12



Kate turned 12 on June 9th. I can't believe she is in YW's now at church and no longer in primary with me. I cried when the bishop called her to the podium and had the members raise their hands in support of her going into Young Women's. She is a great kid. She plays with her younger siblings, she laughs often, she's easy to get along with and just a happy kid in general. She is a good example to all of us. Matt and I feel lucky that Heavenly Father chose us to raise her.

We had three separate celebrations for her birthday. A friend party where we painted pillowcases and tied ribbons on flip flops, a family party at a restaurant in Needles on our way to the river, and an extended family party at the Teeples that she shared with Father's day celebrations. We celebrated for weeks.

She also got her hair cut off the day before her actual birthday. She donated it to Locks of Love.

My kids can continue to grow up and have birthdays, but your kids are supposed to stay the same age and never grow up. Well Kate is a very beautiful Young Woman!! She has been blessed to have great parents raise her!! I miss you guys and think of you often, maybe someday our paths will cross again.
