I didn't have a digital camera until last year so most of these are recent. I did however take a picture of a picture to let you see the first time we met Cheyenne. It was Easter 2000 she came to church with her Maw Maw Hazel. We didn't have children and I had Nursery that Sunday. She cried and cried and I just wanted to hold her the whole time. I wanted to take her home with me. You can't see her face but she is climbing up on the stage with Britney, her cousin, in a dress that a lady in our church made for her..jpg)
It doesn't seem that it was that long ago my little girl was so shy and wouldn't even eat with Ken around. She was so afraid of men. We would bring her home with us for the weekend and take her back to her Maw Maw's on Sundays. She began crying to stay with us and didn't want to go home, so we decided to pursue the adoption. God knew she needed us and we needed her.

She has grown into such a beautiful young lady.

We didn't think we would ever have other children but then Naomi came and is so attached to her sister. Cheyenne can make her laugh by just looking at her. They are so funny, every night Naomi says she will sleep in her own bed but then somehow they end up together. Even if it means waiting until Chey is asleep and then crawling into her bed. LOL!
This year and last year in her Patch the Pirate class at church She was given the highest honor, the Fruit of the Spirit Award. We are so proud of her.
When Abigail came along, Chey is her 2nd Mommy. What would her sisters do without her! What would I do without her! She is so helpful and such a joy to anyone that knows her. WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCH CHEYENNE!!!! HAPPY ADOPTION DAY SWEETHEART!
We had a few friends over to have a sleepover. We went to Sonic for drink on the way to get a movie and the girls wanted to ride the Carousel! Yea! Abigail was asleep so she didn't get in on the fun. They were suppose to sleep in the tent but one was afraid and the rest came in too. I didn't think it would last:)
