Rebecca is 14 years old!

My 9lb 9oz, 22 inch baby turned 14 years old on Friday, the 5th of June and is still just as sweet as the day she was born. Dang I love that girl! We are so privileged to have her in our family! For her birthday she was kidnapped by her new Mia Maid class the night before and they all spent the night at her Mia Maid leader's home. Because she was kidnapped right after she got home from summer school, she had to do homework as soon as she got home on her birthday.

If that wasn't bad enough, she then had to go to school from 12:30 to 5pm! She had a great attitude about it though and never once complained.

While she was at school Jake, Nate, Tanner C., Tanner D., and Colton D. (Nate and Jake's friends) all blew up balloons and decorated the house with streamers. I thought that was really thoughtful of those boys. The day before that, they all plus their cousin Jackson spent the entire day doing yard work for Glenna to earn money to buy Rebecca presents. Seriously sweet and thoughtful boys!

Her best friend, Taylor who goes to summer school with her came home after school with her. She opened presents, had her favorite meal, bow tie chicken pasta that Brent prepared and then just hung out and played Sims the rest of the night which was all she looked forward to doing all day.

She got this bike that she asked and asked for. I actually might end up stealing it from her because I'm in love with it too! I found it on Craigslist brand new for a great deal but ended up having to go to some guy's condo in a scary part of Phoenix to get it! I'm so glad I had the sense to bring my friend, Mary with me!

We ended the night with some cheesecake for dessert. I couldn't find the candles I bought so this huge candle from my candle holder on the mantel had to do! (Look in the background at Jake. He is enjoying that drink!) I also love that she couldn't get off that bike to blow out her candle.
I love you so much Rebecca! Thank you for being such a good girl and bringing such joy into our family! I hope this was a wonderful birthday for you!
