Strike! Birthday Bowling!!

We took Jody & a group of her friends to Davis Lanes Bowling Alley to go bowling for her 10th birthday! They all seemed to have fun! Even Sadie & Jessie loved it! Of course- we put the bumpers up for them! Jody is getting to be such a beautiful, young lady! I'm enjoying watching her discover who she is & I'm so glad I'm lucky enough to be her mom! It's funny to watch her with friends- they're all trying to figure out how to act around each other & other people! What is even funnier-I see such similiarities between their little group & how myself & my peers behave sometimes. It seems all the same desires to be liked & accepted & all the same little insecurities we had as children still exist! We're just bigger now!! I hope Jody had a great birthday cause she's such a great girl! I also hope she knows how much we all love her & how special she is to our family!!






Jody turns 10!!

We celebrated Jody & my nephew, Alex's, birthdays at the same time. Alex was the big 16!! He was showing off his newly acquired driver's license!
Clockwise: Alex, Colby, my other nephew-Nicky, my bro-in-law, Bryce, Cam & Drew.
I guess I shouldn't complain that Drew is as tall as I am now! Could be worse! Alex passed my sister, Taresa, awhile ago!
My mom-in-law Jerrie, my sister-Heidi, & her 2 girls- Maya & baby Grace
Don't let Jessie & Sadie's innocent smiles fool you!! They're trouble! :0)
Alex & Jody blowing out the candles! Jody went for cookies & cream cake while Alex went with good, old fashioned carrot cake w/cream cheese frosting! Yummy!
