They just need to stop growing up!!!!

OK it is past midnight and I really should be cuddled up in bed but I was just reminiscing a little bit because we just got back the girls school photos for this year and I couldn't believe how old they looked in them. I know everyone always says this but they really are growing up too fast!!! I just want them to stop it! We measured Hailey tonight and she is just about a 1/2 and inch away from me (of course she has passed me by in shoe size already). Funny thing is her hip bone is already about 2 inches higher than mine. She was blessed with loooooong legs of her dads, lucky girl! And Kyla....boy she has matured so much this past year too. Gosh, I think I am going to cry! I truly am so proud of the young women they are becoming though! Both girls are giving up their Friday night to help other kids. Kyla's Girl Scout troop is hosting a Fall party for kids at a homeless shelter. We have been collecting costumes and clothes and the girls have all planned a fun carnival style party for these kids who are going through so much trauma in their lives. Hailey and her friend are also going to be helpers for our churches annual fall party this Friday night. It will be a little crazy trying to juggle both events but it makes me so proud that they are both so eager to help out at these events!!!

Now see how fast they grow.....
