MaKayla's 16th Birthday April 14th!

MaKayla turned 16 this year, and it couldn't come soon enough! We took her and got her license on her Birthday and she started driving! Her pic is perfect on her license too!

She even got her hair highlighted for the first time,

I won't let the girls color their hair til they are 16 :)

  She wanted a lime green dinosaur cake, so this is what I came up with :) She has grown into such a wonderful girl. We are so proud of her and can't wait to see what her future brings!

MaKayla with Grandma and Grandpa Bankhead. Its tradition that Gma B makes all the grandkids a levi quilt at some point, MaKayla gives all her worn out jeans to help make so many of them, grandma thought this would be a good year for hers!

The Birthday Doll. Every year Grandma Hawker gives each grandaughter a doll there are 17 of them. This is the 16th one and it plays music. The last doll will be her graduation. The girls look forward to getting their doll each year!

She got a ton of clothes from her Mom Jennifer!

She got a pair of cute shorts and sandals from Izzy!

The whole gang! MaKayla's Mom Jennifer and Grandma Steele and all of our other family members came to celebrate the big day!!

We got her a gas gift card, key chain, and a new cell phone, all requirements for a 16 year old!

MaKayla loves jewelry and this is what her aunt Jess made her this year!

Her aunt Tonya sent her this beautiful flower arrangment! It was perfect!

Well March went by so fast! I completely got behind on my Blogs!! We had a bunch of performances for Izzy and her Super Steppers group. They performed at the DHS Jettet Review, DSC Rebelette Review, and she also competed in her first Dance Competition! She is becoming a beautiful dancer, and is loving it!
We were able to score some sweet NASCAR tickets to the race in Vegas!! We were so excited and finally had enough to take Izzy to her first race EVER! Ali, her cousin, was also able to come for her first time. They both had a blast!
Brad turned 33 this year, and I didn't have 33 candles, or 2 #3 candles, so I had to improvise and cut a #8 into a #3! It looked a little funny, but hey it's the thought that counts right?
I raced in my first 10K!! 6.2 Miles! It was awesome, I am running 3-4 times a week and am at 9 miles so far! I race my first Half Marathon at the end of April. I have some wonderful girls to run with and I absolutely LOVE it! My Mother In Law got shin splints, so she hasn't been able to go with me, but she is almost ready to start running again!!
I love the Spring time and we get SO busy, but I Love watching my kids and all their activities!!
