Wordless Wednesday - Start of the Season

Alexis "The Birthday Girl"

17 years ago ....I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.  I was only 18 when I had her, most people know that her father went to prison just before she was born, I was an instant single teenage mother.  BUT, I had my amazing mother as my support system.

I will have to admit looking back on it all I would have to admit I did a damn good job raising her.  I've done it on my own, the the help I got from her father was basically a year, he got out of prision when she was 12 and was sent back.  He left me with a hurt little girl that I had to piece back together...I hate that I let him hurt her but I think it made her stronger.  She see through his bs and promises now.  I have a strong, smart and beautiful young woman who has such a bright future.  She's in honor classes at magna school for Nursing, she be taking duel credit classes for her senior year and when she graduates she'll already be able to work in the hospital while she continues on to college for Nursing.  She's strong and athletic, she is an amazing volleyball player.

She makes me so proud to be her momma!

All this talk about football......so it's time for some Volleyball pictures of my baby!

Potential...She just might have it.....

Well I am doing good with every other day I see, I had yesterday's post all planned out in my head but we were at my daughter's volleyball practice and I by the time I got home I was just too tire to blog. So the post I had planned will be delayed.

I will however talk about my oldest daughter Alexis, she will be 16 in September and is just one of the lights of my life.She's outgoing and crazy as I don't know what, but so full of personality, and I love her so. She's very athletic and very much into volleyball. She plays for her high school but is in the process of trying out to be on a club team. A very expensive investment might I add, I say investment because she could have a chance, if she's good enough to get scholarships during her seasons playing club....free money for college, YES, where do I sign up? lol

Now naturally at her practice the other day I had my camera and you know I had to get some shots, so I though I would share a few of her in action here tonight.

Spring High School - Homecoming

So my daughter is a freshman in high school and she attended her first Homecoming dance. Before her date got there I just had to do a mini session with her, she was looking so grown up and so beautiful. When her date did arrive, he showed up at the door with beautiful flowers for her, he was such a gentleman. I was able to get a few of them together as well.
