GNO_9490 Hard to believe another year has gone by and you're 12!  You are so very smart, sassy, and creative.  You keep me on my toes and challenge me, but are also the so loving and tenderhearted.  I have loved watching to learn and grow over the past year.  I have enjoyed seeing you learning more about cooking and baking.  You gave me heart palpitations as you learned how to ride a dirt bike and quad... and proceeded to wipe out on the dirt bike.  You are brave and fearless and bold.  Qualities that often make my mother's heart nervous, but I am also so proud of.  You are growing to be a fierce young woman.  I am so proud of you!
