Random pics of Chelsea and friends

Chelsea is growing into quite the indpendent young woman. She is at the age where it's not fun or cool to hang out with your family. As a result, she sometimes gets left out of the things that I'm blogging. I know how important it is to hang out with your friends and want to support that for her, but I also want her to know how much I love her and I'm so glad she is a part of our family. Sometimes I find out more about what she is doing by her posts on facebook. But I especially love seeing the fun pictures of her and her friends that pop up there. She still enjoys playing with the pictures and editing them which enhances the fun. I love that she is becoming a beautiful, strong young lady with so many wonderful talents. She is doing well in school and is on the Honor Roll!!! She does this all on her own. She is self motivated and knows how important good grades are. We are so lucky she is in our family.



She wanted to have turquoise highlights and I didn't object. I found some dye that would wash out after a couple months and we spent one saturday dyeing and re-dyeing her hair. It wasn't nearly as bold as she wanted and didn't last long. A girl in her class told her that next time we need to do the blond highlights first and then put the color over that. We'll have to try that next time.





Katie and Chelsea are almost inseparable. They met in seminary and she doesn't live to far from us. They love to hang out together and their favorite past-time is attending movies. We love having Katie in our home and it's good to hear them laughing together about the drama that can go on in High School. We are glad Chelsea has a BFF but unfortunately Katie is planning on moving this summer. They are enjoying the good times while they can.


She doesn't like this last one but I grabbed it off facebook before it could be deleted. I think it captures that "girls just want to have fun" attitude or that silliness that you can be around your friends.
