Happy Birthday Taya!

On January 2nd Taya turned 7 years old. I can't believe seven years ago I was in Sun Valley ID having my little new years baby, 8 days overdue but hay, she was well worth the wait.( even though we got totally jipped with the new years gifts.) It was right after 9-11 and I guess business's were hurting so we got a hooded bath towel from the hospital. This year for Taya's Birthday my mom and I took 7 of her friends to High School Musical 3. Then came back to our house to open gifts and have cake and ice cream. I think all the girls had a blast, they giggled through the whole movie, it was so fun! My parents were able to come out for the weekend, so that night we had another party with my parents and Justin's.

I feel so blessed to have Taya as my first child. She is such a huge help to me and rarely complains about anything I ask her to do. I try not to expect too much from her (being the oldest of six kids, I know how it feels to be a second mom) but I sometimes find myself asking alot of her. Taya is so smart. She loves school and is a very good student. She has always loved books, and started reading her first year of pre-school. She is very independent and can entertain herself, if I haven't seen her in a awhile she is usually down in her room reading or singing and dancing to her cds. ( I can't even imagine the teenage years, I am always asking her to turn down her music we constantly have Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus blaring through our house.) She is a very good example to her little brothers, and especially to me. She always asks me not to "say those words" whenever I slip up. She is very tender hearted, and hates when she has done something wrong it will eat at her until she confesses, she always says "I 'm not going to lie or I'll be in more trouble". She is such a good girl and I love her so much. I am so proud to be her mom! HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sweetheart :)
