I can not believe my little girl turned 5 yesterday. I remember when she was born, and I was so happy to finally have her out, after all the complications. It was much better for her, even though she was just over 6 pounds. She has been a beautiful girl from birth and Ryan and I are so lucky to have her. She is such a good little girl. She is thoughtful, thankful, responsible, and has a great testimony of the gospel. She says such sweet prayers and has a testimony of that. One time she was praying when our battery died, just as she said the prayer, the car started. She did not see Ryan with the jumper cables on the other side of the hood, she just said, "Heavenly Father started the car!" She is a great example to me. She is sweet when she plays with her little brother, and tries so hard to be a good example to him. She is so smart, I am so nervous for her to start school, but she wants the challenge and to learn more. She always tells me that Heavenly Father gave her to me since I am so forgetful and she remembers everything-literally. We love having Annika in our family and we love watching her grow up.
We started the day with strawberry and whip cream crepes (Annika's choice). Luckily we got them done before the power went out all day because of a truck that hit a power pole. We did not get our cake baked in time. We will save that for this weekend in Vegas, I guess!
The kids and I spent the entire day at Raging Waters Water Park with Aunt Shell, Uncle Eddy, Dax and Eddy's extended family. We played together in the water and did water slides and toys all day. It was too much fun and the best way to spend her 5th birthday.
We ended the day at Chili's for a yummy dinner where they even sang to her! We came home and she got to play her new Diego Wii game and go to bed with her new Jasmine Barbie doll! We had a great day!

Wow! I can't believe Annika is 5! It seems like yesterday we walked down the street to your house for games or dinner or something and she was just a teeny tiny baby. Crazy!
She is such a beautiful little girl - what a cute little newborn picture. I think she looks a lot like you. I can tell that you love being her mommy :) Happy Birthday Annika!
Oh my goodness five years old. She is such a darling girl!
Happy Birthday Annika!
School for Ryli was a healthy mix of all emotions. She was so excited to start, I felt really good about where she is going and Ty is with here. Shane works 2 blocks away so I know he can be there in a flash if neccesary.
On the other hand the emotional part of it was and still is sad. Cannon really misses her. She has matured so much just in the last week. Ready or not it's happening...
