Twelve!

Last Thursday we celebrated Emily's twelfth birthday.
Unfortunately every picture turned out like the one above. Or worse. :(
Except this picture of the cake that she designed and made mostly by herself.
It was delicious!
She invited just a few friends over. We had pizza for lunch.
She wanted to go to a local fun place that costs a lot of money! trampoline place for her party so the guest list had to be kept super short.
After an hour there we came back to the house for cake and ice cream.
Then a lot of crazy goofing off by wild and wacky kids! So fun!
This is an interesting time of life for kids. Wanting to be grown up and still really just a goofball most of the time. You can't help but watch their antics and laugh. Once you get over worrying about their mental state. ;)
After everyone went home we did a speedy quick clean up, packed a few bags and hit the road.
We left a beautiful Spring day behind and drove straight into the eye of a storm.
More on that later....

T,
I wish you would have accepted my offer on the Free camera (Sony/pink).
It takes far more awesome (and Clear!) photos than this. When I never heard back on it, I gave it away. I think I shoulda just sent it to ya! lol
It really is a great little camera.
I waited for over a month to see if you'd write. :( *Mel

Shoot! It was a super good ($550) camera..just a couple of years old. I got a new one that also takes HD movies. I think I also sent an e:mail in addition to posting here. Not meant to be I guess. :(
Hope you are well,
