Candace's 9th Birthday!

I can't believe it! Candace had her 9th birthday on July 18.
She is such a fun girl. She has a sweet and fun
personality. She works hard in all she does and she
is a great helper. She loves to cook, read, play the piano,
scrapbook, swing, play games, and play on the
computer.

I got these pictures in wrong but oh well.
Since Candace was turning an odd number she
didn't get a friend party. She wanted to go
camping as a family. We weren't able to go until
about 2 weeks after her birthday but she was patient.
We went up to Monte Cristo.















Candace exploring and looking cute.















We brought glow sticks and that night we had
a lot of fun hooking them together in our tent.
Candace made quite the necklace as you can see.

Candace enjoying camping. It was beautiful there.














The beautiful outdoors. You can see the path
to the wonderful bathrooms.

shirt. She loves yellow right now.














The birthday cake for a 9 year old.
She also received her Article of Faith candy bar
at church on her birthday from the primary and
bishop for memorizing all of her articles
of faith. What a cool thing to get on your birthday!
Good job Candace!!














Sorry I forgot to turn this picture. She is showing
9 fingers to show her new age.














Cutie Candace and her mommy.














Candace has quite the collection of stuffed animals
that each have a name. She has them all
written down and she takes turns sleeping with
them each night. This was a new doggy she got
for her birthday. She loves dogs. As you can see,
she also got a dinosaur (from Toy Story) that
she had begged me for from Kohl's.
Happy 9th Birthday Candace! We love you so much!
