The shoes she has been dying for.

She lined up all her gifts as she opened them.  It was pretty cute.

I am loving her fuzzy blanket!!

Now on to the cake!!

Make a wish...

What a sweet and beautiful little girl!!

Happy Birthday Karlie!!

Happy 12th Birthday!!

I can hardly believe Kayla is 12!! Where did the time go?

She decided against the cake and wanted doughnuts instead.

Karlie wrote her a sweet note!!

She finally got her ears pierced and was so excited!
I would of never have guessed the major cost increase...Oh Man!!

Now it is off to Young Women's and girls camp...oh my!!

Happy Birthday my beautiful Kayla!!



The PreTeen Party....

For those of you who know me, you already know I am not a party person.  This year since Kayla turns twelve I let her talk me into one and it turned out really good!!  We served a sandwich bar, veggie trays and fruit.  The girls really enjoyed it. Kayla called it her RANDOM party, where she planned random stuff...

Making friendship bracelets.

Cake decorating contest.

and the favorite thing...Freeze dance with glow bracelets.

It was a great party and now maybe I won't be scared to throw another one....well we will see on that one!!

NOTE: At this moment I am still trying to talk Karlie out of one with bribery.....

Priest/Laurel Formal: You Otta Be in Pictures!!

Kody attended the incredible Formal put on by our Stake.  This is the first year that we have been here that I have not been involved in it and I must admit I was a little sad.  Kody had a great time.  The decorations were incredible and the food was good.  He went with a group of 12 and thanks to one of the parents who let them take their 12 seat van. 

He looked so handsome!!  We had a string from his date's dress and who would of thought it would of been so hard to match.... We searched and searched until we finally found something to match.

Look he matched this cute date perfectly!!

Tiko wanted his picture taken..ha ha!!

The real date.

What a cute group!!

At the dance.

I am glad he had a great time!!
