Girls Weekend!

Opening weekend of modern gun season was this weekend. Shane spend his weekends doing whatever it is men do while off in the woods doing their own thing. This picture was taken at deer camp a few weeks ago while he had the girls down for a weekend.

While Daddy was away we have watched movies, watched Say Yes to the Dress, watched cheerleading shows. We also  baked chocolate chip cookies. All fun things to do on a weekend when it was just us girls.

A thing of beauty

This daughter of mine.

I made her.

Well, obviously I had some help.

She is one amazing girl.

Let me tell you some things about her-

• She makes her bed daily (because she wants to) Clutter makes her nuts.

• Her grades are outstanding.

• She almost always does as she should.

• Last week she ran an 8 minute mile (she wanted to prove to herself she could)

She is a parents dream. And without her, my life would be incomplete. I often say she is a great kid and it is amazing her daddy and I haven’t messed her up!

*She is a teenager. And MOODY. Sometimes that is really hurtful.

Things have gotten easier and more difficult in a whole other way over the last 15 years.

Lucky me that she is my firstborn, what a way to break me in!
