My August Baby

My Big Girl turned 7 yesterday! I can't believe she is already 7! She is such a sweety! We have been trying to do things different for the past 2 yrs. by having small parties with just family. So, we went to her favorite restaurant this year...which is Pizza Inn and had such a good time! Afterwards we came home and sang Happy Birthday to her again with another cake and opened her presents. She told us that this was her best birthday ever...lol! I'm blessed that she realized this year the importance of being thankful! I have to say that she is amazingly smart for her age and is so excited about being in the LEAP program this year! The LEAP program is a group of students with IQ's of 120 plus and have been ruled eligible by the Local Survey Committee. I'm sure this is going to be an experience for us parents as well...lol! She loves to read and is very good at Math. She also loves to draw! I will have to share one of her drawings soon! Loves to do crafty things...reminds me of myself when I was a wee lade...lol! She misses dance class ALOT...hopefully we can afford it again! Her best friend is a lil Mexican girl named Cheyenne. Its funny cause when she is with us everyone thinks Cheyenne is my little girl instead of Meri. She played T-ball last year and will be on the Soft-ball team this year! She says she wants to marry her daddy when she grows up...lol! Of course we had to explain to her about all that! She is getting to be sooo TALL! Right now she is up to my chest in height and thats not including her hair...lol! Speaking ok... she gets so many compliments on her blonde locks! She use to tell those who asked her "where'd you get that curly hair from"...she would say, "God gave it to me"...:) If that want put a smile on a parents face I don't know what will...lol! She loves to go riding on her 4-wheelers when we are out at their Nana and Pops. She is such a good Helper and is so eager to please! Oh and she loves Word Girl that comes on PBS. She also has a thing for Horses! Well it seems as though I can keep going on and on about my Big Girl, but I better end it here...lol! Oh...wait! I have to tell you about something she drew after VBS one day. She drew 3 crosses and I think she had on there I love you Jesus. Then she wrote "take this Jesus". She left it on the table and then the next morning it was still there, she asked why didn't he take it mommy? Of course I tried my best to explain. Anywho...I thought that was very sweet! K, I'm thru...lol!

Until Next time...:)
God Bless!
