Rae Turns 12!!

Here is my beautiful 12 year old

I can't believe Rae turned 12.  She now is old enough to go into Young Womens at church.  She is so excited to be with the older girls now!!  For her birthday she got a new pair of converse shoes, a ipod touch (we got a awesome deal on it), and of COURSE make up from grandma V.  Thank you grandma!!.  Because Rae turned 12, she gets to go do something with me one on one.  So Rae, me, and a few of her friends and mom's will be going on a 3 day cruise up the coast in May.  We will be flying down to LA and cruising up to vancouver.  Luckily this was already bought and paid for before James got laid off so we will get to go. YAY!! We will have a girl party sometime soon as soon as James new job pays out a paycheck lol...
 

Here are some pictures of Rae over the years:

This is my earliest picture of Rae, I took a shot of this from EJ's journal.  I still need to scan in alot of pictures from when the kids where young.  Rae was about 2 here.  She was always a happy little girl.  This picture was taken back when we lived in Newark, NY. 

This is my all time favorite picture of Rae when she was just barely 4 years old.  :)  She ALWAYs use to and still to this day loves putting on make-up.  She was excited turning 12 and finally able to wear makeup at school and around.  The secret she is learning is less is best. A lesson she didnt know when she was 4. HEHE.  She is such a beautiful girl both inside and out!!

This is her make up kit she got for christmas when she was 4.  :)  Like I said she has always been into make up.

Growing up around all boys has it benefits!! Rae can ride our 4 wheeler with the best of them :)

Rae has always been second mom to AJ.  He loves her to death and is Always hanging around her!!

Rae loves her Daddy tons!!!  Daddy and Rae went to a church hoe down dance last year!!.  She is so beautiful!!

I love you Rae, You are a wonderful beautiful daughter.  You are the best!!!  Happy Birthday!!
