething" Andy Belanger is a bit older today. Just like Matt's birthday, lets hear some great Andy stories today!

I could go for the laminated meatloaf story or how as I was being helped into the car to be taken to the hospital for stitches Andy kept playing basketball and said to Scott Thornton "Some people just don't when to stop joking."

But I'll go for this one:
Andy was much more of a pet person than I was. He wanted a dog and got Mittens (The Dark and Shining Midnight Star). He wanted a cat and got a kitten that he named Lucky. Lucky's first night in our home, Andy wanted Lucky to sleep with him in his waterbed. Andy is a very sound sleeper, he rolled over on Lucky, smothered it and it didn't make twenty-four hours alive in our home. Yeah... lucky.

Happy Birthday Andy!

Oh, I forgot to say how much fun we had at Andy's birthday party last week. Especially when Andy was pinning the tail on the donkey and got stuck in the rear by Emma.

Ahhemmm, that cat Lucky, was MY cat that I got to pick out at Doctor pets which Andy later killed, Thanks Heeps, Andrew...but I'm not bitter or anything! ha ha
My favorite Andrew memory is when Andy asked me to run errands with him the day before his wedding. We went to the water district and a few other places. I was a little sad that one of us was already leaving the "nest" and I really needed that time, and truly cherish that memory!
Andy, don't forget you're half- way to 66!!! Happy Birthday!!! Love you!

Andy .what a guy. I love the way you laugh. I love the way you laugh hard at you own jokes.sometimes when no one else is laughing. I like the way you love nature and do day trips with you kids. I am always bragging about my brother who goes to the legislature. HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Ok. Happy Birthday, Andy. I do know who you are. It was just a joke.

My favorite Andy story, so far, is when Andy was sealed to us he walked into the room and very coolly and calmly announced "Hi Mom".

For the record, I did not kill Lucky. The vet did. There are many cats that live fulfilling lives (or is it flailing lives) with a broken back. There's a whole movie about them: "Brokeback Kittens".

My favorite Andy story is the time he thought he could cut hair, and I got the worst hack job of my life. I had to go to school the next day with no bangs,and low self esteem. But on a serious note I am with Matt I love the way you always plan outings with your kids and invite the rest of us along. All the best on your birthday love your bro Mark Jr
