My baby is 12!!

It's no seceret that I started my family SUPER young! But, I can honestly say that I wouldn't change a thing. It definately came with it's challenges, but the things that I have learned are irreplacable. So here I am, a 30 year old mom, with a 12 year old!!! Yes a 12 year old! I don't know who is freaking out more, me or Kyle ( okay, for sure Kyle). In the last month I have purchased bras, mascara, a dance dress, and registered for Jr. High....all for my little Kesli, who is not really so little. I watched as my baby was so excited for Young Womens and go to the temple to do baptisms for the dead and I thought of how lucky I am that of all the things that we could have done for her birthday she chose to be in the temple. The friday after her birthday we threw a little surprise party for her and invited some of her closest friends! The next week I sat in the school gym decorated for Valentines day and watched my baby dance with a BOY! I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that.......but Kyle is! I know that no matter what I do she is going to grow up. I guess that I really do feel blessed that she is such a good girl. She always gets straight A's! I have never had to ask her to do her homework or clean her room. She is a wonderful babysitter and big sister ( most of the time). I know that from here on out it is not going to get any easier, but I do look forward to what an amazing girl she will become, despite some fo the bratty moments and the drama!
