Kyle Singing to Mamaw

My Baby Turned Six

Kyle turned 6 on October the 11th. A happy day but also sad, this is my baby. He is turning out to be a real goofy boy, wonder where he gets it? He is such a fun kid to be around. I like that he still enjoys to sleep and snuggle with his mom, he says he will move into his own room when he is 16, I'm starting to believe him. Here's a small clip of what has been happening in Kyle's life for the past six years.

Happy Birthday Kyle!
We LOVE you!!

Shannon had a few friends over for her birthday.

This is so sad>>>>

But I have to say they all had fun! Nice to see all age groups play so well together. I love homeschooling!

I have a Teenager!

Well, the day finally came. My oldest child turned 13 (on Wednesday). I have such mixed feelings. I am sad because she is growing up and will want to leave home on her own adventures soon. I'm also excited for the same reasons.

I would like to brag about my teen, Shannon.

She is a mature, smart, confident, strong, brave, courageous, attentive, and an understanding girl!

She has been this way since she was born. I remember when that day happened, something changed inside of me when I held her for the first time. (she was born the day after her due date, due to the fact I ate a lb of M&Ms the night before) I never held a baby before Shannon. I worked so hard bringing her into the world. Then when I saw her, I knew this is what I always wanted to be, a MOM! I wanted to be with her every moment of her life. I told myself I would work hard at being a good mother. And Shannon has really taught me more than I have taught her. I have always told her she is my guinea pig baby, always testing things on her. She has such a big heart, like her daddy. She doesn't like to show feelings or affection but you know she loves you, you can see it in her eyes and that smirk.

I am very proud of Shannon. When she decides to do something, she does it. I liked how she has grown into a person that thinks of the all the little pieces that make up this world. She is not selfish with herself. I hope and pray we continue to be friends. I really like just hanging out with her, she's a cool kid to talk too. I encourage you all get to know her. She is a jewel and a great joy to be around. I am so blessed to have her.
Happy Birthday Shannon and I love you so much my heart hurts :o).
