teenage driver #2...

 driving down the freeway...

and mad that i'm taking pictures of her!

kerianne really is a great driver. she has been across town to ahwatukee & chandler several times to see friends. these trips are extremely nerve-wracking for me... picturing her alone on the freeway where anything can happen.

it is super convenient to just send her to the grocery store when i'm not in the mood to go. ka-ching!!

her first solo adventure... running to the store!

{yes, I was a nervous wreck!}

sweet sixteen par-tay...

 wearing her "special" birthday crown!

 sisterly love!

a few of the decorations

 with best friends katie & brooke

game time! 

ending the night with s'mores!

sweet sixteen...

our sweet kerianne jane is officially 16...

on labor day!

(i labored long & hard for her 16 years ago!)

every april and september we take the kids out for their birthday dinners (combining kaisha & kameron, and kerianne & kennedi). the girls wanted olive garden. we enjoyed a delicious meal and then our waitress surprised them with candles, mints and a song!! it was cute!  

kerianne requested brownies in lieu of a cake this year - and i made her my special "homemade" recipe... yummy!

we can't say enough about kerianne! she has a sweet demeanor, a fun personality, she's always so happy, she  loves life. we are so lucky to have her as ours! we love you most, kerbear =)
