Am I really THAT old?

I am a month behind, again... But on December 15th Kristyn turned eleven. Can she really be that old? She planned her own party. I didn't even know about until a few days before. She invited only a few girls from school, then a couple more showed up. All the girls sang songs with the Karaoke machine. It was so much fun to listen to the music and watch the dancing.


Blayne thought the singing was just plain to loud. This is what he was doing most of the time.

We had a great time, it turned out to be such a fun night. Kristyn is such a responsible young lady. She is such a great helper to me. Sometimes I think I rely on her a little to much and forget to pass more along down the line to her sisters and brother. Kristyn is a strong girl, there isn't much of a grey area in her mind, things are either right or wrong. I never have to worry about Kristyn making the right choice, she knows what she believes in. I'm sure that will be a problem as she gets older and doesn't agree with her mom, but for now it is a great asset to have in our family. Happy Birthday Kristyn!! We love you.

Happy Birthday to Kristyn. She is such a great girl. I'm glad to see that she will sing the Karaoke with her friends even if she won't do it with the old ladies.

Fishing in Herriman

Kaley's big one. Kaley didn't have the patience to cast and wait for the fish to bite. I'm not sure how she managed to leave the pole in the water long enough to catch anything.

Kristyn fishing (kind of)

I think Kristyn would rather sit back and relax, and stay as far away from the fish as possible

Sydney was getting tired of fishing so she was reeling in the line to pack up and go home. She couldn't beleive it that there was a fish attached to the end of the pole

Blayne was ready for fishing before anyone

Blayne is quite the fishing pro. He has his own spiderman pole and his fishing hat.
