HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYRANDA!!!!

We now have another teenager in our family. Myranda turned 13 today. She has had a great day. It started with breakfast with dad, then I took her lunch and dropped it off to her at school, after school we went to get a snowcone and then home to get ready for her party. She invited 5 girls over to spend the night and go to an indoor waterpark tomorrow. They have had such fun eating, laughing, going to the spa (mom's bathroom with candles) to have their feet soaked and then mini-facials.

I am very proud to have Myranda as my daughter. God really blessed my life by allowing me to be her mom. She is quiet, one who thinks of others and helps out when someone is in need, she treats others how she wants to be treated, she's a great student, an awesome soccer player, and plays the flute, but most importantly she's a daughter to the King of Kings!

Happy Birthday, We love you!!!!

Myranda All Dressed Up

Myranda went to the Valentine's dance a couple weeks ago. We had so much fun shopping for her dress! I made her an appt. to get her hair done as several of her friends had done. She met up with several friends to eat before they went to the dance. She is turning into such a beautiful young lady. Just this year she has really began to grow up on me.

My Cheerleader

Myranda is a 7th grade cheerleader this year. She is on the Aggies cheer squad for her school. This made her happy since her dad went to A&M and she considers herself an Aggie too. She had her first football game to cheer at this past Saturday. I didn't get any pictures of her on the field because it was raining. Actually she only cheered for about 15 minutes and they called the game off due to the weather. This weekend I will get some of her on the field.

She has done so well balancing school, playing tennis at school, band, cheer, youth group at church, AWANA's and her most favorite sport of all-SOCCER. She is such a great daughter and we are very proud of her.

Spring Soccer

Spring soccer began about a month ago. However, since we have had so much rain, we have had to cancel games more often than we have played. I have only been able to attend one of Payton's and one of Jacob's games due to cancelled games and the conference I attended. Shayle enjoys watching them play. Darrel is coaching both Jacob and Payton's team, which means every time we have to cancel games and pictures, I get to call all the parents on both teams.

Magic Time Machine

We had a great time celebrating Arron and Shayle's birthdays at Magic Time Machine. Woody was our waiter and the kids had fun eating in the library. We went the night before Shayle had surgery.

Getting Back To Herself

Shayle is doing well at home. She has been able to eat soft foods and she is talking. Some kids do not talk for a little while afterwards because they have to get used to the way their mouth feels. We will have to wait 6 weeks before starting speech therapy. The surgeon wants us to wait until all the swelling goes down. She has lost 3 lbs over the past 4 days, which she should put back on once the soreness goes away.

I took some pictures of the kids in the blue bonnets, however Shayle wasn't feeling that great. These were outside my in-laws house. I used to take these pictures every spring of Arron and Myranda until we moved away from Texas.
