It's that time of the year again!

SUMMER! DO I NEED TO SAY MORE!

Happy Birthday!

My sweet little baby has turned 9 years old !!!!!
How fast time is flying by....I was holding her hand today and saw tiny little birth mark on one of the fingers....I remember her being new born and seeing it....it's still there....I don't know why but it made me look back at that great and tender day, when she came into my life. I am so grateful for the joy that Rylee has been to me ever sense. She always does her best in whatever she chooses to do. I have never, and I mean, never heard anyone saying anything negative of her. ALL of her teachers has always adored her and she has done nothing but the best in her academics. She is very sensitive and could be dramatic (ya!) but she is learning wonderfully how to master those two and use her emotions in a positive way. She is very outspoken in the house,(she gets it from Troy for sure)at times she leaves me speechless with her honesty and openness and frankly boldness, and I am learning how to help her to channel this gift so it will serve her in life well. She LOVES to write notes! Troy and I often are present with letters from her where she expresses her feelings of joy or sadness. She has even wrote a note on one of her math tests, to her teacher, letting her know that it was a hard test :) Troy and I just greened when her teacher told us, for it is so Rylee! I often find her reading scriptures by herself and she is saying her own personal prayers everyday (sorry to admit, but we didn't teach her that) She has the kindness of hearts! When she sees some one straggle, she seeks to help. Like taking her $5 she saved and giving it to a homeless person that she saw on the conner of the Wall-mart parking lot. She seriously worries about needy and afflicted that she becomes aware of. I was talking to her about humanitarian missions in the world and she was so fascinated by it. I SO see her becoming part of something like that one day. I love her so very much and am so grateful to have her as my daughter!
