Lindy turns 8!

Well at some point in life my children will know how far behind I got with recording important events in our lives but for now they are totally oblivious and think I am ever so wonderful!

My beautiful Lindy turned 8 on August 27. I cannot believe I have an 8 year old!!!! I didn't feel old till this happened. Now I do know in the big scheme of life I am not old but still there you go. This was a mile stone for me, having a daughter who was 8 and old enough to get baptized (that post will be coming).

For Lindy's birthday party this year she wanted to have some friends over, play a few games, eat pizza, dance and have fun. So low key, yeah!

-learning so much at school. readying really well, so nice she can read books to her siblings now

-fun to hang out with, I love going on dates with her because she doesn't ask for a million things and loves to spend one on one time with mommy or daddy

-learning to love church and comes up with answers that are so inspiring

-read her first talks in primary this past year and even read a talk for the primary presentation in Nov (we were so proud of her because just last year she got too shy and didn't do her part, but this year she got right up there and read so well!)

I am so grateful for my Lindy Girl! She is my pride and joy. She makes me smile everyday and I know that Heavenly Father sent her to me to be my daughter and friend. I cannot imagine my life without my girl!
