Teenager???

Chyna just celebrated her 13th birthday! I know, I know it is hard to believe that I have a teenager. I don't even feel very far past my own teen years. But trust me her attitude lets me know everyday that yes it is true. :P But truthfully she really is a great girl and except for the occasional eye rolling or thinking she is smarter than me she is a pretty easy teen. Hopefully it stays this easy.

As usual Chyna gets more than one birthday celebration a year. This is due to the fact she was born on her grandmother's birthday and a day after her great grandfather on Jason's side and a day before her cousin's birthday on my side. So she gets her own party that is just about her and then a family party eith one family and a family party with the other side. We are all usually sick of cake by the time we get done. This year we didn't even sing "Happy Birthday" by the final party.

Party #1 a sushi and sleepover party with six of her closest friends.


Chyna and her friend Leslie. Chyna hates pictures so it is very hard for me to get any of her looking at the camera.


Party #2 with her grandmother and great grandfather.




And finally party #3 that she shares with her cousin Patrice. Patrice was turning 23 and was home to celebrate with us. She has been at BYU for the past few years. Their grandma gets them the same gifts so they had to open in sync so they could see them at the same time.



Sunday March 27th was her birthday so I got some pictures of her before leaving for Church.


This picture shows how much difference in height Chyna and Savannah are now. They are only 18 months a part and used to be so close in height. Chyna has shot up dramatically and at her last appt the Dr said she would most likely hit 5'7" or 5'8".
