It's happening already! Shelby has been 13 for 55 days, and already she's behaving like a teenager... We finally decided to let her have a phone after what seemed like years of asking for it. We were pretty set on making her wait until she was 15 and able to pay for it herself. But there are times when we need to get ahold of her. Plus she's getting pretty good grades. But the real deciding factor was that the phone was on sale for $29 (after the mail-in-rebate), and Shelby had the money saved up to pay for it. So we decided it would be a good time to get her a phone.
The rules are that she has to maintain good grades (only A's & B's, with more A's than B's), she can't talk on the phone until after 6pm unless whoever she's talking to is on the same network as us, and she has to pay the bill every month.
She's a pretty responsible girl, so so far we're happy with her having a phone. Except for the fact that she is ALWAYS texting someone. (Thank heavens we have unlimited texting!)
Last night we took Shaylee & Sami to see Madagascar 2 at the theater in our neighborhood. They are reopening and had a FREE movie night to celebrate! Yay for us! They even gave out free popcorn and candy! It can't get any better than that! Shelby didn't go with us because she had Young Women's and had went to the free movie the night before with her friends. (There's proof of the teenage thing again!)

I can wait until my girls get into texting. We are still working on spelling their names.
I saw all the people at the theatre and wished I could go too, but the girls were sick. :( Sounded fun!
It is unbelivable how fast she has grown up. Even though we are still somewhat in the same neighborhood, I don't see her much. WOW!
Ha Ha Ha..you're getting old...you have teenagers!! :)
Shelby is such a cute girl, how fun for her to have a phone. How come I never hear about any of those free deals? Lucky you guys!!!
