My Baby is 17.

Yesterday, my oldest boy celebrated his Golden Birthday. 17. SEVENTEEN!!!


 DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS?!?!?!?

 Well, for one, he can now go see rated R movies, or buy them or rent them. But, you guys, in one year he is officially going to be an adult! Legally, anyway...those of us who have made it beyond 18 know that at 18 we were, really, no where close to being an adult.

 Anyway, this kid? He blows me away. He was thrown into a less than ideal situation with unwed, teenage parents and has thrived. Totally and completely grown into an amazing young man.

He is responsible, dependable (except when it comes to putting his clothes away), reliable and kind.

 Not to mention wicked smart, incredibly handsome and an amazing athlete. All of which, of course, he gets from me. (Inside joke...I like to tell him he got all of his athletic skills from me, the most uncoordinated person on the planet.)

This kid is gonna go places in life. He's going to make a name for himself and find successes beyond anything I could've ever hoped for him.

 I am so proud to be his mom and I can't wait to see what he does in life!

 Happy Birthday, sweet boy...I love you so much, kiddo!

    They grow up fast. I'm thankful I have another 10 more years before I get to this point. I'm not ready for them to grow up yet.

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!
