Happy, Happy Birthday Children Dear!

Happy days will come to you all year!

If I had a wish then it would be,

A happy, happy birthday to you from me!

It is common knowledge that I have the very best of the best nieces and nephew... Unfortunately, your aunt dropped the ball in calling all of you on your birthdays!

I hope all your birthday wishes came true (and I hope yours come true on Thursday, Lucy-Bear)

I love you guys!!!

May 31st:  Happy 4th Birthday Skye!!!

I am so glad that you are my niece!  You are so much fun.  You have the cutest grin and definitely know how to find trouble, giving you plenty to grin about.  Its been hard for me to get to know you since I've lived away your whole life, but I love coming to Utah and seeing what a cute, spunky little girl you are!  The first time you ever talked to me, I cheered!  I think you weren't too sure about that crazy lady that kept saying she was your aunt.  I'm glad that you let your mom do your hair sometimes, because it always looks so cute (and all the hairbows are a great addition) that was always something I struggled with.  I know how it is growing up with all brothers, and you're definitely holding your own.  Way to go Skye! You have a spark in your personality that makes me want to hang out with you more and more, you are just so much fun!  I love you!

June 4:  Happy 3rd Birthday Lincoln!!!

Can you really be 3 already?!  I remember when you were born and I was so jealous that your mom had her baby, but I still had to wait for mine!  I'm pretty sure you were the only one of your parent's kids that has come close to comparing in size with my kids.  I love your big eyes and I love your silly smile.  I love playing catch with you and am amazed at how well you are able to throw and catch that ball, you'll be a great athlete before we know it!  I love hearing you talk in the background when I'm talking to your mom on the phone, your voice is so cute and you seem to be only a little more advanced than Levi, so it gives me hope for him!  I am so looking forward to you and Levi becoming the best of cousins!  I love you!
June 5:  Happy 10th Birthday Ethan!!!

Holy cow!!! How can you be 10 already?!  It really only feels like yesterday when you were a little baby I got to babysit and pamper.  I did a flashback post a while back for those of you who don't remember what a cutie he was... just click the link.  You have literally grown up into such a great young man!  You are so smart and terribly funny, though I remember a time you HATED it when people thought you were funny.  You set a great example to my kids when they're around and I really appreciate it.  You are kind and sharing and they think you are so totally awesome!  I know you don't really know me very well, now that I'm a stranger, but you'll always be cute little Ethan to me that I love almost as much as my own!
June 11:  Happy 4th Birthday Lucy-Bear

Lucy, you are such a beauty!!!  Simply stunning!  I love you so much.  I love to talk to you on the phone and hear your sweet, sweet voice.  I love to see your BIG blue eyes that just make me smile.  I love that you love to pretend as much as your cousin Jonas.  You two would make quite a pair creating your own world!  You have such a gentle, sweet nature people just love to be around you.  Thanks for knowing me, loving me and always calling me Kimily.  You are a sweetie and I love you.
