T's Birthday Party!

On Sunday Tiana turned "18"! I can't believe it!! When I first met Tiana she was four years old and the cutest thing I had ever seen! She was very sweet but had a little spit fire in her for sure. I love that about her to this day because she can definitely take care of herself! She has held her own with these boys, and knows how to get them right where she wants them! It's actually fun to watch...sorry boys... it is! Tiana has always been a sweetheart though. When she was four yrs old I heard her crying in the bathroom and then she came running to me just sobbing. I asked her what was the matter, thinking the boys clobbered her or something. Well, she was just so sad but was finally able to tell me that she brought in her worm that she found outside to give him a bath, and he went down the drain. We went and found another worm and of course I had to explain that worms like dirt etc...She was just wanting him to be clean. That is one of my favorite stories about her....My other favorite stories about her is when she actually ate a worm because the boys said she couldn't cuz she was a girl. She just picked it up and let it slide right down. She Rocks! Tiana is a wonderful daughter who has such a kind heart and has always been so helpful to me. It has been such a privilege to be her mother and watch her learn and grow into a young woman. Here are a few of my favorite things about Tiana!

* Her smile....she lights up the room with it and it's contagious!

* Her insane natural ability to take care of others...she does it so naturally and sometimes forgets to take care of personal needs to be there for someone else.

* Her awesome dances...every now and again she'll be dancing by herself and look like a total goof! She doesn't care, she just keeps on dancing!

* Her long arms! She can wrap them around you with the best hugs ever and also great for taking and pinning your brothers down. Don't let the skinniness fool you you...she can throw a good punch!

*The way she can find the possitive in almost every bad situation!

* She is a huge help and can and will step in whenever I need her and doesn't ever complain!

* She is an amazing bargain shopper and knows how to find good deals.

*Her love for kids and how she is a natural with them. She really truly loves them and will make an amazing mother some day!


Tiana is just an overall great daughter and we are very proud of her!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIANA & WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
