I can’t believe it. My little Sarah (she hates being called ‘little’) turned 10 yesterday. Not much on words, so here’s a few pictures from yesterday’s festivities.
She’s taking a liking to Golf now.

Enjoys Club Penguin.

The Cake

She recently started Karate at Moore’s Chinese Martial Arts in Atwater, so I thought I’d throw in a picture from her first day.

Well happy birthday to Sarah, my daughter, whose name is Sarah as well, turned 18 this past January. They grow up so dang fast. Karate should be a lot of fun for her. Thanks for sharing Mike
Gosh, ten already!
Golf – that is a family addiction, Mike. My brothers and I used to set up courses in the yard at 526 with canning jar rings as holes and arrows as flags. Give Sarah a hug for us.
Thanks Jim!
UW – Never got into golf, but the “other” grandpa likes golf.
An R/C helicopter………..a girl after my own heart.
