REWIND!
When I look at Jazmyne I am constantly amazed by how time just flies on by. I often feel like there is just no way that she is almost as tall as me, 10 years old and in the 5th grade! It's hard for me to explain, but when I think of Jazmyne the first thought and the first picture that pops into my mind is her as a 1 and 2 year old. I can remember her growing each year, but for some reason those 2 years really stand out the most. These are the images of Jazmyne that first come to my mind whenever I think of her. I think of my chubby little spit-fire with her curly brunette hair bouncing around.

I really miss our trips to the beach! Jaz and I used to go quite often. It was so relaxing, I would lay there soaking in the sun and listening to the waves and she would sit right by me and play in the sand. She never wandered or ran off and would keep herself entertained for hours! I can't imagine Parker being like that if I were to take him to the beach! You know it's odd but sometimes Jaz will say something totally "teen-like" to me and because in my mind she is still that little it totally throws me off! Please someone tell me I'm not the only one that is in denial like this! I know I need to snap out of this denial ... I KNOW she is 10 but it's hard for my mind to wrap around that fact. She was such an easy child growing up but I think my challenge with her is going to be the next 8 years!
