Happy Birthday Rosie Posey! Get ready for a Two-ty Fruity Bash!   Dear Monroe, Two whole years have come and gone since you brightened our lives. Each day has been such a treat seeing you grow and learn and that spunky personality develop. It's hard to describe to people what you are like at this age because you are shy and timid around new people but sassy and stubborn around those you know. It's an absolutely hilarious  combination and I can't get enough. For example, you don't talk a lot mostly because Paisley does most of that for you. So we've been working on saying names together. I would say and name and you would repeat it back to me. The trick is catching you at the right time so that you want to play. There is no convincing you to do anything you don't want to do! Anyway, we would play this game for about two minutes and then you decided you wanted to play by your own rules. I would say a name a few times, "Mommy, mommy." But you would keep...

Dear Paisley, My baby is FOUR? Where has the time gone Paisley girl? Seems like just yesterday we loaded you up and moved across country with you only a few weeks old. And here we are moving across country again. I knew this day would come, but it's come so much quicker than I could have imagined. I have loved and cherished every single second being your mama. You light up my life and are, of course, my Sunshine Girl.  I dont even know where to begin explaining how much I love you. I've never met a sweeter and more happy little girl. Your kindness astounds me! You are always so eager to help whatever I'm doing, you always have a spring in your step and a song in your heart. I wish I could be just like you! You are so quick to forgive, and just as quick to laugh and offer a smile, what an amazing example you are to me! Even when I tell you no, you quickly offer up a grin and a "maybe next time!" Your sister loves you and wants to be just like you. Your brother is a...

I cant believe my little Posey girl has turned one this summer. We had a lovely party in Utah with Aunties, Uncles, Cousins, Nanny's, Papa's, Grandma's and Grandpa's, the whole clan {except Daddy who was working hard in Chicago...} and delicious chocolate cake, of course. We sure missed Gavin, but what a blessing technology is and that he was able to be there with us.         Dear Posey, What a blessing you are in our life. I am so thankful for your sweet spirit and spunky personality. The way you back into my lap to cuddle, melts my heart. The way you squeeze me in your tight hugs and sloppy kisses, turns me into a puddle (literally!) You even like to bite me every once in awhile and I cant help but think that is because I like to nibble on you all too often. I should probably stop doing that.... but you're just so yummy! nothing makes me happier to see you and your big sister playing together and having fun together. Poppy loves being your 'puppy' and you...

I cannot believe my sweet baby girl is already one year old! Where has the time gone? I was looking through your newborn pictures and got a bit emotional to see where it all began. You were so tiny and needed me for everything! Now you are growing into this big girl who likes to try things on her own. Words cannot express how wonderful this year has been. You have made me something I've always dreamed of being: a mother. I never knew I could be so happy. Each little smile, each little sound you make, puts a smile on my face. I can't believe the love my heart is able to hold, it feels like it will burst every day. Thank you for the best year ever and for many many more to come. I adore and love you so much my munchkin! Love always, Mama
