During the summer I would babysit Jayley every day! When school started up agian I would pick her up from the babysitters and watch her untill her dad got home. It was sooo fun to play dress up with her! Everywhere me and Tanisha went, Jayley went right along too! We taught that kid how to properly drag main, drink diet coke and chase COWBOYS! There were some people in town who didn't know me very well and thought she was my baby. If they saw me without her they would ask where my baby was. And I loved it! I have always claimed her as my own kid and always will.

Blossie was sure there were more trick or treaters out there.
