Help us wish our dear A a very Happy 16th Birthday! Wow how time flies so fast. I remember when we went to visit with my friend L at her house when my darling daughter was around one year old and A was around three. Years passed by so quickly that our girls are now teenagers.
The birthday party was held at a hotel as per request by the celebrant. She wanted to have a sleepover with the close friends. So us, the mommies, went with our girls and helped with the decorating as well.
A and her guests ate dinner at the hotel first then went to the outlet mall to do some shopping. Me and my friend AR were the chaperones. 😀 Walking around the mall with the teenagers were not our thing anymore. Whenever the kids enter a store, she and I will find a bench to sit on and wait for them to finish shopping. It’s like store hopping. Our feet were sore the next day. After all that store hopping, they spent an hour night swimming in the hotel’s pool. They had lots of fun.
It was close to eleven o’clock in the evening when the rest of the guests went home. My darling daughter and KC (my other mom friend’s daughter) were the only ones staying for the sleepover. This was actually the long-awaited sleepover for the three. They have been talking about this plan for like a decade. Haha. Now their wish was granted.
It was a fun sleepover birthday party. We hoped that A had a wonderful time with her friends on her special day.
Hi friends! Here we go it’s track season. My darling daughter tried out for track and she made it to participate in track events this year. Their first track meet was two weeks ago. It was actually an invitational attended by seven school districts. The second track meet was last week, where my darling daughter participated in three running events-the 400m dash, 200m relay, and the 800m relay.
I was so ecstatic because K won first in both the 400m dash and the 200m relay. Her relay team won second in the 800m relay, too. I was so proud of how she improved in just few weeks of daily practice. Waking up at 5:00 AM daily to practice was totally worth it.
Actually, K had been wanting to join the track team since last year (7th Grade). But she got sick on that tryouts week so she wasn’t able to do it. She was a little upset. We already bought a pair of track shoes prior to the tryouts. Gladly, she made the team this year, and good thing the shoes are still of use now. Although a year had passed, they still fit her. Wearing lightweight track shoes are more reliable than the common athletic shoes, I think.
She enjoys the sport. And she plans to tryout for track again next year. She will be in high school then. Oh how time flies so fast!
Congratulations to my darling K! Looking forward to the district meet in a couple of weeks. She’s pretty excited.
