Guess who is just turned 16?!?!?  Yes, my oldest is now a licensed 16 yr old!!  I certainly do not feel old enough to have a 16 yr old!!! 

Her birthday was March 23....and she scheduled her driving test for that day.
Of course, the weather did NOT cooperate at all.  It was extremely windy and raining as well as sleeting.
Despite all this, she passed her test!!!

Here she is on Easter smashing confetti eggs on her sisters head.  (This is a tradition that we partake in at my in-laws home every Easter!)

Becca's birthday party is this coming Saturday.  Of course, I think every 16 yr old wants a car for their birthday... She is fortunate enough to get one.
We found a steal of a deal on a car locally... I am having a hard time keeping it a secret from her.

I am going to have to capture the look on her face when she gets the keys.

Honestly, this car is to help me out also. 
Becca is in before school activities, as well as after school activities. 
I wont have to be running her to and from school as much anymore!!
YEA ME!!

For those of you familiar with my yearly toy drive... here is a sneak peek!

This year will be the 4th year we are collecting toys.  Once again, we are going to donate to the University of Minnesota Peds ward.

My middle daughter has ongoing care here!  (She is doing fantastic too!!)

I have been extremely busy with outside work.. (not complaining!!) so I am slow in getting the toy drive patterns done this year.

So, can you guess the theme of this pattern set?
It is inspired by Bambi! 
They are not quite done yet... I need to add flowers, bows, and some embellishments

I am still in the process of writing up the patterns too.

Just thought I would offer up a sneak peek!
Thanks!
