Happy 3rd Birthday Harper Sage!

OMG. Did I really just write that? YES I did.
Our oldest peanut is 3 years old. I can't believe it...yet I can. This little girl blows my mind. The things that come out of her mouth are crazy, beautiful, and really unbelieveable. Between working, raising the girls, being a wife and family member I have a hard time documenting all the fabulous phrases that come out of her mouth and all the wonderful qualities this little/big girl possesses. What I can say right now is that I am so proud of her and love every inch of her being. She makes me a better person everyday and I love her through and through.
Happy 3rd B-day to the girl:

• who says " I don't want to say bye to that princess" (@ our cousin Megan's wedding)


• who kisses her sisters feet before bed


• who wants me to lay with her everynight before bed and then when I go to exit she makes up something to be afraid of, like "I think I'm afraid of my ...."


• who says "yesterday morning" when she means this morning or yesterday


• who gives kisses, noses, and hugs everynight before bed


• who some mornings lays on the bathroom floor with her pillow and blanket while I get ready for work


• who gets so excited and says "that will be awesome" or "daddy will be excited"


• who says "bless you mommy" when I sneeze


• who loves to play the drum (she will pretend anything is a drum) and dance


• who loves to sing loudly to Mumford and Sons


• who loves me for me to list people in her life while laying in bed and will say "tell me all the people"


• who loves to play with her best friend Ryder


• who walks outside and says "it's a sunny day today"


• who wakes me up and says "mom the sun is up"


• who can count to 20 and recognize most of her letters (except she always skips 15)


• who loves to do arts and crafts


• who is so full of life and love every minute of the day (even the minutes she isn't listening and/or following directions;)


• who I terribly miss when I am away at work


• who is my constant ray of light


• who is the best big sister around


• who I love more and more everyday!
