Hannah, is being 13 better than being 12? My daughter turns 13 next month. Would you like a penpal?

Amanda said...

Happy Birthday Hannah!!! Scott would like to know when you are moving back to South Dakota so you can babysit?

Jordan would like to know what cool animals you have seen in Hawaii? and what is your favorite thing to do in Hawaii?

Happy Birthday Hannah B! I thought of you yesterday, but then I was a bad aunt and forgot to do anything about it. Do you forgive me? I love you!

Let's see, questions:

1. How tall are you now?
2. Who is your favorite aunt (wink!)
3. Do sea turtles really live to be 100 years old?
4. Now that you are a teenager, do you still think your mom is the coolest mom ever?
5. Have you tried any cool new foods since moving to Hawaii?

Aloha Han!

Hey Hannah Happy Birthday! I also thought about you, but didn't have my cell phone, and wasn't able to call. I just read the Princess Academy by the same author as Goose Girl. I enjoyed my book, did you like yours? Have you read the Princess Academy? I also read Al Capone cleans my shirts, also a good book. Hope you had a fun day!

Carrotjello - being thirteen is pretty much the same as being twelve. lol.

Amanda/Jordan - We are probably moving back in a year and a half to two years! The coolest animal I saw here was a sea turtle. I saw it's little head poke up out of the water a few times while I was surfing (which is my favorite thing to do here!).

Mary - Whew! Lots of questions!
1. How tall are you now? I am 5' 4"
2. Who is your favorite aunt (wink!) haha. All of you guys are my favorites! I hope that I can be as close with my sisters and brother as the McSistas are!
3. Do sea turtles really live to be 100 years old? yes, and longer! sometimes 200 years!
4. Now that you are a teenager, do you still think your mom is the coolest mom ever? yes. most definitely. usually.
5. Have you tried any cool new foods since moving to Hawaii? yeah. sushi. bleh!

Heather - Goose Girl is very good! My mom should be checking out the sequel from the library (hint hint). I also read the Princess Academy, and I liked it too! I liked the quarryspeach thing or whatever. It was cool!

Happy Birthday, Hannah! Enjoy your day!

Can you BELIEVE you have a teenager?

And my question for Hannah is what she misses most about the Mainland!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Mary said...

Hannah, you are seriously 5'4"? We are the same height now - and SO much taller than your wee little mom! haha!

When you try sushi again when you are older, you will love it. If the fish grosses you out, try a California roll with avocado. It's a good way to start.

You are so awesome Hannah!

How fun to hear from Hannah!! Happy (late) b-day. I am still taller than you though, I am 5'5". Sweet! Do you think you are still growing?

Suzanne said...

I have a question for Wendy! What is it like to have a teenager in the house now? ;) J.K. Happy Birthday, Hannah! :D

Mary said...

Anna, you are not 5'5" are you? I thought you were maybe only 1/2 an inch taller than me, not a full inch! GRRR

Happy Birthday to a very cute gal! I know your 13th year will be so fun... especially in Hawaii of all places! What an awesome experience for you and your family to live there!

I really enjoyed reading your "question and answer" section on this blog entry. It is fun to see what you and your family are up to, and I love the pictures that your Mom posts! Someone is a great photographer! Take Care! Love, Jennifer Rima (your Mum's first cousin!)
