Happy 13th Birthday, Bean!!!

Wow! I can't believe there's actually a teenager in my house! Yikes!

We had a great day. Bean invited some of her best friends to go paintballing so she could try out the new paintball equipment she got from her Grandpa for her birthday. Some of the girls weren't too sure at first about shooting each other, but they all got into it eventually.

That's Emalion, Tiger, HB, Bean, Bear and Cookie all geared up like Warrior Chicks!

After paintball and lunch, everyone went home to shower and do a tick-check. Then, it was over to our house for pizza, cake and a sleepover! Bean had a great time with all her friends! Thanks everyone for making her segue into teenagerhood so much fun!

Last year of "Junior High" starts!!

We started 8th grade today. Everything went really well. We ended up deciding to put off Spanish until next year. Bean felt like she could handle it, but this Momma didn't feel like her Espanol was up to snuff for teaching without a net! We'll let Hubby handle that when he's home next year. Yay!!
