Tori's Birthday Slideshow!

Happy Birthday Tori !!!

Here we are celebrating your Birthday again, you’re 11 years old now and turning into such a beautiful young girl. You have such a big heart and your always willing to help someone in need, unless there‘s blood, then you panic and get sick to your stomach. Your just like me, only I've learned to not panic until it’s all over because you have no choice when it’s your own kids. I know you will one day make a wonderful mother because of your love for others. You have come a long way since you were 5 years old sitting on our front porch dissecting the frog to see if it was going to have babies.
You have always liked being in the spotlight, even when you were only 4 years old and singing over and over again, “I want to be a star”, You loved to entertain and when I would turn the camera off, you would tell me just one more song. Even just taking your pictures you would pose, I would tell you to say cheese and you would make the funniest grins. You also enjoy taking pictures and filming, like all the times you would make Tylee and Taegan act in your movie you made up while we were gone. Maybe one day you will have a career in the film industry.
But for now, you have a long road ahead of you and you’re going to face many challenges and those challenges may try and lead you astray. You need to stay on the straight and narrow path and remember who you are and where you’re going.
It’s never too early to set goals for yourself. We are proud that you are our daughter. We love you very much and want you to always remember we’re here for you.
Live for Today, Plan for Tomorrow, and Remember Yesterday.
We love you Tori!

Happy Birthday Toni !!!

Your turning 14 today, I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms. You have grown up so fast, your not so little anymore. You are so beautiful inside and out and we are proud of who you've become and what you stand for. You were always so determined to get what you wanted as a little girl and always a leader not a follower.

I remember a time when I was trying to teach you how to count so we were counting your fingers and your toes and we would count ten toes together and then I would tell you, "You have ten toes, okay", and you would say "okay", with your little raspy voice, then I would ask you, "how many toes do you have"? Without skipping a beat you yell "NINE". We did that over and over again, you never did figure out how many toes you had but you were determined and nobody was going to change your mind.

I know you will be able to accomplish what ever you want in life, set your goals high and don't let anything hold you back from your dreams. Be proud of who you are and what you stand for and the values you strive to live, faith, divine nature, individual worth, knowledge, choice and accountability, good works, integrity, and virtue.

WE LOVE YOU
You will always be our Little Girl

Happy Birthday!

Basketball Season

Here are a few pictures of Toni's basketball games, I'm lucky I got the ones I did because its so hard to take pictures and or video while your watching the games. I missed some really good plays because I was taking pictures.

She is in the center of most of these pictures #10.

pregame pep talk

Toni looks so small jumping up next to that girl. Her favorite part about basketball is stuffing the ball.

She's the one in the middle off the ground.

She's shooting the ball in this one, she made that shot too!
