Eight is GREAT!!

Eight years old. Really? This time 8 years ago, I was about to hop on a plane with my husband, a 2 year old and a newborn baby girl. THIS newborn baby girl who turned 8 years old last week. Crazy much? Yes, we are! Aaron's job has taken us on some fun adventures, but getting on a plane and moving to Alaska with 2 little ones has to take the cake. For now, anyway! Susie Q has been filling our lives with laughter and love for 8 years and I don't see any changes coming soon. She is so funny and has the best laugh of any kid that I know.

This morning she woke up, made her bed and rushed down to breakfast in her new birthday outfit. Grace and Parker could care less what they wear day to day. Susie....uh, no. She cares what she wears down to the headband on her little head and it's just precious. I love the way that God has made each one of my children so completely different and so special to Him and to us as parents.

Aaron was out of town and came back into town at 7:45 that night. Susie would have nothing to do with eating dinner without our dear family not being complete so we snacked and met Aaron at Chili's at 8:00 that night for dinner. It's a great thing that her birthday was on a Friday this year or we would have been skyping dinner with daddy and going to bed! ha ha ha

The waitress was so nice and Susie loved getting sung to at Chili's and of course, the Chocolate Molten Cake wasn't too shabby either.
We love you, SusieQ, our little fashion diva!!
