Happy 13th birthday, Halle!



Y'all.....  I have a teenager.  A TEENAGER!!!!  I can't believe it.


I made Halle promise me when she was about five years old that when she got to be a teenager she wouldn't act like a typical teenager, you know, with all the eye rolling and sighing and moodiness.  LOL.  So far she's kept her promise!  ......Mostly..... She's such a stinkin' sweet kid.

Well happy birthday, my teenage daughter.  You love Pinterest/DIY stuff: making your own face creams, body scrubs, cleansing drinks, pore refiners, basically anything you can concoct out of household materials.  You also love fashion, nail art, and playing with makeup.  You're modest, though, which as a mother,  I absolutely appreciate and LOVE.  Your father appreciates that, too!  Ha!

Your favorite shows this year have been Dr. Who, Heartland, and Once Upon a Time, among others.  You love reading.  Some of the books you've read this year: Paper Towns, The Book Thief, Fault in Our Stars, and Theadore Boone: Kid Lawyer

You are an excellent swimmer.  You have really excelled this past year, being in club swimming.  You are passionate about it, and are constantly trying to improve your technique.  You even watch You Tube videos on ways to tweak your swim strokes.  I love how you love what you're good at.

You love Jesus.  This is evident in how you treat people and seek God's word.  You surround yourself with bible verses and you are humble enough to admit when you've done wrong.  I know God has great plans for you and through you.

You love animals.  You lost one of your best friends this year, Rudi, and you were completely heartbroken.
You have such a big heart for your pets.  You take the time to figure out how your pets need to be loved and what exactly they want/need.  What really cracks me up, though, is you taught our cat Parker, how to do a trick!!!

You and your friends rock at making music videos.  I'm always impressed with your creations.  You and your friends are into playing sports outside like tennis and volleyball.  Y'all also like Minecraft.  You've been to a few fun outings with them, too: Imagine Dragons concert, Dash game, canoeing, to name a few.

You don't shy away from responsibility.  You are always stepping up when it comes to babysitting, helping with dinner, and doing chores.  You're very good at handling your brother and sister when I need help.

Last, but not least, you are fun to hang out with.  You're so nerdy and goofy and witty and punny.  We have laughs together and you get my nerdiness and corny jokes.  You are down to earth and just enjoy things for what they are.  I love you so much!

Happy Birthday Halle Monster!
