kaitlyn's birthday

"The Bond between a mother and daughter is love"

I love this saying, one of my nieces had it engraved on a bracelet she gave her mother
on her wedding day.

mother's and daughters go through such a roller coaster ride of life together from the time
they are born till they grow up and become mothers of their own children.

I wrote in a earlier blog about my difficulties of becoming pregnant when i was blessed with my son after his birth I was told that I would not have anymore children, but two years later out of the blue I was blessed with my daughter Kaitlyn who today on June 3rd, turned 15

Kaitlyn is not like I was a 15, she is such a level headed young lady, knows what she wants out of her life and I am certain that she will achieve all that she sets out to accomplish.
she is strong in her beliefs and convictions and has the love of the Lord in her and is living for
him ( makes a mom happy) because most kids at her age are doing something else.

she is a beautiful gal inside and out and I love the way she sees life looking through her eyes
even though we have our moments of drama (all mother's and daughters do )she is my and will always be my daughter and I her mother.

we went shopping in San Jose ( one of kailtyn's favorite things to do!) we had fun she bought a digital camera to replace one that got stolen last year on her 8th grade graduation, and then looked around for some thing new to wear ( every girl needs that!) then the four of us
went out to dinner at the olive garden (one of her favorite places, since she is a vegetarian)
came home and had her baskin robbins birthday cake (she only likes vanilla ice cream)

all in all she had a great 15th birthday and before going to sleep last night she did inform her
father that next year she will need a "car" for her birthday!!!

teenagers got to love them!!!
