feels like yesterday…..






that I was 17. Scared and alone with this tiny wrinkly, red faced baby to take care of …….

Now~

I am 29 and having the time of MY life and SOOO incredible BLESSED to have this girl in it with me!!



Kayla- U ROCK!~

YOUR style, like no other. Your talents. Amaze me! More than words can type I LOVE you. I LOVE the gal you are turning into- every part of it. I LOVE to call you friend and still be your mother. I LOVE how you have a heart for animals and have your future planned at 12 already ( scary for me, but also SUPER proud YOU have plan!) LOVE that you volunteer for so many GReat opportunities to show others God love.. and mostly LOVE your heart for your Heavenly Father- U are BY the RULE book kid and while Im totally a risk taker and rule breaker ( really? whoDA thought? *wink!)- YOU, my lovely girl, have shown me what its like to hear Gods voice and KNOW its right and true because if not for YOU, He would not be the center of our FaMiLy. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE you Kayla boo~ feels so bittersweet to have a 12 year old but Im holding onto your youth and cherish these times together:) HAPPY HaPpY BiRtHdAy!! :D Off to make the Birthday girl breakfast in bed then tonight…we conquer Ben and Jerry's VERMONSTER with some friends ( even though she LOVES chocolate. and icecream. :p I think she just wants the tye-dyed T from Ben and Jerry's!! Shes kinda in love with collecting fun T's:)…)

so proud of the amazing girl you have raised! seeing the kind of young woman kayla is becoming is a testament to the woman who has given her ALL to raise her...you are one awesome mama! long before you thought you knew HOW to be a mom, you were already the BEST mom because with EVERY baby you have always followed your heart and loved them beyond words, beyond understanding, and always trusted the Lord to give you what you need to bring them up according to HIS plan and HIS will.

you know i adore you! (and all your kiddies too!) they are all SO lucky to call you mom =)

happy bday kayla! can't wait to hang with you at the beach next summer!!

Really....has it been 12 years!?!?! I still remember that red faced, bald headed baby! You have done a wonderful job and you are both so lucky to have each other, she made you the person you are and you made her the person she is, what a blessing from God! I still can't believe it's been 12 years!!! Happy Birthday Kayla:)
