Sierra Turns 17

I can clearly remember turning 17.  Yes, that was a while ago, but I remember this odd feeling of adulthood was around the corner. I no longer felt like a child teen, I felt like my childhood was coming to a close and the choices I was making were more important.  Watching Sierra, as she transitions into "adulthood" is a bit surreal.  When we had Sierra we thought we might be done having children, he he he.  Had we stopped there we would almost be empty nesters.  I am glad God placed having more children on our hearts and am thankful for all the children He has given us.

My baby girl is growing up and making big grown up decisions for her future.  I am so thankful for the beautiful woman of God Sierra is turning into and believe she is following God's direction for her future.  She just finished up a couple more college classes and received A+'s.  Sierra has a desire to do her best at all she places her hands to and God is blessing her in that.  God bless you Sierra, keep pressing onward to the goals God has placed in your heart and you are going to do amazing.

Here are a couple pictures from Sierra and Danika's party.  They shared a party with their friends and had a wonderful time.  Have a great day and God Bless.

They started out playing ultimate frisbee 

But it was quite windy

so it turned into "ultimate volleyball"

I must say the chocolate ganache filled Butterfinger cupcakes were amazing
