Rachel's Birthday Day

So, I'm not doing a very good job of catching up! I'm still over a month behind!
Since we celebrated Rachel's birthday a week early, we of course, have to celebrate it again on her actual birthday. So, before Josh went to work, we made a cake and sang happy birthday to her again.
This time I let the kids decorate the cake. They enjoyed the sprinkles... however there were so many sprinkles that I could hardly eat the cake.


We are so blessed to have this little girl in our family! She has taught me so much about love and kindness. I admire her great love of our Savior Jesus Christ. She often says, "Mom, Jesus is in our heart" She is growing up to be so bright and full of energy. She surprises us all the time with how mature she is becoming. When we took her in for her well check with the Dr, she was getting shots, so we waited till the last minute to tell her about it. She just looked at me like, "Mom, what are you so worried about". She had 4 shots, watched each one, then jumped down from the table like it was no big deal. (To compare, we literally had to hold Elizabeth down for hers) She is also super bright. Elizabeth is learning how to read, so Rachel wants to learn too. She gets out the "learning how to read" book and recites the first few lessons perfectly! Then she wants to keep going to learn new ones! She is just very self motivated! What an admirable quality!
Happy Birthday Rachel! I love you!
