My daughter Cambria and I went on a shopping spree at Costco yesterday. I bought a 24 case of Monster energy drinks! What kind of mother am I, you may be asking. Well, she said if I bought them I would be the best mom ever. I asked her if that could last for at least one year and she agreed.
We are celebrating her 14th birthday at our house tonight with a group of about a dozen teenage boys and girls. The volume is going up and I am guessing the Monsters have kicked in. Scott and I are contemplating a long evening walk….do we dare leave them alone? I’ll let you know how it turned out later but for now my sanity is my priority.

Michelle- This is hilarious! Oh the things that we do for our kids to be seen as the best in their eyes. It is already starting in our household. Adaya (our three year old) just said the other day “Mommy, I think that your the best in the whole wide world” and all because I let her play in the children’s play area at the mall.
On another note- I cannot believe that Cambria is 14. Where does the time go? Please tell her that I say Happy Birthday!
Wow! I remember visiting you in Lynden when she was still a baby. Where does the time go? I’m so proud of all of our kiddos!
Happy Birthday Cambria!
Love,
Sheri
