If only she'd relish the Puddin' like that now!!



Oh, and a bit more recent...

It goes so dang quick.

Another shocking reminder that time is marching by quicker than we realize!

I still have that classic photo etched in my mind.....she is becoming a beautiful young lady.......the rest of us are just becoming old (sigh...).

What does she think of the nickname she earned? It took quite a bit of effort to make all that mess.

She likes that we still call her that (heck, she still hugs Pig & Sheep goodnight ), but was mortified that I called her PuddinFace on her timeline--Along with the above photo. She got over it quick enough after all the positive attention it drew.

I miss the Messy Girl, though.

Wow, what a beautiful young lady.  And is a Happy Birthday in order?

Heheh, sounds familiar somehow.   You think if you survive their teen years at all its why you turn grey and old.   Just wait it gets even better when the boys start to hang around which looks like will be imminent.


And then in the blink of an eye they are off to school and gone. 

I even offered a summer job for Kayla to come home, but she didn't seem too interested.
