She's Growing Up

My first baby is growing up and has taken the step towards young adulthood and it makes me so sad. She has decided she doesn't need toys anymore and has decided to hold an auction on Ebay to get rid of them so she can buy some clothes and shoes...yes, I said it, clothes and shoes. When did this happen? She is not even ten and would rather spend her time laying on her bed listening to music and designing new outfits for her future career. I knew this was coming but I didn't realize it was going to be so soon!

She has made it through her first week of grounding, only 1 week and 2 days to go before it's over. I have never had to ground her this long and I hated doing it but I had no other choice. She was pretty upset last night since Grey's Anatomy was on and she had to miss it, but I think she has finally started getting the picture because she hasn't raised her voice to us in a few days.

Well, next Friday is our last day of school and she is so excited. We have finished a lot of our subjects already but we have all final tests next Friday. Taylor and Jimmy will start their homeschooling group in August and I believe Isaiah will be joining as well, but he is still in pre-school so I doubt he will be able to stay with Jimmy. The kids will have field trips once a month and various activities weekly as well such as: hands on science class, P.E. I look foward to this and they do as well. Like I have mentioned before, Taylor will continue with math through the summer, maybe a page or so a day, just to keep her mind fresh. She got great grades this year and I will be posting them at the end of next week when everything is said and done.

Happy Easter

Taylor really loved her Easter, but hey, she loves every Holiday. After being sick for the last few days she was very glad to be over it by Easter. She joined in the egg hunt and even helped the little kids out. Taylor enjoyed a nice bike ride around the neighborhood and spent most of the time cracking jokes and making all of us laugh.

Brad Paisley~The World

Every time I hear this song I think of my beautiful little girl and all the things we go through when we hit adolescents and even adulthood. Taylor, I love you very, very much and I want you to know you mean "The World" to me!
