Laynie!!!

Doesn't love girl shoes. oh yeah, they got muddy but we found a frog!


















These sisters love each other soooo much!


Yeah, that's her doing her thing!
Snakes name is Squish

That's her being launched forward.
She's in charge of this crew!
Can ya see her dangling like a spider?

her caption is "I love my life"

Thursday is Laynie's birthday! She hates it when I call her that in public so for you all, don't. She turns 20! L is definitely my "unexpected" child. She was the most surprise pregnancy, we had just moved to California and didn't even have a house to live in yet. Being a third child she just set out on her own from the beginning. Despite an extreme illness as a baby where she spent 19 days in the hospital, 14 on a respirator she has been extremely healthy. She has always had such extreme interests in views as compared to D and I. She is our "tree hugger", I have photo proof! She is super strong physically, spiritually and in her determination and values. She has a great set of friends and is fiercely loyal to them. Her group of high school friends were all guys and are all on missions. She writes to them regularly and visits and contacts their mothers. She's always loved "critters" and when the opportunity came to present reptiles shows she was ready. She already had so much knowledge that learning the fun facts and jokes was easy. She worked as a receptionist for me at the salon for a couple of years but didn't really like it but has been a lifeguard for three years and enjoys that. That and her music prepared her for her summer job as a river guide which she LOVES. She has more whit than any four people. Never a dull moment when Laynie is around.
