Karsyn's friend birthday party

For Karsyn's birthday party she wanted to have her friends go to a firework show with her. First we had a bar-b-q and the s decorated t-shirts. They also played a cell phone relay race where they had to take pictures of themselves dressed up in costumes doing different activities. It was lots of fun!!

Karsyn is 12!






It seems like yesterday we were handed our beautiful baby to bring home. It's amazing how fast 12 years can go by. Karsyn has grown up to be a wonderful, amazing, talented young woman. She has taught us so much along the way. How to have fun, relax and enjoy each day. How to come out of our shell and not be afraid to express ourselves. How to love and laugh. Life is so much better with her in it. I always tell her she is my dream come true because all I ever wanted was to be a mom and I love being her mom. Here are some pictures of her growing up these last few years.

Florida Vacation

In March, we were able to travel to Orlando and Daytona Beach for a family vacation. Kelly had some classes to attend for work so Karysn and I hung out on the beach during the day and at night we all went sight seeing. We were able to climb to the top of a light house, visit a chocolate factory, tour Daytona Speedway and eat lots of good food. Before coming home we spent a few days at Disney World. We screamed on Tower of - I vow never to go on it again! Our favorite ride was Rockin Roller Coaster and our favorite park was Animal Kingdom. It was so warm and the weather was beautiful. The rides were a blast and we were able to relax and laugh alot! It was great to spend time together seeing another part of our wonderful country.



Easter


Karsyn got a Twilight bag filled with goodies. After church we spent time with family at Grammy & Bop's where the kids had a egg hunt. It was great being together on a beautiful, warm spring day.

Enchanted



Karsyn played Sleeping Beauty in Enchanted with her acting group Up with Kids. She was a narrator for the scenes along with Snow White and Cinderella. Her cousin Gatlyn played Rex from Toy Story, a rat and a bride. They both did an awesome job memorizing all their lines! They preformed lots of songs and dances as well. They danced to Dancing Queen and did sign language to Ever, Ever After. It was so much fun watching all the talented kids - although they were sweating under the hot lights in the crowded gym with no A/C!
