Introducing.....Chelsea Elizabeth Mahaffey!

Chelsea is our first born child...March 17, 2001. That makes her 7 years old. Chelsea is unique in so many ways, I would be here typing about her forever, you really need to only spend 15 minutes with her to figure out just how unique she is. She has always been an over-achiever, and I don't say that just because I am her Mother. It has been brought to our attention several times over by, pre-school teachers, gymnastics coaches, tap teachers, and her kindergarden and 1st grade teachers. If she tries something and enjoys it, she achieves at it, but if she tries it and doesn't like it, she quits and doesn't look back. Gymnastics and Tap Dancing are the two great loves in her life right now. She has been in Gymnastics since she was 3 and in tap only since she was six. She loves to write stories, do art work, and her favorite outdoor activity is catching frogs and making "habitats" for them and setting them free at the end of the day. She likes to read, play with her baby sister, fight with her little brother, swim, and listen to her I-Pod. Whats on her play list you ask....? Hannah Montana, every single High School Musical song from HSM 1 and 2 plus the remixed songs, The Jonas Brothers, and Kids Bop 1 through 13 I believe! She has seen High School Musical on Ice 3 times, and High School Musical the Musical at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh once. Her bedrrom is decorated in HSM and her last birthday cake was...you guessed it....HSM!!! She is already planning her first sleep-over for this Fall when HSM 3 premieres! She reminds me much of myself...only I was 12 not 7! Nolan and Kylie really have a great big sister, they don't realize it now but I knw they will appreciate it years down the road. Chelsea teaches them, plays with them, and acts as a second mother half the time. I will never forget the day I gave birth to her, it was the day that changed Chris and I's lives forever, the day that changed my title for the rest of my life to "Mother", the day that I realized what true love truly feels like...I will forever be grateful.
