Happy Birthday, Rybear!!!!

My little girl is 6 years old today. I never would have thought she would grow up so fast. It seems like we cherish so many moments with the kids hoping to make them last forever but then before you know it, they are growing up so much faster than you ever want them to.

When I think of my dear Riley I think of a beautiful, independent, sassy, kind hearted, people loving, giggling, life loving little girl. She spreads joy every where she goes and always finds happiness in everything she does. I have never known someone to enjoy the life she has, at 6 years old, like she does. She could be helping me with the dishes or picking up her toys and make it fun and giggle the whole time doing it. Now don't get me wrong, she can be very moody, can sass back, and throw a few punches and kicks at her brothers, but when it is all said and done, she is quick to forgive and forget and she is right back giggling again. I just want her to know that I love her to the depths of my heart and am so grateful to have such a precious little girl in my life. In all our lives.
