Happy Birthday, Isabel! It is hard to believe my little girl is 8 years old today! Where does the time go? I wish I could freeze time and bottle it up. You are growing up too quickly. A very special little girl with a zest for life, a radiant personality, and an infectious smile. Things I want to remember about your 7th year: - trip to Niagara Falls - losing your two front teeth - big trip to Hawaii with Nana - win 1st place in a pie eating contest at Linvilla Orchards - love to shop at Justice - love wearing Jean shorts and tank tops (dresses and skirts are not your style) - love the tv shows Good Luck Charlie and iCarly - love being a big sister to baby Kellen - love riding roller coasters (LOVE almost all rides) - dance at From the Top (hip hop) and swim all year at Episcopal - favorite dinners are Taco night and Broccoli/Cheddar Quiche - you LOVE to jump rope Today, we all went to Episcopal to watch your swim practice. You are an amazing little breaststroker! It always amazes me how you love to try new things and are willing to work so hard at everything you do! There is no question you are a girl who will always persevere!! We celebrated at grandma and grandpa's house tonight! Memories from the day: ping pong with you and daddy, amazing breaststroke laps, playing cranium, Kellen eating lots of birthday cake (at 7 months old), and when you opened your presents... You opened a jewelry box with a ballerina. Grandpa said, "Brady, do you like the ballerina?". He quickly replied, "No, I don't like girl stuff!!". We all yours laugh! You got your picture taken with grandma under the magnolia tree! We love you and are looking forward to many more birthday celebrations! Love, Mommy
