I can’t believe it’s been 28 years since I became a mom. I was not ready at all, although I thought I was at the time. I was very young and life was simply chaotic but I knew that there was no way I would not have my baby when I learned I was pregnant at 15. I have never ever regretted my choice to have my baby, which turned out to be a girl. Today I’m sharing pictures of her and her growing up years. Hey, I’ll even throw in a few of me with her that are not all that flattering to me but you can see just how young I was.

Brit at 6 months old. What is uncanny is that her, her sister, my oldest son and two of Brit’s kids at 6 months all look the same.

Me holding her with my dad.

Me and Brit in OK where we lived for 13 months.

Brit was about 6 here and Lauren was 3.

Back in the day when ever kids had “big hair”!

A family shot when my youngest was only a few weeks old. Brit was 13 years old.

The whole family during Christmas. I can’t remember the year. Brit is on the right.

My favorite picture from her wedding.

As a first-time mom herself.

Most recent visit to my house with her family. I love my girl and I am proud of the wife, mom and woman she is today.

Happy birthday Brittany!!!!
