16!

so i do believe that all mormons would appreciate these shirts. matt romano made rachel white and i these shirts. they say PUCKER UP...I'M 16!!!! on them with a kissy face in the middle. he made us promise to wear them during mutual. so we did. mom took a picture. it's kind of small, but i can't really change that. sorry. and hopefully brian will notice this anyways, but i did change the font for you!

Laree is a permitted driver!

so i just went to get my permit...and i passed! i was so nervous going in but it really wasn't that bad. i'm just happy to be done with it. Massachusetts drivers:WATCH OUT!



on saturday, dad and i got back from youth conference. it was so much fun. i didn't get much sleep, but i had a blast! there were so many fun things to do there and so many fun people to do it with. i had fun both with the girls/guys i had already known, met some new ones, and got to hang out with some of my most favorite people from the longfellow park wards!

Sixteen Candles

these are the cupcakes i made. i'm not sure you can tell but they
had starfishes and shells on them.
the hat that dad left a note on for me. how sweet!
my dress that betsy got for me. i had to make some alterations on it.
i.e. : i put a skirt and tank top under it.

the actual party!
