"I know a Girl, she puts the color inside my World"

My precious Aydee Bug is FOUR.  I just can't imagine my life without her in it.  She is hilarious, smart, adventurous, sweet, beautiful, dramatic and full of spirit.  She has really changed this past year.  She has grown into a little girl and so much of it is killing me.  She tells me all the time, "Mom I'm just growing up" and she is before my very eyes.

 Ayden is so much like me and Tye.  She is sooo very funny just like her Daddy.  Her and Tye can make up silly songs for days and just laugh by looking at each other.  She is also very smart like her Daddy.  She loves to learn anything and everything.  She is always asking me questions about how things work or why things are the way they are...sometimes I have to say, "I don't know Aydee Bug lets go look it up." 

 She is outgoing and very talkative like her Momma.  She loves to "run" things around the house and quite often I have to remind her that she isn't the Momma.

 Ayden loves clothes and shoes and jewelry.  She loves to dress up and play with her babies and Barbies.  She also loves to go with her Daddy.  She loves riding the tractor and four wheeler.  She likes to look at bugs and play in the sprinkler.  Ayden has also gotten over her fear of grasshoppers and tells me all the time, "Momma they are nice bugs."

 She is adventurous.  This past year she has snow skied, water skied, rode a snow mobile, water tubed, rode horses and will climb on anything she can reach.  If she can't reach it she will push something taller over to it to reach it...

 Ayden is also a good eater.  She will try anything once.  Some of her favorite food is asparagus, fruity pebbles, chocolate milk, noodles and sausage.  She is beautiful inside and out.  Her Daddy tells her all the time how pretty she is.  We are working on saying Thank you instead of "I know my Daddy's tell me that too"

 She is soooo fun.  She makes me laugh so hard every single day.  She comes up with silly songs and words all the time.  She is also very sweet.  Ayden has such a big heart and loves so deeply.  She prays for her family and her Daddy's cotton almost every night.

 She is a helper.  Several months ago Ryan had the stomach bug bad.  He was so sick for four days.  I don't know what I would have done without Ayden that week.  While I cleaned throw up she would "babysit" Myles.  She would even feed him a bottle for me.  I'm so thankful she is the oldest.  She takes care of both of her brothers so much and I know she will continue to when they get older.

 She is dramatic in most everything she does.  If she is hurt, she is dying.  If she is scared, she is terrified.  If she is happy, she is ecstatic.  If she is sick, she needs to be in the hospital.  If she has to go to the bathroom, she may explode.  If she has a teency weency scratch she is bleeding.  If she is hungry, she hasn't eaten in days.  If she is smiling, its from ear to ear.  If she is loving, its the deepest, sweetest, most pure kind of joy I can imagine.

Time has flown by.  We still rock our girl every single night.  I will rock her until she no longer fits in my lap and has to sit beside me.  I tell her all the time that she was our very first baby.  She is the one who made me a Mommy.  She will just smile and give me the biggest hug. It's true though; this little girl changed our lives forever.  She not only was my firstborn but she gave me a completely new identity.  One that I hold very high with the utmost importance.  We thank God for putting this little girl in our care.  I want her to grow into a girl after God's own heart!

She really is the color inside our world.  We just love her so very much!  Happy Happy Birthday sweet girl.  Can't wait to see you every single morning:)
