Happy Number Nine!

Someone had a birthday today!

She's growing up sooo fast! I can't believe she's halfway to being a "legal" adult.

This is Bethany in her classroom this afternoon with her cupcake cake. I actually edited this picture but Picaso is having an issue with saving it.

Here's our girl after our dinner at Fuddrucker's. She got a free birthday meal, a free cookie that comes with the kids meal, an ice cream cone from grandma and the guy at the dessert counter gave her a brownie too, just because it was her birthday. After the cupcakes and the ice cream I asked her to please wait until tomorrow for the cookie and brownie!

Bethany,

What can I say my sweet girl, you are growing up so fast. I feel that if I blink your going to be on your way out the door, all grown up and chasing your dreams. You are a bright spot in our lives Baby Girl! Don't stop being you and don't let anyone tell you that who you are is not okay. God created you with a mighty purpose and I love getting glimpses of who you're becoming every now and then.

My big hearted kid, you never cease to bless those around you! Let God lead you and as you grow in Him and as you do I pray that you will continue to be a blessing to those many, many others you will meet and encounter along the way.

All our love,

Mom and Dad
