What?!

This girl is 5 years old.

Can you even believe it? I cannot that is for sure. Oh man this girl is special. She makes my heart burst with love. She is so many things I could never describe. I hold so many special experiences with her in my heart.


I had a conversation with Claire about growing up. I always tell her that she needs to go to time-out for getting to darn big. She laughs and says, "mo-om...." it makes me smile. She told me yesterday that Jesus wants her to get big and that she needs to get married in the temple. I told her that we needed to make a deal. A deal that we would see each other at least once a week when she grows up and if she gets married and lives far away her husband would have to be rich so he could fly her back to me every week. She just laughed.

Little does she know that I wasn't kidding.

Happy birthday Claire bug. You are just the best in so many ways.


I did the top of the cake and she did the rest plus the candles. Oh man, she loved those candles.

Happy Birthday to your sweet Claire. What a lucky girl to have you as a momma.

By the way, I'm LOVING your hair. You've got me considering bangs again. Help me remember the pros and cons? It's been a while.
