Makaylas birthday!

12 years ago this day,Quinn and I drove our little Honda accord to Bannock Hospital to deliver our first little baby.

We didn't know if we were having a boy or girl, and we were thrilled when the doctor yelled- "It's a girl" loud enough for my parents to hear who were standing outside the curtain!

Somehow- 12 years have passed and Makayla Marie is now in Young Women's.

She has always been a happy helper around the house, and a great bis sister. She's been babysitting our kids for us, and is now ready to be babysitting for others too.

For her birthday, Allie, Lance and I brought lunch to school.

We went and bought Subway Sandwiches, and then found Pirate Booty a the store. Her favorite snack. While we were there Lance saw that Chippette, Eleanor and said, "Look- it's sissy". So he took that doll to her for lunch. Then her friends, Kara & Helana helped me take cookies back to her class for after lunch!

When she got home from school there were flowers sent from Grandpa J!

Then her Dad came home with some of his favorite flowers for her. These are some of her favorite guys. Glad they were the first ones to buy her flowers!

Then she opened some presents.

The Mathisons sent her this puppy puzzle! She's excited to do it. Dylan was saying, "Ahh cute little puppies" when I took the picture.

Some cute clothes and earring from Grandma J.

Then some more clothes from mom and dad. Moms wondering how many more years until we can share.

Then she got to go to Young Women's on her birthday! They had a fun valentine party/ welcome makayla party. She loved it.

More presents from Grandma Draper, a cool CD with Young Women's songs and a new sweatshirt, and some gift cards from Aunts and Uncles she wants to go use.

She invited some friends over for a movie night too... we'll get those pictures up next!
