Happy Birthday to my Sweet, Beautiful Daughter!

I can't believe you are turning seven today. It seems like just the other day you were born. I had no idea how you would change my life forever. You had so much dark hair when you were born. In the hospital when the nurses would bring you too me, they always had fun little bows in your hair.

You were the sweetest little baby. I don't think I put you down for naps until you were like two because I just loved to snuggle with you on the couch, since you were my first I could.

You are such an adventurous little girl, your just like you dad. When you were little and I had young women's on Tuesday nights, your dad would put you in the backpack and take you hiking with him. You loved it, just like you still do.

Your such a little dare devil.Just a couple weeks ago, grandpa told me how when you went to the ropes course, that the instructor said you were the youngest little girl he'd ever seen do some of those activities, like climbing the 30 something foot pole.

I remember the day we took this picture, you did not want to sit still. You wanted to be climbing on the rocks in your new little dress. The first and only dress I've made you.

The day we took this picture you wanted to go sledding down the hill with our neighbors so bad. We didn't have a sled so dad let you use one of my cookie sheets.

Look at cool little you!!!

I have always loved this picture of you. You are so beautiful, I don't know how on earth me and your dad ended up with such a beautiful blond little girl.
I so wish I could stop time once in a while. You are growing up way too fast for me. I wish you could stay my sweet little girl forever sometimes.

Sometimes when I do your hair while your sitting in front of the mirror, I amazed at what a lucky mom I am to have such a sweet little girl.

I love it when 3:25 rolls around and I get to walk out side and watch you walk home from school. I love hearing about your day, and seeing all the hard work you've done that day at school.

I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father picked me to be your mom, I am soooo lucky. Do you think you could grow up just a little bit slower though? Thank you for being such a good big sister, and for helping so much with you little brothers. Thank you for picking up messes when they are not yours. I love you so much, and I hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Love,
Mom
