Birthdays and Bouncy Pools!

Miss Jessie turned 17 on August 14th!

I made rainbow cupcakes for the occasion...enough for the whole "class"

Of course I made her pose for all the family back home!

And of course Aissa was the official taste-tester.

Our neighbor Lauren and her kids always invite Aissa to come play when they blow up the big bouncy pool. She loves it and it's great to have such a fun family across the street!

More Summer...

Showing some of her new clothes, thanks to the family!

I know, I know, you're thinking, "Are those new? They are full of holes!" Trust me, they're cool (so says the 16-year-old wearing them).

Aissa's first attempt to feed herself....mmmmm....pudding!

First haircut at a salon. She was so good!

She "reads" everywhere and anywhere...
