Yolanda


Happy Birthday Yolanda Maria Mendez

Okay, I am a few weeks late on posting this, but its summer and I have 3 kids and am going back to school. There is only so much a girl can do. ;0)
Yolanda turned 15 on August 8th. 15! Wow, that number just keeps on growing, and so does she. What a special young lady she is turning out to be. Yolanda is learning who she is and where she fits in. Yolanda enjoys reading (especially Twilight!), jewelry making, photography (oh my gosh, she has such a good eye), and cooking (if it is her idea and I am not asking her to do it). It is so exciting to see her develop new friendships and enjoy old ones. This year she had an old friend from Yakima come and stay with us her whole birthday week. Athena and Yolanda are very beautiful, intelligent, exciting young ladies. They had a blast together.
Yolanda, I love you so very much and am so very thankful that Heavenly Father trusted me to be the one to raise you and take care of you while you grow. You know how much you mean to me (I sure hope you do) I try to tell you on a daily basis. What more can I say except.....
I LOVE YOU!
