Life with... JACQUELINE!

They say a picture says a 1000 words. These pictures tell you more than I ever could about what it's like to live with our Jacqueline, Jac, Jackie or Jac Jac :)
It's hard to believe that my baby is 15 years old and ready to get her drivers permit! Even though she has ALWAYS been very mature for her age, and a PERFECT angel or "PRECIOUS" as Grandma calls her; it just doesn't seem possible!
We celebrated with Greek yogurt. 
Yes, she is our healthy eater which doesn't make Thomas and Emily too happy! hee hee
Don't worry, they got their ice-cream. She wouldn't let them suffer too much!
Emily made Jac her very own special cape and crown...
"JAC THE HERO!"
As we were sitting around the table last week, Emily said:
"Jac, YOU are the NICEST, and VERY BEST teenager in the whole world!"

We all agreed!

Happy 15 Jac, we love you!

Happy Birthday Jacki! I feel very lucky that I get to serve where I can get to know that beautiful older girl of yours. She is nothing but a good egg.

P.S. I must get a recipe for sweet potato curry. She has talked quite highly of it. :)

Emily did say it PERFECTLY!!
She is also one of the funnest people to hang with. I have so many great memories of this sweet girl. Like years ago, when Mandi had stayed with you. She came home telling me of Jac's bedtime routine. She was so amazed at how long Jac's personal prayers were! AMAZED!:) But she came away with alot more then that to be amazed about. You are such a wonderful example to us all! Lve you Jac!

I'm glad your mom knows how lucky she is! XOXOXOX

You said it perfectly! Jac you are so fun to be around! We have such great memories of our time together...one of my favorite was you and Jake entertaining us on the drive home from the Alpine Slide. You are such an amazing example and such a good girl! You remind me a lot of your mother at your age. What is weird is it seems like the other day that your mom was 15! Wow! Hard to believe that you are growing so fast. The world is a better place with you in it! Yeah for driving!!! love, Aunt Monica xoxox

She is adorable. Greek yogurt is good but can it replace ice cream or cake? I don't know.

She is just like you -amazing!

I agree, I have never met a sweeter, more mature 15 year old. She's a keeper!

Pictures say a thousand words. Jac is one in a million!!!! So very very precious! I agree With Em, she is the best teenager in the whole world and what a compliment to come from her sister!
