Eight years ago today, you changed my life! You were born on 5/11/05 at 4:17pm weighing in at 6.5pounds and 17.5inches long. You not only turned me into a mommy, you have helped me become a better person. It's amazing all the things you and I have accomplished together over the past eight years. You have alrady had to endure so much for your lil age, I can't wait to see all the exciting things your future holds. =)
1st Birthday we celebrated at the lake with family.
2nd Birthday at our house with family.
3rd Birthday. . .Toy Story Theme. You had a family party at grandma and papas and then a friend party at a local bounce house.
4th Birthday. . .you had a pirate theme friends party at a local bounce house.
(Sadly I can only find video of this party. . .so here is a pic from the video. A new summer project for me: organize all of your pictures from my old computers!)
Mommy and B birthday dinner at Purple Cow. . .slurping up a purple malt.
5th Birthday. . .
Mommy and B breakfast at McDonalds. . .too busy watching the tv. =)
Friends Party: Star Wars Theme at ASI Gymnastics
6th Birthday. . .a Bowling Party with friends at Allen Bowl
7th Birthday. . .no friend party, instead (to my surprise) you chose to get a new puppy as your presesnt. =)
A week later, we welcomed a rumbustious Lilly into our life.
It's so hard to believe how tiny she was back in the day!
8th Birthday. . .(and Ava's would be 2 month birthday)
LIKES: your iTouch (texting and facetiming), Xbox, Lilly, Skylanders, soccer, dancing (but not in public), going to Dave and Busters with daddy, pizza and grilled cheese sandwhiches
DISLIKES: taking Lilly outside, making your bed each morning, homework, brushing your teeth
YOUR BIRTHDAY GIFT WISHLIST:
an iPad
a new baby sister
"one that you will be able to hold and one that will stay alive and live with us forever"
We tried really hard to talk you into a new bike, but for some strange odd reason, you don't want anything to do with a bicycle. So unfortunately, for the first time ever, we won't be able to honor your wish list this year. I can't fathom spending the money on an iPad for you, when I don't even have one myself! Maybe soon, we will get a "family" iPad. =) As far as a baby sister, it can't happen this year but hopefully for your 9th birthday you will be able to hold a baby sister (or brother as daddy pointed out to me). =)
We all love you SOOO much!!
