Mini-Knutson

This is Miss Brenna. She is in Grade 7, and she's 12.

She's just like her mother.

She has always been a character. Early videos of her showcase a talent for making folks laugh.

She wants to be an actress. She has already been in community theatre and she was the Global Microphone in the 2005 Buffalo Days parade. Both performances were met with rave reviews!

She wants to live in New York.

She is also an athlete and a painter. She's played basketball and volleyball, and has done bitchin' at both - despite a lack of experience. Her art is all over the house, and has won her awards at school!

She is a great sister. She plays with her little brother a lot - they can be heard giggling and carrying on all over the house!

She is very sweet and very kind to animals and friends.

She has lots of pairs of shoes.

She picked out the rockin' lime green color for her bedroom, and she won Best Costume at a recent Halloween Dance!

She is a great babysitter, and she is great with all types of kids.


She has started wearing a tiny bit of make-up. I have jokingly told her my rules for life --- NO BOYS. (I'm only half joking.)

When she was younger, she complained of getting a bead stuck in her ear. She said that our cat had did it. Later, at the hospital, she admitted doing it herself. When the doctor removed the bead for her ear, he was shocked to find another bead behind it! (This one apparently came from a friend at daycare.)

Her and her brother have grown up so much. They have lived in many different places and seen many different things. They've been to DisneyWorld and the Smokey Mountains and the Gulf of Mexico and the Red River and Costcos in 2 different countries, and they've taken it all in stride.

She is a great daughter and I love her very much.

jason,
it's been YEARS -- probably since abbey's third birthday party -- since i've seen Braiden and Brenna, and i love knowing what they've been up to, what they are like. i'm not at all surprised that they are fantastic kids -- parents like you and kristin make all the difference.
and on your blog, i like how you've been featuring stories and thoughts on those close to you -- it's something we should all do, whether online or just in our own minds. i don't think people realize the greatness they have around them enough.
