*Toadie*

My Favorite Picture...(sorry not a good picture. My scanner is not working so I took a picture of the picture, hence the glare.)
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, you are my monkey macanoodle, and lil' toadstool too!!Miss McKaela Anne was the first wonderful grand baby born into our Forbush Family. The first niece, grand baby, great-grand baby and for a brief moment, Aftons only great-great-grand baby.(She is only turning 12! I would think 16 in this picture!) Things changed when this little angel came into our lives. We saw a rough, mean cowboy turn into softy "dampa", letting a new sweet granddaughter get away with things plain ornery daddies don't allow...And she definitely was "dammas" right-hand girl, there to be snugged, loved and spoiled...Probably fed ice cream for lunch, with a side of taffy for dinner...She was spoiled, cute and full of charm.
Kinda like me?
Ahem.
I remember "TubbieTubbies" was her favorite show, and she endured every type of baby torture we could muster up. Pickle juice, lemons, flashing bright lights in her face, anything for a cute picture.And if you faked asleep, before long you could feel her little breath in your face, and she would be there, prying open your eyelids. She still is just as fun and silly to be around. Full of energy, and starting to become a beautiful young woman. When she isn't beating the boys up on the soccer field. I can't believe how much she has grown, and what an amazing girl she is, especially thanks to Momma Jen (our most cherished angel).

Ok, wow. I am feeling very sentimental lately, and I feel like I might cry right now. I promise my next post won't be so mushy mushy. It will fill your day with giggles.
Love you so very much, Miss Macanoodle, always have and always will. Love, aunt Tacy.

OKAY IF I WAS NOT TEARY BEFORE... I AM NOW. I REMEMBER HER TRYING TO PULL MY EYELASHES TO OPEN MY EYES WHEN I WOULD PRETEND TO BE ASLEEP FUNNY LITTLE CHILD. YES ON HER WAY TO BECOMING A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY UNLESS SHE IS ON THE SOCCER FIELD AND IN THAT CASE I SAY KICK BUTT! AND YES A LOT OF THANKS TO MOMMA JEN!
