Happy 8th Birthday Makayla and 9 months Connor

Happy Birthday to my little big girl! I can't believe you are 8 years old now! Are you kidding me? You will be baptized in April and I just can't see how 8 years has passed by so fast! You are so excited to be baptized. Once you saw your cousin Megan baptized, that is all you can talk about. We have had the Primary teacher stop by for achievement days, the counselor stop by with a baptism book and the missionaries over to talk about baptism. Now we need your Bishop interview and then your baptism. Phew...being 8 is big business! And Connor turned 9 months old on your Bday. That little boy is just getting around everywhere! You love him so much and I know you are setting such a great example for him. You are so loving and kind to him. I love you Miss Makayla. You make me proud every day!

For Kayla's Bday we went swimming at the Rec center by our house. It was so much fun, The kids loved the play area, the slide, the lazy river.... well up till someone threw up in the pool and then that ended the swimming fun. They evacuated everyone from the pool and took them 40 minutes to get it ready..so we decided to get dressed. We had a Party room where we opened presents, ate pizza played a few games and had cupcakes..my camera pooped out on me so Carrie and Jaelann probably have more pics than I got.



Makayla wanted to make the cupcakes..I get nervous with the kids in the Kitchen, but how will they ever learn if I don't let them do it themselves...so this was definitely something that I had to let go of my control a bit and let her do it. She did a fantastic job!



Filling the liner's with dough. She was so precise..It was cute to watch her.



mom, "are you sure you don't want me to do that, it's hot"..kayla "no mom i'm just fine!"

Aunt Carrie and Connor..He didn't last long in the pool...but looked cute anyway!



Woo hooo Carrie!!



Jordan and Oscar in the lazy river trying to swim against the current! go boys!!!



I convinced Tyla to go on the slide, that Carrie and her mom were at the top that she could ride on their lap to go down. So she gets up there and they wouldn't let her sit on any one's lap!! Nice Aunt Jenny...so Andrea went down first and then caught her when she came down..She had a smile on her face and said it was fun..and I said oh good then you can go again and she said NOOOOOOO. oops! Sorry Tyla!



Ellie coming down the slide! They do this thing over and over and over again!

The princess of the party! Little social butterfly.
