My beautiful Macee is turning 7 on January 31st. This year she wanted to do a party with her dance team so most of these girls are on her little Hot Shot team. She was able to invite her 2 cousins and her BF Emery. We had a lady come in and do their hair and makeup so they limited us to 10 girls. Our theme was "I wanna be a Rockstar" (a Hannah Montana song). Our featured guest was Hannah herself (HAHA). They had a ball.

I just want Macee to know how proud of her I am. She has been struggling a little lately with being the only girl. Part of the selfish mom is okay with this because I know that she will be my best little girlfriend for the rest of our lives. I do wish she could enjoy sisterhood but I think with 5 brothers she will be able to pick 1 or 2 that she can really bond with. I love her. I am so lucky to have her. She is the biggest helper in the whole entire world. I always complain because we are forking out so much money for dance but she is the Princess and I am sure this will be life forever. I can't wait to spend a week just her and I in Florida. All I can think is next year she will be baptized. This is such a hard thing for me. I know it should be this wonderful time and don't get me wrong, it is. But this is such a huge milestone in their lives. When Mick got baptized I was just so sad, not being able to even believe he was this old, let alone questionning if we had raised him right so far that he could be accountable for his actions and thoughts.

I have been soooooo blessed with wonderful children and I just pray that I can raise them to be good people. I love you Macee!!!! Your brothers love you and I know you are priceless with your daddy! Happy Birthday!

What a fun party! She is such a cute girl and I guess if I fork out money for the boys and sports then we can fork it out for dance right? I love Carrie's comment too! I think we are dang lucky to have awesome boys and one great girl. By the way, sorry about the whole picking up Mick from Mesquite thing. That was a crazy weekend and I promise you guys don't want the pukey flu that we had. Hope everything worked out.
