Happy Birthday Taylor Grace!

Tay Tay, you are nine years old!
How can that be??

Taylor Grace,
You bring us such joy each and every day.

You are such a big helper;
whether helping Daddy out in the shop,
or cleaning with Mama in the house,
you are always happy to lend a hand.

You like things neat and tidy,
and keep your room spick and span.

You LOVE animals.
From toting Luna around, to letting Diamond chase you,
and even getting the calves to eat from your hand,
you have such a calming way with our pets.

You always smell SO good, lol!
I know that's a funny thing to include in a birthday post,
but you have about a million different lotions and fragrance sprays,
and you always smell so delicious.

One of the things I love most right now is how much you enjoy being read to.
You couldn't sit still long enough for stories when you were tiny,
so it is such a joy to be able to snuggle and read together now.
And you love reading on your own as well.
You often have a book in your hand!

You are our bright ray of sunshine, Miss Tay,
and we can't wait to see what this year has in store for you!

Love you to the moon!

Happy 9th Birthday, Kameryn Faith

My sweet, Kameryn Faith, you are nine years old.

Nine years ago today, you *finally* arrived ~ two weeks after my being admitted

to the hospital, but six weeks before your due date.

You were born perfectly perfect,

and have been a bright ray of sunshine in our lives ever since.

*You love to sing

Everything that comes out of your mouth is turned into song.

*You are joyfully willing to help others.

*You love any reason to celebrate, and are the first to plan a party.

*You are super tall for your age, and have the thickest, most beautiful naturally wavy hair that is always getting complimented.

*You love adventure.

*You are quick to make friends.

No one is a stranger, and you are super friendly and outgoing.

*** And you continually remind others of the blessings of this life***

Every day you wake up proclaiming: "This is going to be the best day ever".

And whether we are headed off on a trip, or just going to have our tires rotated, 

it makes no difference to you.  You are equally thrilled with it all.

You have taught us so much, and it is our privilege to be able to live this life with you.

Love you to the moon!
