14th Birthday

Today is Cristin’s  14th birthday.   It just doesn’t seem possible that it’s been 14 years since our baby girl was born.   Back in February, I did a birthday post for my boys so it’s only fair to put up some birthday photos of Cristin.

Here we are… 14 years ago today.    She was sucking her thumb within minutes of being born.   I even have an ultrasound picture of her with her thumb in her mouth.

After having two boys, we were so excited to have a girl in the house.

This day was one of my top 5 favorite days of all time.   Nothing competes with the days when my kids were born.   Smile

This angel costume was a gift from Grandma Shirley.

I posted lots of pictures of Katie and Cristin so you can see how much the girls have changed.       Katie is 3  1/2 months older than Cristin.

Cristin was a scrawny little thing.    I had many conversations  with the doctor over my concern for her small size.    The doctor never seemed alarmed at all.

This is one of my favorite pictures.   We were having our traditional  Mother’s Day cookout at the lake.     Punkin went with us.    Punkin was about 2 years old in this picture.

Soccer was her sport for a while.   She eventually gave that up for softball.

This was her first year to be a pitcher.    She’s quite good at it as well.

Softball season 2013.   This is her team picture that I took a few nights ago.   This was the last game of the season.  

14th Birthday

Cristin wanted a manicure for her birthday, so I took her and Katie  to get their nails done.   Look how much they have changed.   They are growing up way too fast.

And here she is on her 14th birthday.    With the exception of a  terrible case of the “boy crazies” and an abnormal love for her cell phone…she is absolutely amazing.   Smile

Happy 14th Birthday!!!!   Smile
