I'm sooo behind on blogging I'm firmly committed to making amends starting next week :) to get caught up. In the meantime, there are some events just so monumental that they have to be noted.... and while birthdays in general should always fall into that category, Bailey turning 8 is one of those moments for her Mom too. I can't believe that the little girl I anxiously awaited for so many months to arrive, came and flew right through eight full years of life in the blink of an eye. Time moves so fast and I wish I had a pause button, today is worth pausing.
So miss Bailey Sue, my oldest daughter... today I take just a minute to tell you how proud I am of you, what an amazing daughter you are to me and how much I love you! You are such a great helper to me, so often with a sure, or ok... whether its to pick up this, help Aly with that, finish your homework, go downstairs for that, play that with Reag's... the list goes on and on. You have you're moments, everyone does, but overall you are such a good sister! Such a sweet daughter, and so smart and beautiful to boot! I remember holding you the night before Chance joined our family wondering how I could ever manage to love another baby as much as I loved you. You were the first, so treasured to finally make it to our family :) we'd tried and tried and waited for you and I couldn't see how I could ever make room for another like I had you. And now I realize what a blessing your 3 siblings are, how they in fact expanded that room to love and I feel so lucky you lead the way! Happy Birthday my sweet girl, I'm so proud of you for getting baptized in a few weeks.... what an exciting time for you! I love you!
"Queenie" for the day in our house she had peach cobbler for breakfast, Dad, Aly and I took her Wendy's for lunch at school, we swam after, had sloppy Joes for dinner (her pick) and watched her new edition of Tangled (compliments of G Frame) and had her cupcakes and ice cream!! Family sang on Monday when we had FHE at Grandma's, and Rogerson grandparents are due in town in 2 weeks for the baptism to keep the party going... oh and there is the birthday party Friday night to watch Tangled... AGAIN! :) Go big or go home dad always says! xoxox love you

I love it! I can't believe she's 8 already! Bella's not even 3 and I would already like a pause button to slow life down a little.
Happy Birthday, Bailey. We don't get to see you nearly as often as we would like (like every day!), but don't forget that we love you! We hope you have a great baptism. It's such a great milestone.
