HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAIDYN!

Today was Jaidyn's 7th birthday!

It's really amazing how fast the time goes by. This is how we started our day:

This morning at 2 am. I was woken up, like usual, by a little voice in the other room yelling “mom, I’m scared”, so in order to not wake dad up I got up and went into Jaidyn’s room. There she was wide awake laying in bed. I decided to lay down next to her and I said “hey, you know what your 7 now.” She said “I am?” I said “yep, and I think I see a little tiny 7 year old wrinkle, oh my gosh you even look older!” She said “so what”. I said “how come you’ve got to grow up so fast” She said “I don’t know but I don’t want to, I want to be in preschool still” I said “yeah, your growing too fast, and then one day you’ll be married with kids of your own” She said “how come everybody says that? I don’t like boys” Then she said the funniest thing she said “well, besides I don’t think I look older, because that won’t happen until I’m 8” I said “it won’t?” She said “nope, atleast I hope not, I hope my face hasn’t changed too much, because I like it the way it is, I think it’s really cute”. She said “hey, I think my legs are longer though” lifting her legs out from underneath the covers, “yeah, they’re definitely longer. I’m taller! Oh, my gosh I’m taller” Then she got out of bed and said, “I can’t believe it, I’m so much taller, wow a lot happens when you’re 7”

Shortly thereafter, Jaidyn fell asleep in our bed.

At 7:30 a.m. Dad and I woke her up singing "happy Birthday" and some birthday presents to open. She was so excited! "A Razor! Finally!" "I've always wanted a scooter with no training wheels" She immediately jumped out of bed and started riding it around the house.

Jaidyn was excited to go to school, since we switched her track from green to Yellow, now she will be in school on her birthday. Most people wouldn't like that, but not Jaidyn she couldn't wait to have cookies and punch with all of her friends.

John and I had Homeowner's association meetings all day today and into the evening, if you've read John's blog lately then you know what that's all about. So after we were finished at our final meeting we took Jaidyn out for ice Cream at Swendsen's The whole place sang "happy birthday" to her.

I can't believe how fast they grow!!! She was a baby when we were in the ward and I always LOVED how cute her room was (as well as your whole house & all of your awesome things you would make!) I loved how you made so much of the stuff in your house & so I decided I wanted to do that when I had my own house. I always like it so much more when I make it myself!! Thanks for that!
