Our caboose, our final purchase, our BABY turned 14 and loves being a young woman! She thinks she's pretty big stuff, though we all know she's still a half-pint; But she's a pretty awesome person, and I think the whole clan joins in wishing her well (thanks to those who called) as she embarks on the year when she:
~Can start driving (learner's permits are still an option at 14 in ND - but don't worry, she won't be on the roads anytime soon;-)
~Can go to dances
~May have/attend boy/girl parties
~Becomes a Mia Maid
~Finally gets a phone! (I know, sibs, it seems we're spoiling the baby; it IS one of those things that's moved downward age-wise. But it's a convenience for Mom, Dad and Mel as much as a "keeping up with peers" device for her (and she's still got more limitations and less perks than anyone...just ask her!)
Suzie's doing good things in her life. She's got her share of quirks and faults, like the rest of us humans, but we want her to know, as she wanders into the world of more responsibility and accountability, that we love her and are proud of her!
Happy Birthday, Suzie!
After a school choir concert, with Alyssa, her next-door friend from baby-hood, who's an easy foot taller now!
A quilt she made for a YW project, with help from a couple of seasoned quilters in the ward
Basking in the sun: one of her favorite things...

Cute pics! So the bottom pic w/straight hair really threw Mr. Xander, he first thought it was AJ, and then Mel and when I said Suzie he kinda grinned. We clearly need to see you guys more often!! Great post!
Gorgeous quilt! Fun pics. And how on earth did you get rid of those gorgeous curls?! Pretty, any way at all!
