We celebrated Britten's big 14th birthday on Saturday. When I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday, her answer wasn't how I thought. Instead of a party with a bunch of friends, she wanted to spend it with her family. She planned a camp out Friday night in the backyard with her sisters and brothers. They loved it! Saturday we all went rock climbing at the YMCA. The kids had a blast and climbed for two hours. They all did really well. By the time we left they were so weak and tired they could hardly walk. Mathew fell asleep at 7:00pm and slept all night. It was great! Britten is such an amazing daughter. She is a great example to her sister's and brother's. They look up too and love her so much. I don't know what I'm going to do without her in beehives anymore. It's going to be as big of a change for me as it is for her. But in no time, Hannah will be in beehives with me. :) I feel so lucky and blessed to have Britten as my daughter. I love you sis!! 
A few shots of the rock climbing adventure. . . . OK quite a few shots. :)
The guides thought Matt was a natural.
Happy Birthday Britten! We Love You!!!
