Happy 19th Birthday, Sierra Elizabeth!

Sis, I can't believe you are 19 today.

In my mind you'll always be the sweet little love who sorted all her toys into specific piles,                      and adored being read to. My little ballerina, and Daddy's favorite hunting partner.

To see you all grown up is bittersweet.  

There is nothing that makes my heart happier than seeing you happy,                                                     reaching for and fulfilling your dreams.              

But I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss the days I got to tote you around.

I pray that this year is the very best yet.

Full of memories and blessings, and God's direction on your life.

Love you, Beautiful Girl

Happy 10th Birthday, Taylor Grace

Happy 10th Birthday, Taylor Grace!

I cannot believe my youngest daughter is now in double digits ~ this day seemed so far away when you were just teeny tiny.  And now here we are.

Taylor Grace, you . . .

*Love animals, and are such an amazing caretaker. This year you became mama to your two guinea pigs: Rob and Dave.

*Love to be at home.  Probably more than any other person in our family, you are content to be at home in your comfy place.

*Often get mistaken as much older than you are because you are so TALL!

*Live for the month of December and all things Christmas

*Have a new favorite vacation spot: Arizona!

*Love it most when your whole family is together. Family is very important to you.

*Have the most infectious laugh, and bring us joy each and every day!

Happy 10th Birthday, Darling Girl!

Happy Birthday, Makenna Nicole!

Happy 16th Birthday, Makenna!

I cannot fathom how we arrived at this huge milestone so quickly.

One day you are toddling around, and seemingly the next, here we are . . . edging closer and closer to adulthood.

Makenna Nicole, you are:

*Compassionate ~ you have such care and concern for others. You are sensitive and empathetic, truly feeling for those around you.

*Creative ~ You are an amazing artist, and often come up with the most fascinating ways to problem-solve.

*You are outgoing, and make friends easily. You are quick to give second chances, and offer grace.

*You are hilarious.  You make us laugh every single day.

Happy Birthday, Darlin! We love you to the moon!
