Happy 12th Birthday Sara!! (sorry it is late)

So were do I begin, my 1st born is 12 years old. This is such a big step in her life. I remember the day fondly. I became a mom for the 1st time. All my fears about raising a daughter first has been unbelievably demolished. Altough it hasn't come without stumbling blocks. It would definitly had been nice if Heavenly Father would give you a handbook to help with all the little bumps in the road. But I have to say it has been worth every bump, bruise, tear, screaming, temper tatrum, endless hugs and kisses, and snuggles. Here is a look of the past and present of everything Sara.

 Winning 3rd place. It was her first time entering anything in the fair.

First time playing soccer. She ended up breaking her wrist about 3games in, but she made a great

cheerleader!

Her first time making dinner. All this for her Faith in God project. YUMMY!!!

 Love her!!!! I have one of us when she was about 4yrs old. wish i could scan it.

 One of many, many, many awards. She is such a hard worker.

                        First time trying cheerleading. She was perfect for it. Such great school spirit!

     Self- portrait! Beautiful!!

Sara I'm so proud of the young woman you have become and I'm excited and look forward to what the future holds for you. Your spirit is beyond measure. My hope for you is that you enjoy the time that you have ahead of you and that you always remember who you are!!! Love MOM
