Last night after going to dinner for Colt's birthday, we went to New Beginnings for McKenna. I am sure you all know what that is, but for those who don't, or need a refresher, it is to welcome the new beehives into young womens. I was ok with this until they called her up to introduce her, and one of the leaders who use to teach her when she was 5 in primary gasped real loud and turned around and said "I can't believe she is old enough." After she said she was shocked when they called her name. And so was a lot of other ladies. We have lived in our ward for 13 years. So she was born in this ward, and everyones has seen her grow up. She is so beautiful, and I am excited and she get to go in young womens, (but not til June, just in time for camp, ahhhhh!!!!) I think Brett is having a hard time to, when anyone asks him if she get to go to camp, he says yes and don't remind me. I was in young womens for about 8 years after we moved into the ward, and the last 3 years I was camp director and everyone kept telling us that before we know it McKenna would be going. Well she is and now it is making me feel really old. Wasn't I just a beehive myself? I think it was just yesterday. How did I get a daughter the same age. Does anyone else feel the same way?

cute blog! You have the same background as my other friend! You are a blogging expert now. McKenna looks so old. I look at her like i'm sure you use to look at other "older" kids. I'm sure Aaron will be there any minute as well.
You may FEEL old, but you LOOK the same to me today as you did 15years ago when I met you but, I'm feeling the oldness too! Haden will be 12 and will become a deacon next month! But, stupid me, I just keep having babies! 4 kids ranging in age from 12 down to newborn...what am I thinking!??
