*** Happy 11th Birthday to our Jada Babe ***

Our beautiful daughter!

Happy Birthday Jada Baby!! I can not believe she is 11 years old. My how time flies.... Yes it is another birthday for our family. We have just recently had Daves, Daxtons and now Jadas. In two weeks it will be Braydens. July, August, and the first of September hold almost all of the important dates in our lives, except for Dawson Birthday. So it is a crazy couple of months ;\.

Today we started off the day with Jada requesting Lehi Bakery donuts for breakfast!! It made breakfast easy for me, and I can never pass up a request for Lehi Bakery. If you have never had it, you are really missing out. They are The Best Donuts EVER!!! The above picture is Jada with her birthday foot donut.

Every other year we have a friend party, and the next just a family fun outing. The birthday kid gets to bring one friend. Jada choose to go to the Hogle Zoo for her activity, and brought her friend Savanna with us. Lucky us we have a year pass, so financially, we got off easy. However we did let her spend a lot at the Zoo. We spent 4 hours at the Zoo. It was so much fun. Unfortunately, the Zoo closes at 6:30 so Dave was not able to come to with us. Jada was sad, but he promised we would party later. We brought all kinds of snacks. The kids got animal mugs to refill with soda, cotton candy, ice cream cones, and got to ride the carousel. All in all, I think Jada had a great time.


Jada did not want to wait until tonight to open presents, so we brought along a few with us. Daxton suggested we open them in the car, so we did not have to carry them around the Zoo. So here are some pictures in the car of Jada opening some presents.



Here are some pictures from our day at the Zoo!!



I think they had more fun climbing trees, than seeing the animals!

Our boys!

Savanna, Jada and Dawson. There is a Snow Leopard behind them!

Everyone loved the Carousel!


Dax & Brayden always have to be crazy!


Just some fun pictures at the Zoo & Playground!

After the Zoo we came home and had Spaghetti for dinner. At our house on your birthday you get to decide what to have for dinner, Jada chose Spaghetti? She is a funny girl. Then we opened presents, and had cake. She requested Brownies instead of cake! Here are some pictures of her opening presents. Dawson is not in any of these pictures, we wore him out at the Zoo. He went to bed at 7:45pm. He is going to be so mad at me in the morning, all he talked about all day was giving Jada her presents....hopefully he won't remember in the morning!

Our 11 year old Princess!


Jada got this Giraffe to help her remember her 11th Birthday at the Zoo!

She also got a Hello Kitty Telephone for her room!

The present Jada was most excited about...A fish tank!!

I just want Jada to know how much I love her! She is the best daughter, and brings so much joy to our lives. Not to mention she is the best second mom to Dawson! He loves her so much. Sometimes I worry he loves her more than me...Just kidding! Jada is so kind to everyone, and is excellent at sharing. I am so proud of her, and hope she had a great birthday!!

Love ya Jada Babe!!

Happy Birthday Jada! I can't believe she is already 11! I remember, I was her primary teacher when she was 5--time sure does go by fast--she is still just as cute as ever!

Crazy how fast the time goes! She is as cute as ever! Looks like she might like LPS just a little bit. ;) My Kelsie is the same way. Let's just be honest . . . I think I like them more then she does. They are just too darn cute!
