Prepare the Dungeon!

She is just growing up too fast and I swear she gets more gorgeous each day.

We will soon need to just hide her in the dungeon!!

Our little Katie Boo turned 12 on June 15th.

Seems unreal that she can be that big.

She wears bigger shoes than her mom already- she wears a size 9 in women's shoes!!

She is almost as tall as her mom.

It is just a bit much to take.

It is a good thing she is just so awesome.

We just adore this kid. She keeps us laughing, keeps us in awe of her tender heart and consideration that she has for others, and keeps us in wonder at how we can just keep loving her more and more.

Lately, I have been calling her VICE MOM.

She has been my right hand this summer when I really needed her.

Her birthday was going to land during GIRLS' CAMP- so we had her party the Friday before.

She invited all girls and went with a

"GLOW- IN -THE- DARK" theme.

{she has been getting a lot of attention for looking so "grown up" and it embarrasses her to no end!!}

{the girls getting the glow stuff all ready :)}



{there was a bunch of girls- they had a great time and I LOVED that they included Bekah and Liv so sweetly!}

{we just put glow-in-the-dark bracelets around the cupcakes}

{make a wish}

Here she is ready to head out to girls' camp.

I promise she was excited to go. She was just SO EMBARRASSED that her mom would DARE take a picture!!

Her Dad spent the first night up at camp and then got to spend her Birthday with her as a guide for the hike. We hear it was a little speedy. :) I was glad he could be there with her. It was REALLY weird not to be with my kid on her birthday.

WE LOVE YOU KATIE!
