There is nothing I can do about it… they just keep growing up. Suddenly my sweet gal is 14 years old. It has been a couple of months since we celebrated a birthday over here and this gal knows how to celebrate in style!!! Earlier this week there was an entire day of baking!!!

Happy Brilliant Birthday Hood #3

The girl with the camera at hand…

Who would bake every single day given the chance…

The girl with the ready smile…

Always up for a laugh…

The girl who can swim for hours…

The girl who is not afraid of working hard…

The girl who cares about the world we live in…

And isn’t afraid to take a stand…

The girl who loves her friends with all her heart…

And the gal that really believes in a good cause…

The gal who reads so many books, the rest of us just cannot keep up with her…

The gal who is not afraid to try new hairdos…

And is up for adventuring with the best of them…

The gal who is the very best big sister…

Seriously…

To the gal that is going places…

I salute you…
You are full of surprises, you are fearfully and wonderfully made… Wishing you the best year ahead, may fourteen be filled with magical adventures and loads of adventures.






Time Really Does Fly When You Are Having Fun…
- Thirteen flew past…
- And then she was twelve…
- And eleven…
- And how fast was ten…
- And nine was so fine…
- And eight was exceptional…

She is gorgeous! Happy happy little lady!
