I think it is funny when I come across a family blog and the
blogger, usually the mom, has a darling picture of her child and asks,
"Don't you think she is pretty?" or "Isn't she pretty?"
I think it is a little odd that there needs to be some outside affirmation that your child is beautiful.
Well I am not asking.
And if you know me,
you know I probably don't really care what you may think
(at least on this matter) anyhow.
I know my daughter is beautiful.
Inside and Out.
And birthdays always give me focus time to think that day, of the child, mostly all day long.
And I've bee thinking.
Yes, I have been blessed.
No, the teenage years haven't been too bad.
Just because she is "teen" she doesn't have to speak "teen" or act "teen."
She is self-motivated.
Clean freak! So helpful when it comes time to clean the truck.
Amazing student. Almost all her projects are confiscated as "examples of excellent work."
Spiritual. She reads her scriptures without prompting.
Works on her Personal Progress without nudging.
Perfect? No. That too would be weird.
She is a kid.
14.
Learning to deal with 4 siblings,
And 2 parents that sometimes "bug" her.
Only 4 years left.
Oh, it is so true.
They grow up so fast!
Love, Love, Love You!
Happy Birthday
At this age it isn't really a birthday party anymore.
More hanging out with friends.
So she had a few friends over for dinner, a photo shoot, and goofing off.
And girls love pictures.
So my friend, Becca, came and took pictures of the girls.
Which absolutely was the best part of the night!
They all posed so natural...in the cold!
