Happy 7th Birthday Mikelle...

My princess turned 7 years old on June 27th. We happened to be spending the weekend at a hotel for a last minute fun family activity before Steven started work. So here she is with her birthday breakfast of doughnuts, strawberries and orange juice.

She was so happy to wake up and see that the hotel room was decorated just for her.

We stayed at a hotel here in town that had a really fun water park. Equipped with a lazy river, water slides, and wave pool. Our kids were in heaven. We all had so much fun and it was perfect that we all got to have such a fun day for Mikelle's birthday.

Chase got pretty tuckered out

Her dinner of choice... Chik-fil-a.

Happy Happy Birthday Mikelle!

I remember the Thursday morning when I got the phone call that due to complications discovered the day before we were to get to the hospital and get this baby delivered. A few hours later my 1st beautiful baby girl was born and I couldn't of loved her more. She was perfect. Now 7 years later nothing has changed. She might be taller, talk more, and be more independent, but she is still the same beautiful baby girl I held those 7 years ago. Mikelle you are such a wonderful girl. You are so kind and thoughtful of others. You make us laugh with your quick humor and surprise us with your smarts. Our family is so blessed because you are a part of it. Thank you for being a wonderful daughter. We love you... Happy Birthday!!!
