Other moments:

* played her second year in Upwards basketball and really enjoyed it. She was the tallest on her team and made a lot of baskets.

* She also had swimming lessons again and did very well. Was not afraid to jump off at all – and is learning proper swimming technique.

* We discovered that she has a God given talent for shooting things. While we were at the cabin she was the best shot with a BB gun. Shooting many pop cans off of the target. Who knew?

* We enjoyed cabin trips

* I was able to go with her to Genesis camp this year. It was a circus theme.

* She began 3rd grade this year – Her teacher is Ms. Perry and she really enjoys her. She still gets into trouble from not focusing but she gets good grades and we are very proud of her.

* We took a trip to Disneyworld with Jesse, Jeni and the kids and it was a highlight of our year. It was so much fun to have the kids at this age. The weather was a lot cooler and the crowds were a bit lighter but we’ve come to realize that Disney is always busy. We had a lot of fun!

* She was a hippie rock star for Halloween with a bunch of her friends.

* She really likes to take her headphones and listen to her music on my ipone or ipod.

* She enjoys reading and sometimes I will find her somewhere in the house reading.

* She is such a ray of sunshine. She can be a bit dramatic and unappreciative at times but for the most part she likes to please others. She loves her brother and gets him to do pretty much whatever she wants – she is very manipulative. They argue quite often but their love for each other is intense and it makes this mama’s heart glad. She LOVES to give gifts and will make them constantly. Much to my surprise she was actually asking for Barbie’s, and dolls this Christmas and I happily obliged.  Christmas was fun this year with her!! I’m so proud to be her mom – and look forward to the many fun moments that we will get together in 2014.
