| Happy Birthday 🎂 |
My little baby girl is 21! I remember mommy and baby girl afternoon naps together. I remember numerous tea parties and dress up on rainy days. There were stroller jogs to the park, picnics at the zoo, story times at the library, and gymnastic lessons. It makes me so happy that A remembers all these too so fondly! She even has a playlist on her phone titled "childhood memories" where she has all the songs we listened to while she was growing up. She currently has about 200 songs on it! She is now a full fledged adult that has graduated college and is starting her career. She has grown into a very capable young woman. She always had horrible anxiety as a child and to see her out grow it and do things for herself is just amazing. She still will ask for guidance about somethings, but I think parents will always be asked for guidance occasionally by their children. However, just because we give her advice doesn't mean she'll follow it and that's just fine with us. It's her life. She wanted to celebrate turning 21 by doing something that noone in our family has ever done. We went ax throwing! The six of us( C & H went too) went to a venue in Sherman that has all kinds of stuff to do including ax throwing. I reserved an hour for us and at first I thought that would be way too long. It took a bit for us to get comfortable enough for it to be fun. I'll admit the first 15 minutes were long. I was nervous about accidents and chopping someone's arm off. However, after the fear subsided and we warmed up, it was actually a lot of fun! H surprised us all by kicking our butts. She was a natural....after she got warmed up!😂 After we finished our throwing competition, we went to eat at the onsite restaurant where A ordered her first alcoholic beverage. I embarrassed her by recording it being delivered and her first sip.❤️ She asked me to share it with her so I am not too sure she actually liked it, but she did like being old enough to order it! It was a fun afternoon and we were glad that C & H got to share it with us!

| MiMi and Maisy are big helpers🥰 |

| I thought the benches were really cute. |

 |
| H & C were the best throwers!! |
 |
| You had to watch for chunks of wood flying at you....not to mention the ax rebound 😂 |
 |
| There was an art to throwing it. Sadly, the birthday girl finished last after a strong start, but she had a blast and that's all that mattered. |
 |
| Her first sip of beer....she wasn't a fan! |
 |
| We were waiting for our meal and A's first drink. |
 |
| We all had a great time 😊 |
 |
| A got a half lemonade half tea drink. It wasn't too bad, but I think she might like other things better. Their lemonade wasn't the best. |
 |
| Yes, it's been 21 years and my husband still can't spell A's name!🤣 |
