Happy 16th Birthday

On October 28th Cameron turned 16!!! Can you believe it? I still can't.... Cameron has not had any interest in having a birthday party the last few years, but something about 16 made him want to party!!! We were happy to throw a birthday bash for him :) I had told him he better invite a lot of people to ensure a decent turn out. He had more show up then I thought would. With living so far away from Mesa High, I wasn't sure if these kids would make the trek out. Boy, was I wrong!!!! We had more Mesa High kids than we had Desert Ridge kids. It was fun. We ordered Chick Fil A nuggets, had chips, cupcakes, cake pops and drinks. Marc and I think at one point in the night we had about 50 kids at the house. We did have a DJ sound system so the house was rocking. Unfortunately, the cops showed up about 10:45. The party was already starting to die down, but the officer had to talk to us anyway. We just moved into our house about 6 weeks ago. What a good way to get to know our neighbors.... The music had already been turned down and there were only a few kids left (maybe 10-15). However, Cameron and Kaelyn think it was awesome that the cops came!! I think it was hilarious!! Hope your 16th birthday party was everything you had hoped it would be.

Loving Each Other

Not too long before school started we had to make the doctor rounds. Both kids had to get some blood work drawn. While waiting they found some comedy to occupy their time. I love this... I had always wondered if they would become friends... All those years of getting on each other's nerves (well that still happens too) I wondered if they would ever hang out or call each other friends. Cameron went first on getting blood drawn - per his sister's request. Kaelyn was a little nervous. After Cameron was done, he held her hand and tried to distract her from the blood draw. They are friends :)

Where has the time gone?? There was so much going on I had to take a little break from a few things in my life... my blog being one of them. I will try and catch up the best I can, after all my kids tell me how old I am getting, so my memory may not be all that good.......
