ALL ABOUT JADE.........

This post is all about my neice Jade Alexandria. She is my first. I remember exactly the day that my sister Kerry told me she was pregnant, I can tell you exactly what happened every second of the day she was born. She is 13 yrs old now and and she is turning into a beautiful young woman. I am doing this post about her because I know that sometimes she feels as though I dont love her like I do Lily and Rayn. Jade has always been a big mommas girl and when Lily came she was just so attached to me and then Rayn was born and although Rayn is a mommas girl too, she is a Meme's girl also. And speaking of Meme, it is Jade that named me that. We always referred to me as Aunt Kristy and one day it just came out and so Meme I am. Jade also took her first steps to me, and I will cherish that forever.

In all honesty we are a very LOUD family, BUT Jade is the loudest!!! Even though she drives us crazy with her pessimistic attitude that she gets honestly from her Daddy, and her smart mouth some of the time, she is one of the funniest people I have ever known. She is THE QUEEN OF SARACASM!!!!

I love watching her with my Momma, she loves her Nonny and has a special way with her. Jade has a way of hiding her feelings with laughter, it's her way of protecting her heart. She does not know it but I see this all of the time. And the way she gets thru Nonnys disease is to just laugh and make jokes. The beautiful thing about that is she has a way of bringing out my Moms "real" smile, and I love that!!!

Before Alzheimers my Mom was a "colorful" character to say the least. She was awesome and funny as heck!!! She could cus like a sailor and tell a joke like nobody else, so when Jade is being loud and obnoxious it just cracks me up at some of the things that come out of my Moms mouth to Jade!!! The way Jade just shrugs it off and cracks up just kills me!!!! I cant wait to see her with Franceska, I know she is going to be the best "Big Cousin" ever. So today I honor my very first beautiful neice Jade Alexandria.....I love you more than you will ever know and I am so proud of everything that you do and who you are and look forward to watching who you will become.

I love you, Meme


This is Jade getting ready to paint her Nonny's nails. You gotta be fast because she won't sit very long, but Jade has a way with her and she always gets the job done.
Working fast....with a little help from Rayn
Walking with her Nonny.....

What a gorgeous, gorgeous young lady and to spend all that precious time with her Nonny... it is these times she will cherish... I can relate so much with you here... my eldest niece Maddie was the one I looked after from the day she was born and I left her when she was about to turn 5...
Then a few months ago my sister asked her who her favourite Aunt was and Maddie said "Fliss"... hehehe... I still have it 10,000 miles away. So I get it :)

Here is an old post of her... she is now 12 and starting High School next year.
