and then there were two....

two teenagers that is!
Maddy turned 13 yesterday...
although she's been a typical teen
for quite some time.
She has been serving in her
Beehive class presidency for
the last 8 months,
she pulled straight A's
her first term in Jr. High,
and just two weeks ago
she finished her personal progress
and received her Young Womanhood Award.
We are so proud of Maddy
and her hard work in things church
and in things school.
She also went to her first
Jr. High dance on Halloween
which was "way more fun"
than expected :)
Maddy is one of 13 Beehives
and 23 deacons in our ward
who ALL want to do
EVERYTHING
as a group.
Thank goodness they're good kids
who we don't mind having around!
Maddy is growing up in to a beautiful girl
and we couldn't be happier with
the choices she is making :)

what does a 13 year old girl want?

jewelry

gift cards and music

art supplies

notes from her little sis,
clothes,
and cash




Candles, cakes, treats, and family...
can't think of a better way to celebrate
the official start of teen life!

Darling 13 year old girl too!
Did you say she finished her young woman award? Already? As in...the one that most people struggle to finish as a Laurel?! completely impressive.

I'm nervous for teens....let alone two teens....I will have two teen girls in seven years. holy cow.

So exciting for her! I can't believe we are in the teenage years with kiddos. Crazy how time goes by so very fast. She's a fantastic girl!

She is a beautiful girl. It sounds like she's a high achiever just like her mom!
