Katelyn turns 13

Here we are all ready to go to her Birthday celebration at Lagoon! She invited her 3 really good friends, Brooke, Megan, Jaiden and Jaiden's grandma and Mom Julie came. Of course her family came too.

No trip to Lagoon would be complete without the skyride. This is the ride that she had always wanted to go on at Disneyland.

Jet Star was a favorite with Katelyn too, just like her Aunts and Uncle. It was a fun time.

The Samuri is the scariest ride I have ever seen, but old Katelyn loved it. Here is a movie too for your enjoyment.

The log ride was a big favorite, but it was very cold that afternoon, so only Ken decided to go get wet. What a man, of course the girls would end up being soaked and not care.

It was Katelyn's big birthday this year. SHE TURNED INTO A TEENAGER. It is hard for me to believe that Katelyn is now 13. It seems like yesterday that Katie was born. We were all excited to have a new grandbaby. Angie didn't want to know what she was before she was born, so we all anticipated the big day. Katelyn has been a joy and a blessing to have in our family. Here is her birthday tribute:
1. Katelyn is a good big sister- even though Michael might think differently, she loves to mother him.
2. Katelyn has a great personality- she is such a funny little girl
3. Katelyn is truly Amelia Bedilia.- She truly takes things litterally - remember the "bear" spots. haha.

I know Katelyn loves her family and GRANDPARENTS. She is such a nice granddaughter and loves to help me and we all love her very much.
