Our lives were changed forever.......We became parents.
That's right! AJ is 8 years old today. I can hardly believe it. She'll be baptized next month and I'm having a hard time swallowing the fact that my baby girl is so grown-up. I am so amazed at the beautiful, loving, responsible, wonderful girl she's become.Things I love about AJ:
- She tries very hard to include everybody
- She is the best big sister ever
- She is extremely responsible
- She changes diapers, Lady's clothes, wipes Tink's bum, and can get breakfast or lunch ready for all the kids
- She makes her bed almost everyday without me having to tell her to and she usually makes Tink's too
- She has a very "adult" palate.... she enjoys foods that most kids do not. Last year for her birthday she wanted us to take her to our favorite Thai restaurant (and she LOVED it). And she always wants bites of our leftovers when we go out to our favorite Indian restaurant. She likes sushi and California rolls and she likes MOST of the meals I make.
- She's very thoughtful and complimentary
- She has a very outgoing personality and loves to make new friends
- She's very forgiving
- She has a beautiful testimony and understands gospel principles so well already
- She is super smart, a quick learner, and a very hard worker
- She loves reading, playing with friends, and making any sort of craft she can come up with.
Her imagination is amazing.
- She's getting very good at the piano
We are so glad she came to our family first and we've told her so many times that God made her the oldest for a reason. She's very good at it. :)
When I asked her what she wanted for her 3 birthday meals, her response was:
Breakfast - Cream of Wheat
Lunch - French Toast and fruit
Dinner - Wraps
We love this girl and have loved watching her grow up these past 8 years. We couldn't be more proud of who she is.
WE LOVE YOU, AJ!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
