Happy Birthday S!!

SO along time ago on a cold winters night....(I wasn't living in the sun state then!!)  And it was a few days later than today... but S doesn't want anything done for her birthday so I figure if its not really her birthday today I can do whatever I want!!!!  I can you know...  I AM THE MOM!!!! anyway back to our story...  She was 2 weeks over due and I was ready to get her out anyway I could we finally went in about 4 am to get this ball rolling and 38 hours later with a trip to the or for more help our sweet little girl was born!!!  8lbs 3oz and 21 inches long...  she has been a great kid from the day she came out to now..  with only one or two  what the heck were you thinking moments. She has always been willing to go with the family and she is definately our peace maker... with a few pokes of her own to add.. She is always smiling and has a funny story to tell!!

She is soooooooo much like her mother when it comes to getting her picture taken and Dad got his mothers gene and loves to take pictures!!!!!  (That is when we remember the camera then it is catch up picture time..)  S loves to try new things and we have loved the big roller coaster and will one day do a biggest roller coaster vacation!!!!
S loves to be comfortable and enjoys volleyball and softball and is very good at both..  we love to watch her play and encourage her teammates with a smile.  S is a very good student and gets goods grades and has just passed her drivers test so we will be getting that next week.....uuuugggghhhhh..  I am not old enough for that!!
S is a ray of sunshine in our family and I know that I appreciate all that she does to help around the house and I know that she will be a great roommate, girlfriend and than wife and mother to who ever gets past her father and me..
We re so grateful to have been given this wonderful little girl in our lives and we thank our heavenly father each day for her and her wisdom and fun that she brings into our family!!
so on this day that is not your birthday I say we love you and we our glad that you came to our family on that cold winters day almost 16 years ago... I love you S...  love Mom

She is loved by everyone who knows her. I'm glad she is still good to you and Rick, it gives me hope. I'm sure they all have their moments- but really she still likes you guys at 16, that's huge! I think you've made it past that I hate my parents stage. Lucky you, now 3 more to go.
