-The Life Of A Teenage Girl

Two august birthday's

Not only has this summer been bzzy with family visiting, my sisters wedding, us visiting my grandparents, etc, etc, etc... But also with family birthdays.

Usually the first question we're asking (among many others) is if we have a birthday for each month of the year (since there are 12 kids in our family).

Unfortunately, no that did not happen. We have a someone(s) in every month except April and December.

So for the month of August we have, my sister-in-law (or as my mom would say, "daughter-in-love") Tiffany Shonwise, who's birthday is on the 5 of August, the youngest in our family, Melia is born on August 16, next Josiah is on August and last is DeAtra born on the 23 of August (bzzy week 8 days i know :P)

Anyways, since i was camping with tiffany on her birthday i wasn't able to get photos of her birthday, and Josiah was up at my grandparents for his birthday. But we'll more then likely have another birthday celebration just for him [;

Anyways, we were at my grandparents for Melia's birthday (which she didn't mind because she had another birthday when we got back home, this time with gifts) =P

My grandma decided to do real flowers

on the cake which Melia thought 

was so "beautiful" :P

plus, she had this birthday banner (above)

and when you pressed a button it 

lit up and started singing!!

Next we have DeAtra's 

DeAtra and her friend, Autumn [:

adding Melia to the photo

when daniel saw what DeAtra got 

he looked at mom and said,

"Mom, i really, really wanted that Star Wars set 

for MY birthday in November"

this next gift i had a blast with 

wrapping... Or i should

say "not-wrapping" =P

When she opened it she was like,

"What in the world..." 

hahahaha

The toilet paper was NOT my idea (although it was pretty funny). 

I actually got Autumn's brother and my younger brother, Ethan

to fill the box with whatever they wanted.

"What is it?"

Finally she figured out it was
an ipod shuffle 

Well, that's all the birthday photo's (sorry forgot about the cake photo's)!

Even though, the month of august was very bzzy, it was such a blast! Wouldn't trade it in, for a slow month!!

Hope you guy's had an awesome summer! Don't know about you guys, but i'm kind've looking forward to this new year of school! Just think, in a year or two (or maybe more for some of you) school with be finished, and then starts careers and jobs!

Exciting stuff! [:
