The girls went to their friends Hailey and Makenna's birthday at Rubi-Star Glam club in Edmonton. They dress them all up and put on music, special effects and a disco ball and let them dance. They had so much fun, what a hoot to watch...

Here is my sweet Kristen...complete with food on her face!! Kristen is the joker, she loves to make us laugh!

I realized that this is the onlyphoto I have of Jake from Jessie's baptism because while we were taking photos he was running in the halls and in the gym, so I took a pic of him up to no good in the kitchen at home...no surprise there!!

One of my Best friends Brandee and her family came to visit for Jess's Baptism...she is going to kill me for posting this picture...heehee

I can't believe my baby girl turned 8, man I'm getting old! This is Jessie in her new outfit from Grandma Sheila for her birthday.
