Happy 4th Birthday Reese!!!!

How in the world is our sweet little girl already FOUR years old? She is growing up WAY TOO FAST!

Last night we sang to Reese and her sisters gave her a present since Cody has to work all day today. Reese didn't mind getting special treatment a bit early!

This morning Reese got a very special breakfast...

Birthday Pancakes

YUM!

Then we wanted to give Reese her present (which was is in the garage until after her party). 

This girl LOVES surprises!

Mommy & Daddy built her a 6 foot sandbox for the backyard! Reese loves playing in the sand and always ask "When can we go back to the beach?" We are almost done with the lid for the sandbox and it will be moved to the backyard after the party. 

Reese,

      

      We are so BLESSED to have you part of our lives everyday! You are an amazing little girl with so much personality. You are so incredibly smart and know way too much already - you can already out smart your Mommy & Daddy! You love to play, play, play! You also love to snuggle with Mommy & Daddy and it melts our hearts! You are too funny and you make us laugh daily. Everyday you when I pick you up from school you ask me to cook "something yummy for dinner". You never have been the best at eating your vegetables but you really have been doing a good job trying everything lately. You live to eat dessert - just like your Mommy! You are an amazing big sister - you are always holding their hands, telling them to come with you, telling them "it's ok" when they are upset, and making them laugh! You are still fascinated with BUGS and will point them out everywhere we go & then squat down right next to them to get a closer look. You cannot wait to ride on the school bus when you turn 5 and I just pray the bus even comes to our house since we are so close to your new elementary. And at the same time I don't want to see you ride off in a school bus because that means you are growing up. You are very well mannered and get highest compliments from your teachers at school. They say you are the best listener, best at coloring, best helper & very smart - we couldn't be more PROUD! We love you with all our hearts. Thank you for making us better parents!

Love,

Mommy & Daddy
