Rachel turns 12

Well my little girl is officially 12!! She had a great birthday week.It started off with a traditional St. Pattys dinner at memaws(Franks mom).Then Monday,her actual birthday, we went to see the Cardinals play the Braves with Uncle Maney(he payed for the tickets, We love Uncle Maney!!!).I have befriended the general manager of the Cardinals and he was able to give us amazing seats and also take the kids down into the dugout and out on the field pre-game to meet some players and get some autographs.They also put her name on the scoreboard during the 6th inning to say Happy Birthday.She brought her brother and her best friend Maggie.They had a ball!!!!!Then we ended the week with a 5 girl sleepover and beach during the day(no school Good Friday) and bowling that night.Followed by a 10 a.m house showing.I had a apologize to the girls on numerous occasions for having total breakdowns of the stress trying to keep the house clean.To cap off all of this excitement Rachel's friend was trying to find a home for and elderly friends Chihuahua.Well Rachel has been saving her money for a Chihuahua so guess what else now lives under my roof along with 3 kids, a 1 1/2 year old Boston terrier, a husband that thinks he is a 16 year old, and myself who feels like an 80 year old grandma......you got it a sweet little 4 year old Chihuahua.
