Baleigh is on my heart alot today because she had a very unfortunate thing happen to her this weekend. She has been working really hard lately babysitting to make her own money so that she can buy the things that she wants, makeup, clothes, purses, etc. You get the drill if youu have teenage girls. I have been so proud of her. She had been looking at a purse on the internet called "The Sac, sp?" She found one not long ago at Marshalls and bought it with her own money. We went to a birthday party this weekend and apparently someone stole her purse. She also had her wallet with her babysitting money in it:<( It breaks my heart for her and I know that she is so sad. It also makes me want to slightly KILL the person that stole it. This is baby girl that we are talking about.
So, I chose to start with her since my heart is heavy for her. Baleigh was born on July 7, 1998. She was the girl I had been waiting on. She was practically perfect in every way as Mary Poppins would say... She is your all around girly girl if I have ever saw one. She tried to play soccer a couple of years ago but determined that you had to run and sweat in order to play and so she gave that up really quickly. She cheered for Sharks for 4 years and done wonderful at that but she gave that up several years ago because it was a huge "Time Hog". She is one of the sweetest girls that I know and just has the greatest heart.
She is growing up so quickly and becoming a young lady. It is killing me and Payton both. She turned 13 in July. She is in 8th grade this year here at home and she is the one that I don't even have to tell to start their schoolwork. In fact she usually does days and days of work in advance. She has a really big interest in fashion and photography. For her birthday she asked for a "nice" camera and so that is what we got her. She takes some of the most unique pictures I have ever seen to be so young. She just has the eye for different things and so to show you how proud I am of her I am going to post a few on here.
Pretty talented for a 13 year old. She blows me away..... Of course I am probably a little biased. LOL
So to my baby girl.... I LOVE YOU and I am so proud of the Godly young lady you are becoming.
Here is a link to one of her favorite singers right now..... Be ready!!!!

Mandi~I just have to say 1st of all the second I started reading this Baleighh started talking to me on facebook and I thought "Wow that's ironic". She is the sweetest girl, and while reading that it reminded me of Cheyenne, doing her homework in advance and not playing soccer due to sweating...lol I can NOT believe someone stole her purse! Makes me very sad!! Anyways~ Love your blog! Look forward to reading more!!
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot to say WOW yes she is talented for 13 yrs old... I think i will have to look her up for some pix!!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought it funny that you have such manly men in your house and then there's Baleigh-the true girly girl. She certainly didn't get the "follow in your brother's footsteps and be a tomboy" gene! I swear that girl knows more about makeup brands than I do. :-)
