Happy 13th Kailey!!

Yesterday was Kailey's 13th Birthday - an official teenager!! She started the day by cheering at the football games with 'N Step Dance at 10:30. My mom then picked her up after the game was over and they went to see "The Secret Life of Bees". After they went back to my mom's house and then all of us met at The Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner (we have done this for three years now for Kailey's birthday).

We enjoyed a fun dinner with my parents, Ryan's parents, Rick, Rinda, Chris, Lori and Dylan, Justin, Brandi and Liam, and Steve, Ashley and Andrew. The food was great and we had a great waitress. It was fun to have everyone together to celebrate...

I can't believe my oldest is 13. What a wonderful daughter she is... She is so helpful and loves her brother and sisters. She is like a second mom to Megan and Emily. Kailey is very responsible and trustworthy. Whenever she babysits for me, I come back to happy kids and a clean house. She is obedient and respectful. Kailey is kind and worries about those around her. I am so very lucky to be her mom and what a blessing she is to our family.

Here are some pictures from the night...
