Mulan's 11th Birthday!!


Mulan celebrated her 11th birthday on Friday. Here are some of her favorite things. She is still an avid reader and spends at least an hour or two each day reading whatever she can get her hands on. We frequent the library quite often in the summer. She loves basketball and has gone to a couple of basketball day camps this summer. She also likes soccer and is going to a soccer camp this week. She recently got contacts, we thought that would be better than glasses in the rain during soccer! She gave a talk in primary on Sunday and she wrote the talk herself. She even took the time to memorize the scripture of the month for primary and most of her talk was memorized. She was pretty proud of herself for writing her own talk. Needless to say, we were very impressed and it was a great talk! She is such a great girl and we just love her so much. People often tell us how lucky Mulan and Buzz are to have us, but what they don't realize is that WE are the lucky ones. She is truly and incredible girl and a wonderful person!

Lightning McQueen's 19th Happy Birthday

We celebrated Lightning McQueen's 19th birthday on Sunday! Gone are the days when he would get so mad that he would kick holes in the walls. Needless to say, his dad taught him how to patch up those holes. That wall-patching skill will probably come in handy some day when he has kids of his own. Gone are the days when he would tell us that the minute he turns 18, he was moving out! (What happened to that?) . I am happy that he has decided to stick near the home front for now anyway. I would really miss him if he were to leave now. One of my favorite things that I love about Lightning is that while he can seem rough and tough on the outside, deep down he has a very soft heart. He has just turned into a wonderful young man and I love him!!

Love these kids!!
