Kaela is 7 today!


Mom & Dad....Jeanne

Jana, Laura, Lynisha & Derek

Dalayna, Ryan & Relyssa

Meshayla, Morgen & Kara


Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Kaela,
Happy Birthday to you!!

So did you have the mistaken idea that the 12th child in the family doesn't get as much attention as some of the others?? New baby comes along, and everyone just acts like it's another day & no one pays attention... Poor thing, no one to love her, play with her, no new clothes or toys. Especially no pictures :*)

Kaela...you are so lucky! 8 sisters and 3 brothers. You definetly have not been lacking for love or attention!!
It's hard to belive you are 7 already. Some special memories to me are...Your love for "sleeping in the middle" Your special song will always be "let them be little". --All the fun I've had with you and Kara, just 2 years apart, and dressing you alike. I hope you always remain as close as you have been. Watching you grow up--way to fast! Your independence...You started combing your hair when you were three, learning to ride a bike at 4, and learning to braid your hair when you were 5, insisting you had to learn to read before you went to school...
The special memory of Dalayna giving you your first bath after you were born, with all your siblings looking on. Derek coming home and picking up his little sister and taking her out to ride on the lawn tractor to mow with him & teaching you to ride the 4 wheeler. Remembering how thrilled you were to be a flower girl for Emily, Dalayna and Amanda all 3!!
I know you'll make many more special memories thru the years. We love you Kaelie Dawn!

  8. I've been here a couple of times before, read this darling post at least twice, and wished I knew the little girl that brings such a light to her family's eyes.

    You have a lovely family, Maxine (and Leon).
