My oldest Baby Goes away to camp!

Well today we dropped Juliana off at Girl Scout Camp in Conroe at Misy Meadows Camp. She will get to swim and horseback ride and all sorts of stuff as well as make new friends. Today is Sunday July 27, 2008 and we'll pick her up Friday evening 8/1/08...this will be a LONG week for mommy for sure.

It was very hot when we dropped her off...in the 100's outside...OUCH!

Here are some pictures of us dropping her off and her cabin and such:

The banner at the front gate of camp welcoming everyone to camp:

My Baby is 3!

Well today is Bella's 3rd Birthday and I can't believe she's 3 already...where did the time go? Good grief, she so big now and into everything and just loves life to the fullest.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

This is her on her birthday hamming it up for the camera! What a cheese head!

Home Rules Poem

We have this poem hanging in our house in the entry to the hallway for everyone to read:

Always be honest
Count your blessings
Bear each others burdens
Forgive and Forget
Be kind and tender Hearted
Comfort one another
Keep your promises
Be supportive of one another
Be true to each other
Look after each other
Treat each other like you treat your friends
but most important:
Love one Another deeply from the heart.

I can't believe she's 9 today!

Well today is the big day, my baby girl is 9 years old today...man oh man where did the time go? It seemed like just yesterday she was a little baby fitting snuggly in my arms sleeping. AGH! I'm so proud of her yet ambivalent about her growing up at the same time...is that possible? So many mixed emotions about it all it's crazy!

Well I guess I can't stop time and the aging process must go on. I can only hope that I did the best I could and taught her to do the right things and make the right choices in life and help guide her in any way I can.

Anyhow here are some pictures of my 9 year old daughter from her birthday party this past weekend...enjoy...and Happy Birthday Juliana, I love you!

My birthday Girl, Juliana, Miss 9 year old!

Before the party headed to Libby Lu:

After their make-overs at Libby Lu, simply beautiful, wouldn't you agree?
