Elli Does Not Show Her Age

 Even though she doesn't like it yet, that will be a good thing when she's older!  She turned 13 this year and had a movie party at our house.  No sleepover this time.  They watched Bye Bye Birdie and had snacks for dinner.  The burgers are really cupcakes, so along with the chips and popcorn,  I tried to throw in some fruits and vegetables.  I'm glad she has a bunch of good friends.  Happy Birthday!

My Sister Will Be Famous Someday!

MY sister,  Brandalyn Athons, is a true artist.  Her clever creativity and unique style are among my favorites.  I am lucky to have one of her pieces in Amy's room.  She created my raw website, has made the cutest newsletters for Elise's salon, and even makes her own games along with her husband, Gregory.  Here she is next to her art work that was chosen above many many students to be displayed at the Boise State Art Show earlier this year.  I'm so proud!  You are awesome, Brandy!
