Tess is TEN!! 🌟 How did that happen so fast!? The baby of the family came in with a bang with a scary birth and NICU stay and tear duct surgery at a few months old…. she was born two days before Francie turned 5 and everyone was so excited for a new baby in the family. Tess is spunky, independent, funny, sassy and kind-hearted. She loves animals especially those that need extra love. She is loyal to her family and cares about her friends. She’s fierce and strong too. She can ride and rope like nobody’s business (just ask her sisters who are nervous for the day she competes against them in junior high rodeo) and you can’t tell her there’s something she can’t do because guess what… she’ll do it! We love everything about you Tessa- you keep us smiling, laughing, on our toes and always loving YOU for just who you are. Happy 10th birthday! #m5maryteresa #m5birthdays #tessturns10 #tessakate #fivemarys *posted two days late, on Francie’s 15th birthday! I’m catching up after a busy, wet rainy rodeo weekend in Red Bluff :)
