• Loves going to gymnastics and learning new routines.  Esp loves privates with Ms. Karen.
• Happy and smiling almost all the time
• Continues to be a little daredevil, climbing trees, doing gymnastic "tricks", and acquiring many scratches and bruises.
• Tries to be like Parker and enjoys his company no matter what they are doing.
• She is our little innocent girl, still believing that everyone is her friend and forgiving hurts immediately though she often doesn't even realize she's been mistreated such is her naivety.
• She wakes in the morning, looks in the mirror and says "I look so beauty" and "Look, I have grumpy hair".
• We love that she thinks she can do anything.
• She is soooo pleased to be 5 because she knows 5 year olds ride the bus to kindergarten!

 Our girl is 5!

As always, she loves her present from Parker

Memories:

• "Mommy, I dreamed I was a WOLF! But I didn't have to blow any houses down. I was so so sweet that they let me come in."
• "Mommy, Dixie waked me up to play hide and seek. I telled her I need my beauty rest, but she waked me up again. Does she think I am already very beauty?"
• Lindsey's 1st choice for "A" show and tell item=iPhone. I was trying to kindly explain it starts with an I. She says "no Mooommmm, its an Aaaapple iPhone and I can show how to find Aaaapps in the Aaapp store."
• Spider situation at our house got totally out of control while our pool was under construction! Woke up one night and went to check on LRae. She was asleep with one hand curled around her teddy bear and the other hand clutching the trigger of her nerf gun.
• On the way to school one overcast morning...Lindsey: dear God, please let it rain so the grass, trees and flowers can grow, Amen. Me: Lindsey, don't lie to God. Lindsey: dear God, please let it rain so I can use my umbrella, Amen.
