WE LOVE YOU LYDIA!!!!!!

SHE LOVED THE TOYS....

SHE LOVED THE TREATS.....

SHE KNOWS SHE IS ONE OF THE BIG KIDS AND SHE HOLDS HER OWN AND WE LOVE HER.

I LOVE THE DETAILS SHE GIVES ABOUT EVERYTHING.  SHE TOLD BE ABOUT RIDING THIS BOAT TO THE STATUE OF LIBERTY....SHE TOLD ME ABOUT HOW GREEN IT IS...SHE DIDN'T MISS A DETAIL.

I WISH I COULD FOLLOW HER AROUND WITH A RECORDER, BUT I COULD NEVER KEEP UP...SHE MOVES VERY QUICKLY.

SHE LOVES HER FAMILY SO SO MUCH!

SHE KNOWS THAT FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!

SHE HAS A GREAT LEGACY AND A LOT OF WONDERFUL EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW. IF SHE THINKS IT IS WRONG SHE TELLS ME THAT WE DON'T DO THAT IN THIS FAMILY.

SHE LIKES TO BE A LITTLE MOM TO BRYANT, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO LIFT HIM MUCH LONGER.

SHE LOVE HUGS FROM HER MOM AND ALL OF HER FAMILY.

I LOVE THOSE BIG BROWN EYES.  THEY MELT MY HEART.  SO MANY THINGS THAT SHE DOES MELT MY HEART.  WE LOVE THE TREASURES SHE MAKES FOR US..

MATCHING THE BIG GIRLS!

SHE'S JUST THINKING...I'LL EAT THIS DINNER QUICKLY SO I CAN HAVE DESSERT!

ALWAYS IN THE MIX!!

.  SHE IS THE ONE THAT LIKES TO FACETIME US ON SUNDAYS.  WHEN I ASK HER ABOUT THE SONGS THEY SANG.....SHE REMEMBERS...AND SHE REMEMBERS THE WORDS.

WHEN WE GO TO THEIR HOUSE, OR SHE COMES TO OURS, SHE ALWAYS RUNS TO ME AND CALLS, " GRAMEE" AND GIVES ME A BIG HUG.  SHE TELLS ME THAT SHE LOVES ME OFTEN AND OPENLY.  THAT SURELY MELTS MY HEART.

BEING THE 8TH CHILD, SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE MIX OF EVERYTHING, AND THAT IS THE WAS SHE LIKES THINGS.  SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO BE LEFT OUT OR ALONE.  SHE LIKE TO BE SURROUNDED BY HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS, COUSINS,AND FRIENDS, AND LOTS OF ACTIVITIES.

SHE IS AMAZINGLY GOOD DURING SCRIPTURE STUDY, AND SOMETIMES SHE SHOCKS ME WITH HER UNDERSTANDING OF THE GOSPEL.  SHE IS SHARP....SHE DOESN'T LET ANYTHING GET BY HER.SHE DOESN'T COME TO OUR WARD PRIMARY VERY OFTEN, BUT WHEN SHE DOES, IT IS A HIGHLIGHT FOR ME.  SHE SITS SO REVERENTLY.  SHE KNOWS ALL THE ANSWERS.....AND SHE SINGS!!!  SHE TRULY HAS MY HEART AND I LOVE HER FOREVER AND EVER.  I HOPE THIS FOURTH BIRTHDAY WILL BRING HER ALL THE JOY AND HAPPINESS SHE COULD EVER HOPE FOR.
