Abby's 12th Birthday

WOW!  How can this beautiful girl be 12!
I loved Abby's 12th Birthday! 
It was my favorite Birthday for her yet!
We started the morning with a SURPRISE PARTY!! 
All of Abby's friends came to our house at 7:00 am
in their pajamas.  We were hoping Abby would still
be in bed, but she had locked her door. We knocked
on her door and when she opened her door, 
everyone threw a balloon 
and yelled "Happy Birthday."
She was really suprised to see all of her friends!
Love Abby's bed head.
We piled everyone in the car in their pjs
and headed to IHOP for breakfast.
We had breakfast and opened presents.
Pajama Sisters
When we got home we were
surprised to see that the Beehives
had come to decorate our front
door for Abby's Birthday! So nice!
They decorated the door and the driveway!
We had some time as a family,
 to let Abby open her presents.
Abby got some NIKE Running shoes, a volleyball
and jewlery from her sisters.
Abby is such a great big sister.
In the afternoon Abby met with 
Bishops Redding and got a temple recommend.
James & I took Abby & 4 friends to the Bountiful Temple. 
 Anna, Lila, Amy, Abby & Kaylee
 It was such a special day at the temple.
James baptized all of the girls and I got to
hand them their towels as they came out of the font.
I LOVED every second.  It was my second favorite
day at the temple ever....second to our wedding day.
Afterwards we went home and had pizza
and 12 cupcakes and ice cream!
 Abby you are so BEAUTIFUL!! 
Abby ended the night going 4-wheeling
with The Black family by the "B".
It was such a special and fun day!
Abby, we are so glad you are in our family!

3rd Grade Mothers Day Ball & Music Day

Kate has LOVED 3rd Grade!!
The entire 3rd grade put on a patriotic music performance.
The kids had actions and knew the songs so well.
Afterwards the 3rd Graders invited all of
the Mom's to the 3rd Grade Ball.
 We all had to dress up in our fancy ball gowns....

We played kick ball in our gowns againts
our 3rd graders.
  I think we laughed the entire time.
It was really fun and the Mom's even won! :-)
Thanks Kate for invited me to the Ball!
 
 I love you Kate! I am glad you have
had such a fun school year. I am so
proud of your hard work and love of learning!
Thank you for being such a great helper and so fun!

Goodbye Kate' s Bottom Braces

Kate got her bottom braces off today.
This is her last picture as a full brace face. 
 She did amazing when they took off 
her bottom braces. 
I have never seen such a happy face. 
Her first look in the mirror.
 We need two more teeth to come in
on her top row of teeth before her
top braces can come off.
But 8 less teeth without brackets 
feels really good!!
