The big 5!

You may wonder why Cami's face is the header on our blog this month. It is her big day one week from today. She will be turning five and I can't believe how fast those years went. Cami is a very sweet sensitive girl. She is always aware of others feelings and is sooo quick to try and help if she knows someone is sad.

I love her imagination and how well she plays with Taryn. She is the best big sister Taryn could have. When I was thinking about having Taryn my mom told me one of the greatest gifts you can give a child is a sibling.Then they learn how to share and get along in a loving environment before they go out into the world. Well Taryn has been good for Cami but REALLY it is Taryn who is lucky to have such a great big sister.

Cami is working on reading and writing and simple math. She loves preschool and her teacher and can't leave without giving her a hug. She really thinks about things and asks a million questions. She memorizes really fast and has about every songs she's ever heard memorized (her favorites are 1985 and the song by tim mcgraw about 123 like a bird I sing...)

She has great faith as well. When she is scared she naturally decides to say a little prayer and then tells me later that she could do what ever it was she was scared of because she said a little prayer and heavenly father helped her (for example going to the dentist).

She is just a really good kid-a really obedient loving kind person and we feel so blessed to have her in our home. We spent a lot of love, sweat, and tears getting her to our family and never ever in a million years have I wondered if it was worth it. Cami is worth more than anything. We scored big time getting her as a daughter.

Below is a slide show of some favorite times with her.
