My daughter's phone

My daughter Rachel is my

SOCIAL BUTTERFLY.

It can drive me crazy trying to keep up with

where she is going to be,

how is she going to get there,

who is she going to be with,

 what is she going to be doing,

and how is she going to get home.

ALMOST always I end up in the equation...

offering up

(sometimes grudgingly)

one ride after another to her various destinations.

But when I had a chance to sneak a peak at her phone...

(yes, we do peak at our children's phones!)

I had to smile....

and even laugh at some of her many social engagements.

For instance I noticed how

her weekend actually started Thursday when she went to her sister's volleyball game...

(Katie is a rockstar...but I will blog about that later!)

and she ran into one of her friend's...

and the plotting began.

 Text messages go out...

to EVERYONE!

 Next thing I know I have a car full of girls (and Chris)

 and we are heading to watch the Higley High varsity girls 

volleyball game in Queen Creek.

 She spies on her older brother and his "girlfriend"!

Isn't the game the other way?

Friday is another school day which starts the same way as the day before...

Taking pictures with friends...

and planning the next MAIN event!

This time it was one of their best friends birthday parties!

Community Scavenger hunt and swim party!

 

 The party was in my neighbor's backyard and I could hear this group for hours into the night!

Saturday was no exception...

another birthday party with these girls!

Sunday was church day but she still found time to snap this cute shot during class:

 And this one with her bestie Summer!

 And last but not least...

she managed two trips to the mall today.

Yes, I drove her there both times!

I'm such a sucker!

 When I see these pictures I'm grateful she is enjoying

her life full of GREAT friends.

Making so many GREAT memories.

And if I'm worried she might get too caught up with the social...

she just sends me a screen shot of her grades.

Yep...she will be JUST fine!

A big thanks to Rachel for letting me steal her pictures...

and an even 

bigger thanks for being such a great girl!
