Sweet "16"...

Taylor turned the big "16" and she had a few simple requests...glitter toes...a new outfit and dinner with family and friends...
















We had a girls day of pampering and shopping...Dinner at Olive Garden with 35 of our great family and friends...What a party:)

Hawaii Trip...

So many moments of fun and laughter...I think we all branched out of our comfort zones...just a little! The beaches were beautiful! Amazing sunsets,snorkeling, whale watching, people watching, eating, eating, and eating again and of course... lots of shopping...Jareds LEAST favorite part. When Kennedy asked me what shop was my favorite, Jared quickly answered,"She couldn't tell you...she went into so many!" I was just making sure I didn't miss anything! What fun memories!!!

Our Troll...

Kennedy's class presented a fairy tale puppet show for us to see. She was the mean ole' Troll. She had the crowd laughing with her chanting in a deep voice, " Who's that trip-trappin' over my bridge cause I'm the mean ole' Troll...You can't get to the other side 'cuz I eat billy goats!" Her teacher said she won the award for making everyone laugh :)

Our lil' "Chef"...

Kennedy decided to bake a cake just for fun...Chocolate with strawberry filling...She loves to cook anything she can!

Service with a Smile...

I opened my garage to find the YM in our ward having a shoveling competition...cleaning my driveway...What a pleasant surprise....Thanks guys!!!

Showing off the Christmas dress...

Okay...Kennedy was the only one that would pose for me...Love the polka dots...

1st Grade Gingerbread Houses...

Kennedy had a great time with her class making gingerbread houses...The girls were definitely a little more conservative than the boys...Let's just say the frosting looked more like lotion on some of the kids:)
