Happy Birthday Phoebe

This little girl....
turned into this girl today.
Happy 9th Birthday Phoebe.

If the next 9 years go as fast as these first 9 years, I'll be one mess of a mom, because you will be 18! I miss my baby girl. Stay young as long as you can.
You are beautiful.
You are smart.
You are loved.

Happy Birthday to...

ABIGAIL!
Happy 6th Birthday to my baby. How can this time go by so fast?

Happy Birthday to...

ME!

I'll be OK. Check in next year, I might not be OK then.
I do thank the Lord for the good health and the all around good life He has given me.
I'm off to celebrate with my 2 daughters and 5 sisters. 4 of my sisters are older than me so that alone should make me feel better. :o)

Birthday Wishes

From this tiny bundle...

Fast forward 8 years to this big girl... and boy do I mean fast!

Happy 8th Birthday Phoebe. You make us proud. You're smart and stylin'.
We love you very much. May God bless you as much as He has blessed us with you.

Birthdays

Happy 51st Birthday Perry. I won't tease you about being OLD, because you still got what it takes to.....ahem...you just got what it takes. I'll leave it at that. Love you much.

Happy 60th Birthday dear sister. Good grief! 60! When did this happen? Today I guess. No way can I have a 60 year old sister. I know dear sister that we also have two older than you siblings, but you turning 60 just can't be possible. At least you have a younger kidney! ;o)

Happy 46 and a half birthday dear baby sister. 6 months from today we will be celebrating with you at your house. Summers end. I hope it's a slow 6 months.

I'm sick of cake.

The Party's Over... til next year

Abigail has quite the birthday week. She started receiving birthday gifts last Sunday and it continued all week.

So today's party came with a few gifts, but lots of fun.

Cute little Beanie Baby and M&M's from her friends down the street. (note: M&M's... upside down)

Hannah Montana stuff and SweetTarts from a cousin. (note: SweetTarts...upside down)
And the surprised look to her dad....what could it be?

It's her very own Nintendo DSi. (note: DSi...upside down) Thanks Dad!

Personally, I think this was a bit much for a 5 year old, but Perry wanted her to have one. Whatever. That could be a whole nuther post.

She loved her party. Nothing fancy. Just good food, good family, good friends, good fun.

And then she pooped out at her own party. Celebrating 5 was just a bit much.

Sleep tight sweet girl.

Where is the Little Girl I Carried....

A very Happy Birthday wish to Abigail!
Happy 5 to you!

On this day 5 years ago you made our family complete. On the way to the hospital, mom and dad finally picked out what name we were going to give you. We had 3 names picked, I looked over at dad and asked him, "well...what is our baby girl's name?" He said, "I think Abigail will be the perfect name". The meaning of the name Abigail is A Father's Joy, and she has been her fathers joy, and her mother's too.
We were so happy. Your big sister, Phoebe was so proud and happy to have a little sister. She still is.
You were a happy content baby...as long as someone was holding you! If you were put down alone, you cried and cried until you were held again. You don't cry anymore, but you still like to be held and cuddled.

Then you grew and grew, and turned 1.
Then you were 2.
Age 3 came fast.
You turned 4 and it came and went way too fast.
Today you are 5. You are a beautiful, smart girl. Mom and Dad can't believe you are 5 already! Where did our baby go?
We love you Abby. Stay funny. Enjoy school. Learn much. Keep loving God and following Jesus. Keep drawing, because we love your art. Keep singing with your sweet little voice. Keep on twirling, spinning, dancing, and skipping to the place you want to go. It gives us joy to see how happy you are in life. We should all have your attitude.

You have been such a joy to us. Happy 5th Birthday Abby!

Vlogemotions plus a whole lot more!

Tim @ Fort Thompson hosts this every week. It's lots of fun and you should join in. Check it all out.

Happy Birthday to....

Phoebe
7 years ago, this tiny babe was born. What a blessing and wonderful gift from God.

Phoebe was our 4th pregnancy, 1st live baby. To actually hold her in my arms, was amazing. God performed a wonderful miracle, knitting her in my womb.

She was a very good baby. Sleeping through the night by 2 months, poop trained by 16 months, potty trained by 2 years, and took her first steps at 18 months. She didn't crawl, just scooted around a little. Yup, she was easy. I just put some toys and books in front of her and she was set. (then we had our 2nd child, hoo-ee, quite the opposite child)

Age 1

Age 2

Age 3

Age 4
Age 5

Age 6
I've been saddened by her hair losing it's curls over the years.




But, she's still a beautiful girl.
We love you Phoebe Jean. You are a great daughter to us, and a caring big sister to Abigail. Stay funny, and smart, and sweet. And walk with the Lord daily. Enjoy your 7th year. Happy Birthday beautiful.

Now...sing it 7 year old!
