16 years, 6 months, and 26 days I had the honor of being her Momma
on Earth
And...I still am That is a gift that no one can ever take from me
From toddler to teenager
Kristin never met a stranger
Friends with anyone that would be her friend
Loving!! She was the most loving child
Full of kisses and hugs for all
I cant remember a time that I didn't see
Kristin not only smiling and greeting someone
but would also hug them
Even if she had just seen the 2 hours previous
Kristin was 7 years old when I had my next daughter Ashley I use to pick at her about how she would have loved to be the only child so all the attention would be on her and she agreed, of course But she loved her lil' sister Ashley She couldn't wait until she could change diapers I didn't mind at all Then the stage of "Get out of my room" soon followed Ashley wanted to be just like her Dress like her, Hang out with her
Then, lil' brother Jake came along
6 years after Ashley Yes, I spaced them apart good And a baby brother she got 100% boy all the way Now it was "Momma, Get him out of my room!" Kristin was such a big help She could now do chores, baby sit and before long, run errands WOW, how time flies
When Kristin hit high school It was a whirlwind... Endless phone calls So many friends to keep up with A hand full of boyfriends Her grades were still good Not honor roll as in grades 1-8 But she still was in the reach program She was tested for the gifted in grade 5 She continued in the program on into high school
She joined the color guard (flag team) with her school band in 9th grade She was so proud she made the cut One of the best they had I might add I went to every game possible to watch her perform Parades and competitions too She loved the flag team She continued on for her 3rd year
She was voted into the Youth Leadership program in grade 11 Not sure if she realized what an honor But I sure did She had taken her first part of graduation test in 2004 The writing exam I had not seen her excited about a grade in a long time She was in tears when she came home with her
results She scored a 582 Percentile rank of 97 WOW, I am so proud of her
Every child goes thru a collector phase She is a butterfly freak! She also likes monkeys but Butterflies is her main obsession Her entire room is covered with them the walls, the ceiling, collectibles not to mention endless t-shirts Her car had butterfly seat covers steering wheel cover, floor mats cd visor holder, air fresheners Front tag and decaled back windshield Everyone knew of her love for butterflies I believe every flower at her services had butterflies in them
Kristin wasn't one to want to stay on the go She would rather be home talking on the phone or on the computer
Kristin's favorite color is light green.
Her favorite candy is jolly ranchers.
Her favorite movies are moulin rouge and la bamba.
Her favorite car is a Ford Mustang.
Other than butterflies, she loves monkeys.
She loved her blue jeans and t-shirts,
nothing dressy (just like mom).
She loves silver jewelry, not gold.
She would rather sleep than shop.
She got her belly buttoned pierced
for her 16th birthday and passed out.(funny)
She NEVER stayed out of school
for any reason, even when she was sick.
I could talk forever about her But I will conclude with her
SMILE You never seen her without one As you look thru her pics Look at that beautiful smile All the friends that have came to me with stories ALWAYS
talk about her brilliant smile
