Jadyn Turns 9

Today my sweet Jadyn turned 9! The crazy thing is......I vividly remember turning 9. My mom planned a surprise birthday party for me - she pulled ALL the girls in my 4th grade class out of school early as part of the surprise. The part she didn't know was how much that scarred me. OK, it really didn't but I do remember how I felt. I was so bummed that on my birthday, when the office called down for a "certain number" of girls, my teacher (of whom I was a teacher's pet) sent ALL the girls in my class - except me. On. My. Birthday. Ugh. We did nothing that painful today. We went to the pool for the day. Jadyn wanted Mexican white trash for lunch. Then we went to the outlet mall looking for basketball shoes, and ended up with new tennis shoes for the birthday girl. They we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner (Jadyn's choice - ick). Presents, cake and ice cream......then lots and lots of snuggles! I love this girl!!!
