A question I am often asked, "Where did your kids get that red hair?" Being the ornery person I am, sometimes I give a sassy response such as, "We paid a lot of money to adopt these two from Ireland," or "You ought to see the mail man," but the reality is it is in the genes, the DNA. My husband is quick to take the credit because his grandmother, mother, aunt, and uncle had red hair. Not wanting to feel left out, I quickly add the "red" is on both sides of the family. My sister has a gorgeous, red head. I figured it was time you all met my niece. Her name is Sara, she lives next door to my mom, and she is currently a student at Bakersfield College. I'll let you be the judge, but my non-prejudice opinion is - she is beautiful. Her hair is just a slight shade darker than Blake's. Of course, Blake thinks she is the greatest cousin in the whole world. For those that thought I had another daughter, sorry - she belongs to my sister but I'd be more than happy to claim her.
Pics are: top-Sara the model, with her favorite singer Tim Spell, wrestling with Bryce, with her friends Keith-Jessica-Sara-Bryce, Blake & Sara, silly Bryn & Sara, with her friend Jessica.
Sara is a beautiful young lady, inside and out, she has such a beatiful smile, and spirit, and yes she can pass for your daughter, the hair is beautiful, the pictures are great as well, love you all,
ReplyDeleteCheri - thanks for your kind words. Sara is a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sister you have. But you're beautiful too, inside and out! I have a sister who is 8 years younger than me. She is a beauty as well, although right now, she is 9 months pregnant and ready to pop. Hope her delivery is soon! I think red hair is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAw, Sara is a cool chic. Tell her I said hello! =)
ReplyDeleteKiki - thanks for the compliment, but the pictures are not my sister. She is my niece. My sister is seven years older than me and she has two daughters, Amber 29, and Sara 18.
ReplyDeleteHey who is that cute redhead?
ReplyDeleteShe's very pretty, Jana. Love, Helen
ReplyDeleteSara is a beautiful young lady. You have a right to be a proud aunt!!
ReplyDeleteHelen - thank you. I wish you could meet her. The two of you could probably have a fun conversation.
ReplyDeleteDebbie - thanks for the compliment. Sara thinks you are the greatest.
Brian - she call's you "uncle." Does that help ring a bell? LOL
ReplyDeleteSweet little Sara! My how she has grown into such a beautiful young lady. Where has time gone? It just seems like yesterday she was that little girl that use to come over and go swimming. Now look at her.
ReplyDeleteSara is a very pretty young lady. I really like red hair too. I don't know what Anne of Green Gables had a problem with it, but then again, that story is only fiction. LOL
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful and dashing. Sara looks like a class act. Of course, Paula wouldn't have it any other way. :)
ReplyDeleteSara's a nut job, but I love her anyway... =0)
ReplyDeleteJolene - times has a way of slipping by too fast.
ReplyDeleteRonda - you are right. She is a class act. She ought to be a buyer for Nordstrom! I know Paula is proud of her. I don't know if you have met Paula's other daughter Amber, but she is beautiful, too. Amber attends Bro. Morton's church. Her kids were in the Christmas program and Paula said they were so cute.
Chandra - thanks for loving Sara and my kids, too. The preacher's kids (and often the close relatives such as Sara) are often ostracized by the youth. Your support of them means alot to Pastor Allard and I. BTW, they love you, too.
