As I was at  work (meaning, my work in the medical field!) I received a phone call from a friend whose daughter has been in my Primary Activity Day's since she turned 8.  She wanted to plan on something special for Shannon, so, she thought it would be fun for me and Shannon to spend her birthday afternoon together and have a photo shoot! Well, you don't have to twist my arm Mary or ask me twice to spend the afternoon with your sweet daughter Shannon.

Birthdays are the biggest deal ever in the Bledsoe home, so, I was completely stoked to make Shannon's Birthday a little more special. We went and picked out balloons in her favorite color before the shoot and got hot chocolate after the pictures were all done. She was the biggest trooper EVER, and after telling her exactly that a million times, she finally asked, "What is a trooper?!" It was FRIGID cold and WINDY and yet she smiled with ease and did what I asked! (I even stopped at an old car lot and asked if she wouldn't mind hopping on top of one of the dusty old cars. She didn't even blink before she said, "YES!") If all of my subjects were like you Shannon!

The day was fabulous in my eyes, I hope the day was pretty special to Shannon too!

Happy 10th Birthday Shannon! You are something special!

I am the lucky lady who gets to spend 2 hours a month with these girls at my home! I get my girly fix, my abundance of hugs and laughter from these sweet, sassy, energetic girls. I wouldn't have it any other way! My boys sort of (insert sarcasm!) love them too. (meaning, my boys look forward to Activity Days EVERYDAY!)

Thank you girls for brightening my life and being a wonderful example to me and my boys!

Love,

Sister Bledsoe
