Turning 18

[Wildman]

Today is my baby girls 18th birthday.
It's pretty amazing and I really don't know where the years have gone.
She'd already gotten her birthday present early because she needed a new laptop when the schools shutdown.

But today I got her something to wear in her Jeep.

Dads having a hard time believing she's graduating from high school next month.

It's definitely bitter sweet. Congrats and sympathy at the same time for you. Just think you've helped her get this far. Be proud.

I love the look on her face...like she doesn't really want dad taking those photos

Anyways, that's just crazy to think about. My oldest is 7 and a half, and even I am wondering where the time has gone. It's too bad they can't stay young and innocent forever.

Here she is at 1 helping to wash the car.

I took this picture to Iraq with me. She was 18 months old when I left so she has never know her dad not to be injuried.

Congratulations to both of you. Everything you’ve taught her is engrained in her memory banks, and she’ll find a place to put it to good use that will continue to amaze you for years to come.

Congratulations to both of you for making it this far. Here is my 18 year old the first time she drove my TJ.

That's awesome dude! Looks like she couldn't be more annoyed at you for taking her picture, it's great. We got started late, in our 40's now with a 5&7 year old. I treasure every day watching them grow.

I was 41 when she was born. She has a half brother that is 17 years older than her.
