Hope is 7

Hope turned 7 on the 14th. I cannot believe my little 4.8 lb baby is 7. It makes me sad time goes so fast. She adores first grade. Jumps out of bed every morning ready to go. She is so much fun and has a great personality. She is rough and tuff, rips holes in all her pants ( 2 weeks into school already ruined 2 pairs). She makes everyone smile and completes our family. Her and Autumn "fight" non-stop on who the Princess is... guess who wins. She is the baby and knows it, plays her daddy for all it is worth (all the girls do).

We had a really low key birthday for her. She wanted a party but we went to the fair last week and going to Boise this weekend for Jason and Sharon's wedding, so I told her next year. My parents came over and we ordered Chinese for dinner. We got her a bath mermaid toy and some fart putty (I know, but she LOVES it). We also got her 7 balloons. My parents got her this little magnetic wood doll, like a paper doll kind of, she can paint the dresses and then change them out. They also got her a gift certificate. She really wanted this doll my mom couldn't find, so we will order it I think. Cake and ice cream completed the day.

The day before her Birthday she told me "next year I will be 8, then my daddy will baptize me and then I get the Holy Ghost". Awww it made me tear up, I loved it that she is that excited!

Here are a few pictures, they are backwards and I am too lazy to change them around.
