Makayla turned 8 years old on November 6. Wow these past 8 years have flown by, and I can't believe that my baby is already old enough to get baptized. We sure have been blessed to have Makayla in our family. She is a burst of sunshine in our home, she is easy going (unless Jordan is bugging her), she is happy, friendly, she loves to laugh and joke around, and she is so very smart. She is in the 2nd grade this year, and she is also at the top of her class. She loves to learn about science, and she likes art, and reading. She also loves to sing and dance around the house. We will have to show you our home movies of her shaking her bootie when she was 2. It is really funny. We love Makayla so much, and we are so proud of all that she does.
Getting your arrow of light and Weblos Badge is a great honor in scouts. There is a lot of hard work that goes into getting this award. We are so proud of Jordan for his accomplishments, and for his hard work. 
Jordan crossed a bridge from cub scouts, and is being welcomed into the 11 year old scout troop.
We are sad to say that Cheddar has passed away. Makayla's pet hamster died last Sunday, and she was very upset about it. He was a great pet, and she misses him.
I just wanted to brag on my husband. Rick brought be these flowers one night just to be sweet, and they were beautiful. Peach roses are one of my favorites. Thanks Babe.
Makayla wanted to open her presents first thing in the morning, so we woke her up for school, and she opened her presents on her bed. She couldn't wait to get her MP3 player.
Makayla has quite the funny personality. She makes us laugh a lot. Her new thing is pretending to be hip. She will come up to us and say, "Rap music is tight yo." I have to say the first time she did it, I laughed really hard.
