McKenzie!

Kenzie has some fun friends that she got together with for pictures and a dinner out - to celebrate the end of the school year!  Kenzie had an all around - fantastic - last year in middle school!  I think she is a little nervous about high school and a little sad about ending her reign as an 8th grader! 

Meade, Courtney, Kenzie, Katie, and Maddie

Dinner at Armando's - yummy!

Band concert - she had a flute solo and got to play the piccolo.

So she told me the day of she had a flute solo and didn't make a big deal about it.  But had I known her flute and the chimes were about the only things playing I might have been better prepared.  Anyway, if you listen closely and quickly you might here what I heard that night!  :)

Honors Night! :)



I am always so proud of the kids when they have worked hard and done well, but sometimes the award night gets a little "lengthy"!  Good thing we had Kavan with us to take pictures...

Soon after school got out, Kenzie went to Girl's Camp.  Great site, great lake, great leaders, and great memories!

"Live Like You Believe!"

Then Kenzie turned 14!  Huh? 
(Did you know I met Layne at 14?  At my first church dance?)

Kenzie was sick on her birthday and had been for 3 days, but we still had a small celebration.



Ice cream cake, yum!



Then we celebrated with lots of family at the lake.

Then she celebrated again with some friends by making "hair flowers,"

bath salts and shrinky dinks,

 having lunch and eating cupcakes and ice cream,

then pampering the feet with pedicures while watching Letters to Juliet.  Fun stuff!!



One of the things she asked for for her birthday was a Daddy - Daughter date!  They saw the movie Soul Surfer and ate at Fatz Cafe!  So fun!

My, how time really does fly!

We sure do love her!
