Happy Happy Birthday my sweet girl. Seven short years ago you entered our family causing chaos and making us whole. We were stunned to have such a beautiful and precious GIRL in our lives. Since then you have brought us nothing but joy and laughter and love (and more chaos).
You are going to be a big second grader this year. First grade was a breeze for you, you excelled in all areas of school and gained the adoration of your teacher. I know second grade will be no different. You love music and spend hours in your room listening to your CD's and reading or playing or dancing and singing, mostly Frozen songs. You were even brave enough to sing two Frozen songs in the talent show at your summer camp. I was so proud of you!
You still love horses and enjoyed your first rodeo recently, which has only caused you to ask for a horse at least a dozen times a day since then. That and a dog or cat. To which our reply is always that we are never home to take care of either.
You continue to be an amazing ball player. You were invited to play a tournament with a different team of all boys this summer, and showed them all up. We all laughed when one of them said "she's a girl, and she's better than we are!". You even won the "best hustle" award at baseball camp this summer. You and your friend Raya were the only girls in the camp and did better than most of the boys. Keep showing those boys how girls really play. You branched out and tried gymnastics this year as well, and loved it, and are having a hard time deciding between baseball and gymnastics for the fall.
You are still your brother's biggest fan, and don't complain (much) about endless hours on weekends going to his ballgames. You even argued with the umps this year when they called strikes on him that you thought were clearly not. You are happiest when he is playing with you and including you with his friends, and are the most heart broken when he does not. You make friends wherever you go, and are a social bug. Your best friend is still Kaila but most of your time is spent with Austin and his friends.
You are amazing and brave and funny and kind hearted, and I love you so much more than you will ever know. I am so thankful for you.
