The Southern Austin's: Family Beach trip and S is 6!!

Hello blogger land- its me- the slacker blogger gal. I do my best:0)...which is pretty stinky I suppose but oh well. Lots has been going on- good stuff- learning lots- God is teaching me lots and I am learning how imperfect I am daily and I am good with that. It's all about learning to be the best me I can be and being the momma my kids need me to be and the wife my hubby needs me to be. That fulfills me. Thank you Lord for forgiving me of all my imperfections. So, we digress, back to my blog, My sweet sassy, middle, red headed coo coo bird S turned 6. We had a week of celebrating her- we went to see Smurfs- the movie and to eat her birthday dinner at Sweet Tomatoes- her choice. So yum. Then, for her part, she was able to invite 4 of her buddies plus her sister and have a party at one of her favorite places, The American Girl Bistro at Northpoint Mall. She had a ball. The hard part was choosing her buddies because she wanted to invite everyone- such a sweet kiddo. But she managed to pick some and we had a ball. Just to document, here are some of my favorite things about my S girl...

- her ability to entertain herself (and have a blast) for hours.

- her love of her sisters (both of them!)

- her kindness to others

- her love of art

- give the kid some crayons and some paper and she is one happy kid

- even when she doesn't want to do something (summer math)- she does it anyway with a happy heart

- she loves to wear dresses and get all fancy

- she also loves to get down and dirty and play outside and pick up worms and bugs and make houses for them

- she loves her family so much

- she loves her cousins and grandparents so much

There are so many things I love about this child- I could go on. Thank you Lord for choosing me to be her momma. I am so blessed that I get to watch her grow up. I love you S!!! Do not Fear!!
