Lizard's Twelfth Birthday

My little girl is going into Young Women's and can babysit...yes!!! I can't believe were are already at this point. It's crazy and fun all at the same time. 

For her friend party this year she decided she wanted a pool party...at night...sorta. It started at 5:30pm and the last girl left at 8:30pm. She has cute friends and it was a lot of fun.

Relay races with the beach balls.

The girl at the bottom of the picture didn't weigh enough and had a hard time keeping her ball in the water. :)

Pool Party Twister...that's because I'm a cool mom. ;) 

They were doing okay in these pictures but there eventually was a winner. Lizard was knocked down early by one of her friends falling on her.

Our pool lights change colors. It got dark just in time for the girls to see them.

The pool party was before our Utah trip and we celebrated with family on her birthday after we got back. Lizard always requests a strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting, but this year she went for chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.

Bummer that's she's blurry!

The day after her birthday she had her Junior High orientation. It was fun for her and expensive for me...they have you buy all kinds of stuff.

I wanted to get a picture of Lizard in front of all the hearts, but the Beehives from our church whisked her away before I could get one. They "attacked" her and took her to her very first Young Women's activity. Fun!
