Happy 11th Birthday!



Turning 11 just doesn't get any better than this.
Starting 6th grade at an Intermediate School with awesome teachers.
Megan announced to all her teachers that it was her birthday and to everyone she talked to.
While getting ready in gym she shouted,
"Today is my birthday!"
Megan has developed a very funny, or should I say "PUNNY" sense of humor.
Megan loves to read, loves animals and loves to ride horses ....but mostly read!
We went to dinner at Red Robin (yum!) and it was delicious, however, I look over at my kids and not one of them have finished their meal so I attempt the big MOM threat...
"That's it I am not going to take you guys out anymore because it is such a waist!"
and Megan's reply,
"How can you take us out....I thought we were all related"
It took us all a minute to get that one but the table erupted with laughter.
Courtney then tells Nicole they should start a Volleyball team but there will only be two of us so it will have to be Beach Volleyball but we'll have to wear bikinni's and then we need someone to play....Zac and Megan could be the other team.
Megan's reply "Okay but Zac is going to look pretty funny in a bikinni!"
Everyone at the Restaurant wished they were at our table.
