Sweet 16

My little princess just turned sweet 16 yesterday. So here's a post to toast, or roast, how ever you look at it, her.

Who wants cheese cake for their birthday cake? Her every year.

I am glad to see she got all cleaned up for the special occasion. It's not everyday you turn 16.

Okay Mahala is notorious for stealing peoples' cameras and cell phones and taking the most random pictures of herself. Really if she sees a camera or cell phone just sitting there she'll pick it up and start taking pictures. I can't tell you how many people come up and tell me they got home and died laughing when they found a picture of her. So one day I turned my camera on and was looking at some of my pictures and I ran across these beauts that she left me. I have been tempted to delete them so many times when I start running out of room on my sd card but I am glad that I never did. Maybe just maybe by posting them for all of you to see, she might stop doing it. Just in case, I wouldn't leave your camera or phone unattended.

You thought I was kidding you, didn't you. I guess she's got more nerve than I ever gave her credit for.



Mahala just got her hair chopped off and she cried for about a week. She has wanted to go back to being dark for a long time but I wouldn't let her but her hair was so damaged from all the bleaching that I thought maybe it would give it a chance to get healthy again. Morgan took her up north for her early birthday present and they both went and had their hair done. The girl said she needed to get rid of all the damaged hair and boy did she. It is really cute on her. I am getting more used to it all the time and now I really like it on her. I still love blonde hair.

Mahala is a girly girl through and through. She loves to dance more than anything in this world. She twirls and spins her way through our house every day. I don't think she even knows how to walk with out throwing some sort of leap in there. She was going to be doing both cheer and drill her sophomore year but in the end it was just to much physically for her. It made her very sad because she loves both of the cheer coaches but in the end it just was too hard for her. She has scoliosis just like the rest of the clan. Her Dr. told her to just do one and not both of them. Mahala is counting down the days until she gets her drivers licence. It will be sometime in September. It would have been sooner if it hadn't taken her 8 times to pass the written test. That's a comforting thought for all of you who live close, watch out. She is a good friend and likes to have a lot of friends instead of just one best friend. She doesn't want a boy friend so that makes her dad happy that she's just happy being friends with the boys. She doesn't really enjoy talking on the phone all that much. She thinks it's a big waste of time. She used to love make up but not so much any more. She loves Jacob off of Twilight and she thinks that some how he is going to find his way to Fillmore and fall madly in love with her. I think if Jacob moved to town she would change her mind about wanting a boy friend.

I love Mahala. We have our moments of drama and disagreements but I know it's because we are so much alike. She is a good daughter and growing into a beautiful young woman. She brings the spunk to the Britt house hold.
