Thank Heaven for little girls: Logan's Birthday Month!

(This is Logan after her "make-over" - she usually does NOT wear make- up)

Is that my little girl who is turning 11 this month?? Really?? When did that happen????? I know they always say that time flies, and it goes by way too quickly....and it is entirely true. I can hardly believe my baby girl is growing up so fast!!!

In honor of your birthday, Logan, here is what you are up to these days.....

You continue to bless our lives with your kind heart, sweet nature, and loving commitment to your family. You are the best big sister anyone could ever ask for, and we are so blessed to have you as a daughter!

This year you have accomplished so many things!

You conquered your fear of flying, and we took our very first mother-daughter trip to San Francisco!!
You also conquered your fear of heights and rock climbed for the very first time!!
You have worked hard on your reading goals in class, and are really learning to love literature!
You tried a new dance class and I was so proud of how you jumped right in! You are very talented my sweet girl!
You have a fashion sense that I can not even begin to understand - it certainly didn't come from me - but I get so much pleasure watching you shop!!
You love your Itouch and downloading new music and movies from ITUNES
You have become a very talented photographer, and can spend hours making picture collages of your beautiful photos.
You absolutely LOVE taking pictures of nature, and especially birds!! :)
You have become a huge fan of your very, very, very distant cousins the Olsen twins! (And I think you look like Mary-Kate)
You like wearing make-up and doing your nails, over and over and over again :)
You got to see Taylor Swift in concert for the first time, and it was AMAZING!!
You have been commited to the Kingdom Seekers group at church, and I have had the pleasure of watching you learn and grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ as your Savior.
You received an Honor Roll Award at school for your good grades! Nice work!
You scored Advanced in both Math and Language arts on your state testing! We are so proud of you!
You dealt with the loss of your best friend moving to a new school with so much maturity, and mommy is very impressed with your willingness to make new friends!
You have been such a positive influence in the lives of your siblings, and have truly taught them so many things, from potty training.... to learning the letters of their names.....to singing new songs.

And as always,I am so proud of you, my little Logan. I thank God every day for you, and can't believe how lucky I got that He chose ME to be your mommy!!! I love you to the moon, and back and back!!!

We had such a wonderful time celebrating your birthday, Hollywood style!!

My very good friend Stephanie made this adorable Red Carpet cake to celebrate the big event! (Isn't she sooo talented)?

Logan is a party planning queen, and she planned everything! A trip to Yougurtland, then Color me Mine with her BFFs, then a Hollywood make-over, and mock Hollywood awards show....She is so creative, and it was my pleasure to oblige!

Here are the highlihgts:
