Happy Birthday McKenzie!!!

Eighteen years ago today I became a mama. It was one of the most exciting days of my life! I honestly don't know where the time has gone. As the old saying goes, when it comes to parenting the days are long but the years are short. As a mama of both a grown child on down to a baby I really understand that saying! It goes by way too fast though!

With her first horse Abasha.

She was twelve here. This was the first time I let her powder her face and wear lip gloss! :)

Getting her purity ring on her thirteenth birthday. I thought she was SO big!

This was the day she got the horse that she won through a 4-H writing contest. That was an exciting day!

Her first love...

Getting her hope chest on her sixteenth birthday. Her little brothers have her wrapped around their fingers. :o)

Her senior year!

Happy Birthday McKenzie! We love you lots and are so glad the Lord blessed us with you eighteen years ago!

A blessing from Daddy:

Proverbs 31:25 "Strength and honor are her clothing: and she shall rejoice in time to come."

McKenzie you are a strong and honorable young lady. You are strong in your spirit and you hold to what is right. You honor us with your actions and your words. Because you are strong and honorable you will rejoice in your next phase of life. May God bless you! Love, Daddy
