happy birthday goosie girl!

i remember when blake turned 6 and i could hardly believe that i had a 6 year old. now my first girlie is turning six and i can still hardly believe it. i really don't know when this happened. she is so big and extremely independent. she is the only of my four kiddos that doesn't mind being on her own. she takes on the world like she owns it. all day kindergarten was a breeze for her. no separation anxiety for this one. {and it absolutely terrifies me.} i have noticed a theme in her life. she clings to the men that surround her. uncle nick. papa. hewson. ky-guy. uncle kc. it's not a negative thing {yet}. i just pray that the men in her life will always be strong and valiant. six feels so big right now. my wishes for each of her candles:

1st birthday:

{i don't have any pictures because our computer was stolen}

i hope one day you get to experience being a mother.

it really is the best.

2nd birthday:

i hope you use this face on your husband and it works.

3rd birthday:

i hope you always will keep your spunk and sass.

4th birthday:

i hope you remember who loves you the most.

5th birthday:

i hope you've learned early how priceless you are.

and believe it.

mostly, i wish for you to find the joy in your life.

and always have a reason to keep on smilin'.

love you, baby girl.

and just remember, six is really still so small.
