Happy 11th Birthday (yesterday) Miss Alyssa!


Yesterday Alyssa turned 11 years old... I am having a hard time believing it. For some reason it really hit me yesterday more than most years. My little girl is 11 - WOW!I honor of her birthday I will write about 11 things that I love about her or that she is good at.

1 - Singing... she really has a talent for it and I am so glad that she likes practicing it. I hope she sticks with her voice lessons and gets really amazing at it.

2 - School... this picture is from the first day of 5th grade... She is good at school.

3 - A daughter... she is a wonderful daughter. She is always thinking of others. She loves to do little surprises around for me like cleaning or straightening things up or doing the dishes. She really thinks about our feelings... even if sometimes it is a little late.

3 - A Sister... she is an amazing sister. Shawn and her have the sweetest relationship. She is usually cute with Cameron & Ashley too. One of the days during spring break I found her playing "school" with Cameron & Ashley for about 3 hours. She is good.

4 - Soccer... Even though she doesn't always like soccer... she is GREAT at it. I hope for exercise sake she sticks to it.

5 - A neice & granddoughter... She gets along great with her Aunts Jelissa & Rachelle and also gets along with her Uncles Jarred & Josh. She loves ALL 9 grandparents and is grateful that they are all still alive to get to know and learn from.

6 - Being her... she is what she is and she is good at it.

7 - A friend... she really tries to take everyone's feelings into account. She is a great friend to a lot of people. I am proud of her for that.

8 - Crafty... She is super crafty and very artistic. She does a great job of "coloring".

9 - Kind & Tender... She kind to others... she worries about how they are feeling.

10 - A daughter of GOD... She is an amazing Daughter of GOD. She loves this church and the tender spirit that she feels there.

11 - All around great... I love the age that she is at. We are friends. We share clothes. We talk. We tell each other secrets. I hope this lasts. I love her. She is a great daughter.

Alyssa - We love you! Happy Birthday Princess!
