Happy Birthday Emily!!!

Today is Emily's 6th Birthday!!! 

I can't believe she is six years old already!  We were remembering her birth and it was fun to think about the day she was born.  I was induced early Monday morning.  Grandma Shields had come to Boise from SLC to watch Taylor while we were at the hospital.  Her labor went easily and she was born at 3:30 in the afternoon.  I was so thrilled when Dr. Jones announced "It's a Girl!" She was the cutest little baby girl I had ever seen.

Here are a few of my favorite things about Emily.

1.  She is very smart and is always ready to learn new things. 

2.  She has a contagious adorable smile and laugh.  She really gets giggly sometimes, and when she does everyone around her laughs too!

3.  Emily has a lot great self esteem and believes in herself.  I attribute a lot of this to her amazing dance teacher Miss Julie.  She really helped Emiy gain confidence and become self assured.  Her personality has really blossomed and she has done great in new surroundings  like school, gymnastics, primary class, meeting new friends etc...

4.  Emily LOVES to eat!! ( She has an appetite like her mom's! )
HA-HA

She has always been a great eater.  She will try new foods and likes most fruits, vegetables etc...  She never leaves home without eating a snack, or bringing a snack with her.

5.  Emily is a peacemaker.  She is very unselfish with both of  her  bossy brothers and with her friends and cousins.  She helps others when she can.  She is so great with Elizabeth and is a wonderful older sister. 

6.  She is happy girl most of the time!  She truly is a happy mellow almost all of the time.  She is a joy to have in our family and we are so happy to spend time with her!

We love you Emily and we are so happy to have you in our family!!!
