Mia Turns 16

Performing at the Homecoming Game. The BYU cheerleaders borrowed their skirts for the annual BYU Black Out game.

Here you get a glimpse of the "Tude" Mia gives us ;)

Classic Mia mad face. Lips shut tight, chin jutted slightly forward, loaded stare. She's saying, "MOM! Stop taking pictures!" with her eyes.

But then she got over it.

Coaches: Cassie's the strict one, Kelly's the mom, and Lori's the funny one

16 Things I Love About Mia:

3. She's crazy about music and likes everything but country
4. Last night we laughed harder than I have in like 10 years. This is why:

(There are just so many reasons why this is funny.) Thanks for the card, Britt!

This is Mia's impression of the one daughter's pose:

Anyway, back to Mia's list:
5. She's organized and driven
6. She lets me borrow her clothes
7. She bakes cookies on request
8. She's a control freak (and I'm a slightly reformed control freak), so we relate well to each other
9. Periodically she cleans her room like crazy
10. She has about 150 friends (100 of which are boys—uh oh)
11. She can turn an argument into a laugh fest in a matter of seconds
12. She's really fun with little kids
13. She is honest and open with her feelings when we have discussions and then she listens to me and seems to accept what I have to say
14. She's highly protective of Getty, not wanting him to be exposed to anything immoral
15. She thinks old people are "so cuuuute!!"
16. She loves her dad and says he's the least judgmental person she knows

Love you, Bomber!!
