Well, one week after Brady's birthday is Blakely's b-day. This year is turns thirteen. What new privleges come at our house with the big 13? Not really any beyond being a true teenager. she keeps pointing that out, but I want to remind her she has been acting the way for awhile.(you know where they are right and you are wrong. eye rolling, etc.) She knew that she wanted Cafe Rio for dinner and wanted the new Sisters Grimm book. Once again her birthday landed on Sunday, which is a hurried affair. She wanted crepes for breakfast so up early was Mom to get it done before church. She is getting harder and harder to wake up in the morning because she stays up to late reading in bed. I have started to shut off her light and 10 but that doesn't deter her. She didn't wake up very well for breakfast in bed.
We had a wonderful dinner of Cafe Rio at Grandma Peterson's house. She gets to pick out her own presents with a gift card this year. Two weeks ago she enjoyed a day off from school with her mom who also took the day off to go to orthdontist in Twin. It was a rushed day but we shopped, had lunch, and had her mom all to herself. So I count that has part of her birthday celebration, also.
Blakely has grown up into a beautiful young lady. She is about 3 inches shorter than I am and she continues to point out that she is getting taller. She loves to read, sometimes at the wrong times. She is a good friend to everyone and helps those around her. She is silly at times sometimes at the wrong times. Even though she doesn't always like the oldest child responsibility she is learning how to do it better everytime she is asked to do it. She loves music and shopping(too bad I am her mom for this one)She loves her friends and being with them. Blakely, your family loves you and are your biggest fans. Remember you can accomplish anything you set your mind too. I am so glad Heavenly Father selected me to be your mom.

Hope you had a great one. You are a fun and beautiful young lady. I love being able to be in YW's to spend time with you.
Blakely, you are such a beauty. I love the jewelry and your sense of style is great! I hope you had a wonderful birthday. Now you get to get DOWN with the YM at the church dances! You go girl! If you need any new dance moves, you know the aunt to come too. I can shake a tail feather when I need to! Happy Birthday cutie!
Okay, I just realized it's 14 you have to be for the dance thing, but we can totally practice up for the next year. Enjoy your first year as a big teenager! IT's the BEST!!!
