Golden Birthday

When I was a freshman in college my roommate Debi told me her golden birthday was coming. What is that? I quickly learned, "I'm turning 20 on the 20th!" Guess who threw her a giant surprise party!? I never forgot about Golden Birthdays. I had mine (30 on the 30th), Scott had his (22 on the 22nd) and Reagan had her's (3 on the 3rd). When we realized the magnitude of Whitney's, we knew it was going to be a doozie! And we've told anyone who will listen... She will be 13 on June 13th, 2013!!

Obviously that day has come and gone. It was a great celebration!

Whitney has some great friends from close families, school and volleyball!

The girls played volleyball and then tried a water balloon game... 

before throwing them at each other to cool down!

Gotcha birthday girl!!

Time for a photo booth!

No shy girls in this group!!

The perfect party favor from our favorite chip lover!!

Icing on the cake!! A birthday wish from Misty May Treanor!

The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. 

The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no has ever been before.

I know Whitney will never walk alone, but she definitely isn't following the crowd! I'm so proud of who she is and who she is becoming. I love you Whitney! Here's to the teenage years!!
