My baby girl is a teenager.AHHHHH!!!!!!!

Michaela Elena was born Aug. 30, 1996.

Michaela is a beautiful girl and she enjoys to dress up and always has a great smile.

She loves to have her picture taken and no matter if she is freezing to death on Scout Mountain with her Aunt Jody telling her to smile, she's happy to please and smile for a picture.

Michaela loves to be involved and keep herself busy. She loves friends and going and doing anything and everything.

Michaela on her baptism day. She chose her dress and isn't she the most beautiful member of all those church.

Michaela isn't afraid to try it all. She got to be in the Dodge National Circuit rodeo and mutten bust with her brother. She was small and old all at the same time. She did do her best on the sheep.

Michaela always like to have her hand in everything. She is a great help and I'm glad she is so willing.
