My Birthday!!

I turned 17 on Nov. 11th. I enjoyed a huge,
wonderful birthday breakfast with my family at
The Original Pancake House. Then took a long nap.
Later we went to church and i got to stay and hang
out with friends till about 10pm.

Friday Auntie Pam took Brit, Kenzie, Lydia & I
And got us pizza. Then she took us
to the Tanger outlet mall, where we stayed and
shopped until 9:00p.m. (FunFunFun!!!:)

Sunday Phoebe bought pizza, breadsticks and salad
and she and Lydia stayed all day at church with me!

a couple of my gifts. Kristyn gave me this pillow


Thanx to everyone who helped make my birthday AWESOME!!!!!

A few weeks ago we had a Mexican dinner
that Mom had at a restaurant.
It was rice, beans, salad, steak strips, salsa,
cheese, sour cream and ranch dressing.
Suprisingly it was good!!! :)
Kyle and i both tried to make it look really good.
Kyle wanted me to post it and see who did a better
job. What do you think??

This is mine.

This is Kyle's

a great night!

An update on us:

The children started school last month and some

are enjoying it.:) Armani and I are studying for an

ACT test that we will be taking October 24th, and

helping Autumn and Micah with school work.

We are relocating the bakery. Right now the new

building is being painted and the ceiling and floor

are being replaced. Mom is really excited:). We hope

to move in and get back to work soon!

Kyle "made" Chinese food for dinner
tonight. He was so glad that he smiled
for the picture!!

He did a great job heating and preparing
everything. :)
