C8 is 8teen

Yes, it happened. Not my firstborn to turn 18, but another one! It just keeps happening. The first one is such a big deal and you anticipate it coming for a long time and then, the next one turns 18 just like that!

Last month Caitlin turned 18. Legal. Adult. Can someone slow this down please?!?

Here's a little trip down memory lane in celebration of Caitlin.

6 months old

With older sister and younger sister. What a trio!

One of my favorite school pics--1st grade

Standing in front of the Joseph and Hyrum statue in Carthage

This is from changing the tire a few weeks ago.
She just can't help having fun and getting a little dirty!

The fake man. This was at the heart of "car wars" last year at the high school. She made this man and put him under a friend's car. This kind of escalated and grew until it involved many kids and many cars and ended with Cait's car's front seat being taken out and replaced with a toilet. (The ketchup and mayo packets on his face were the planned special effects.)

Our Caitlin. Her birth was easy, her temperment always easy going. Always up for a laugh and always getting in on the joke. Amazingly organized--loves to keep things neat and tidy. Always looks for ways to help others; she was born with it. Looking forward to being a nurse or a teacher because she loves children so much. A friend to all.

That baby picture still looks just like her! She is adorable and very sweet - has turned into a wonderful, strong woman!

And the best babysitter EVER!!!!!! We love Cait and our Sophie Kait's name is spelled like that because of her. If I could have my daughters grow up to be as wonderful and loving and giving and kind and sure of themselves as Caitlyn, nothing would make me happier. Happy Birthday!
