Wow, I can't believe my first born is turned 4 today!! It seems like only yesterday we were welcoming into the world, scared to death and excited all in one big emotion.
Taryn at 4 you:
count to 20 (when you think nobody is listening)
sing your ABC's all by yourself
dress yourself and have a strong opinion if I pick out your clothes
you make your bed
you love to play in the water especially the big pool in Brownfield
your favorite food is PIZZA (you are your father's daughter)
you love to go to church
you love to sing songs (especially made up songs)
you love to help cook
you love to boss your baby sister around
you love to still be rocked at night
you love books, you love to look at them and you love to be read too
you love to play with your basketball goal (you want daddy to teach you like he does "them boys" with your heavy accent)
you love to watch Olivia, Max and Ruby and The Backyardiagans
you love to go for a pedicure
you love when Miss Debbie cuts your hair
you are the most kind hearted loving child
you give the best hugs and kisses
you give the best compliments (I personally love to hear you say "Your the best mommy ever!")
you love life!!!
you are getting ready to start Pre-K :(
you love to help in anything that is going on and want to be involved
you can type your name on a cell phone and send it in a text message :)
Daddy and I love you so much and are so thankful that we get to be your parents and get to watch you grow up!!! So many people love you and play a role in who you have become today. It makes me sad that you are growing up so quickly but I know that you are growing up to be a very smart, loving, beautiful young lady and that makes me one proud Momma!!!
For your birthday today, I cooked you strawberry muffins (I wish I could say there were from scratch) for breakfast, then you spent the day with Papa and Carol while we were at a workshop. For supper we let you pick what you wanted and of course you chose pizza, surprise, surprise!! So we met in Lockeny and had pizza along with a cookie cake that I made you. I think you had a pretty good day!!
We will be having your big party on Saturday as you celebrate it with Aunt Kami who will be graduating from Texas Tech that day. You were born the August that she started college so we are celebrating together at Gattiland (pizza again!)
I love you baby, to the moon and back!!
P.S. I would love to show you a picture from her birth day but I don't know exactly where that disk would be. I have a feeling it is one of the few boxes still left in the garage. So for a trip down memory lane, go back and look at August 2006 pics.
