13!

On Sunday June 6, Shawna' turned 13.
We celebrated by having Josh's chicken wings for her birthday dinner.
 (Dallin wanted the same thing for his dinner, so we combined their birthday dinners)


Throwing done some yummy wings!


Soooooo GOOD!


Afterwards we invited the whole family over to celebrate with cake and ice cream.
Shawna' wanted Lily Pads on her cake with blue icing.




Singing Happy Birthday!


She is sure beautiful!


Opening gifts...she got lots of new shirts...even a few New Moon ones!



Checking out the goods.


Even days later, I can't believe that she is 13 already. Where has the time gone? It seems as if she was just a little girl not that long ago. I remember so many things like when she learned to pull herself up at 5 months, walking at 9 months, frequently cutting her hair, taking her to her first day of Kindergarten (and yes, I cried!), loving to play babies and Barbie's, loving to spend time with her Grandparents, loosing her first tooth, learning to ride her bike, learning to play the violin and the trumpet, dropping her off for her first day of Junior High.
Thinking back about all of these things makes me sad. She is no longer a little girl, but growing into a fine young lady.
Shawana', Happy Birthday love!
I love you so much and I'm so proud of the young lady that you are becoming!
(Minus all the drama! LOL)

Awwwww....she sure is a beauty and I can't believe how old she's getting, either. It's just amazing. Sure do miss you all!

Oh, and I hope you include Josh's chicken wings in the recipes for the family cookbook!
