My oldest MEGAN . . . . . . . . . She was born 8 lbs. 0 oz. and was 21 1/2 inches long. We have a special bond. She calls me "momma" and I love it. She is 11 going on 30. And she is going into 6th grade. She worries about everything, but does not show it most of the time. She usually won't leave my side and is always looking for my approval. For as long as I can remember she has wanted to be a teacher when she grows up. Most of the time she will stand back and watch instead of joining in. Her teachers always have good things to say. I remember one teacher telling me that she was a blessing to have in class because Megan would not let her forget anything if she missed it. She hates to read, but loves math. Last year she was moved into the advanced math class. She also made high honors 3 out of 4 quarters this year. Before that, she had been struggling in school. Her and Nic are 19 months apart and at times can be very close and then cannot stand to be around each other. Fighting with her brother and the tendancy to be a little bossy sometimes is usually the only time she gets into trouble. She watches out for him and although she has her own room, she chooses to sleep in his room (he has a bunk bed). Megan is a big help around the house. She loves to cook (something she got from her great grandmother) and will cook our meals occasionally all by herself. For Christmas this past year she got a lot of cooking items (utensils, electric skillet, her own dish set). 2 years ago she got a sewing machine for christmas and she loves to use it. Megan is 10 years older than Malia. Malia likes to follow her big sister around and enjoys spending time in Megans room with her. Megan is hoping that Malia is into sports as much as she is so she can help her, and she says she wants to coach her softball team. Megan will be a very good role model for Malia.
Megan usually knows people where ever we go. We usually do not go anywhere without a friend of hers with us, and it seems like she has a friend for a sleepover almost every weekend. She spends alot of time on facebook talking to friends or texting them. Wow. . . . am I glad she has the unlimited texting on her phone.
Her grandparents are members of a car club and for years, Megan has been part of that too, going to the meetings and some car shows and parades. She gets to help out and even hand out trophies and door prizes.
She loves all sports. Right now she is on 2 softball teams (league and traveling). She can handle just about any position on the field, but mostly is catcher or pitcher or 3rd base. She has pitched the whole last 3 games for her league team and they are 8 - 1.
She played school Basketball in 5th grade. And she played 2 years of Upward Basketball.
Megan keeps us very busy. She also did gymnastics for 3 years and Upward Cheerleading for 2 years. And she has played flag football, taken piano lessons and karate lessons. This year in 6th grade she has to decide between volleyball or basketball and she is torn because she wants to do both, but the school will only let them choose one because they are both around the same time. She plans on trying out for the school softball team also. She is in band and plays the flute. She loves to go swimming daily at the park pool and has been doing volleyball and basketball camps this summer.
Megan has boyfriend, Alex. For the last several months I have watched them together and they are very cute and shy together. We have also gotten to know his family and they are wonderful. Megan came to me and said she wanted to get QUEEN on the back of her softball shirt (you can get whatever you want and Alex's last name is KING) and I told her no at first, but she was insistant and said there was nothing else she wanted to get, so I told her that she would have ask Alex if it was ok with him before she did (and she did).
