Yup, Jessica is 11 today. Hard to believe that 11yrs ago I was holding my first baby girl. A troubled pregnancy early on, nothing that terrible, but constantly monitored incase of any true problems.... and here she was. This tiny bundle of joy. I couldn't believe I had a baby girl!! My sweet Jessica Lynn. She has grown up into a beautiful young lady. She is very helpful, considerate, and generous. She's a parents dream. Okay, enough sugar coating? LOL Nahh.... I'm not, I'm very serious. She's a great kid. I guess we're very lucky, as all our kids are really well behaved, smart, and polite. Jessica is all of the above and more and this is HER day today.
Saturday we had her party at the Bowling Alley... she had 3 good girlfriends show up and we had a blast watching the kids all bowl. They played some video games and goofed around, ate and had cake/icecream.... it was really a nice time for all the family and friends that attended.
She got some wonderful gifts, and even a little spending money that is burning a hole in her pocket :o)
We took some great pics from the party, I hope to post a few here later on today or this week.
On a side note.... I found this pretty amusing. The girls were supposed to be getting their room cleaned (hey, they're not PERFECT kids!!) and it wasn't getting very far. I reminded Jess that they get out early Tuesday, that we could make a trip to the NEW Target and she could spend her money... Sydney questions this, what does she need to spend money for??? It's her Birthday money I reminded her,... she wants to buy something. So, I thought a minute,... "if you get in and help out really good, I'm sure I could give you a little bit to spend too" "Nah, I don't need to spend any money" ???? She's 7. Smart lil thing. She totally shrugged it off like Bah cleaning!! I don't need anything THAT bad. I then reminded her that she had some money from the toothfairy.... she could spend that.... and she reminded ME that she was SAVING this money.... "so I can buy a car when I'm older" :o)
