Yep, our Cady Bug is 13 years old! Hard to believe!! We are so proud of her and the young lady she is turning into! Her future is so bright and we cannot wait to see where God leads her! This year, she wanted a party at White Sands so that's what we did. I made her cake and was pretty proud of how it turned out, other than some of the decorations falling off on the ride out there.
She wanted friends there and invited 9, but because of the time of year it is, a lot were traveling, so only 4 could actually attend. She was happy, though!

She also requested volleyball and asked for a more sturdy, official volleyball net, which she got as an early birthday gift. She and her friends played Colton and his friends and I think the younger girls beat them on every game or almost every game!
Another birthday request was her Daddy's street tacos for dinner and he was happy to oblige:
Colton invited some of his best buds to join us, too!

This cool bird, which I haven't seen out there before, crashed the party looking for crumbs, several times:
Colin and I pulled it off ! Always a lot of work, but always worth it to see the smiles on your kids' faces! It was a wonderful party!
Yesterday, the 16th, was her actual birthday, and she was a trooper as she had to get up super early and attend a 2-day shotgun skeet camp. I made her homemade waffles with sprinkles and whipped cream, though, so that helped!
A cute birthday balloon for her later that day:
For her birthday dinner, she chose Rudy's:
Then it was home for birthday cupcakes:
Besides clothes, books, and earrings (and the volleyball net), she got something she had been wanting forever - a new desk and chair for her room! Only problem was that now that she is a teenager, she has to put them together, or so it seems!!
She actually got her chair together while her Dad and I worked on her desk, which still needs a few more steps:
I think it was a very good 13th birthday!!
