Dalaney turns 4

I can't believe that Dalaney is already 4 years old. In some ways, I feel like she is already a teenager. Let's just say that she knows what she wants, and then she goes and gets it. She is probably my most stubborn child, but she is also very much a peacemaker. She makes us laugh every day either by some new dance move that she's created, a VERY sassy remark that she makes, or some song that she's made up all by herself. For her birthday party this year, she decided that she wanted to go to jumpin' Jacks in Springville. We let her bring a few friends with her. It was as fun as Jumpin' Jacks can be with a bunch of kids.(: That night, Mike and I took her to California Pizza Kitchen (that is where she wanted to go) for dinner. We thought that we had talked her into getting her ears pierced, but when it came down to it, she was not gonna have any of that. She opted for a cool High School Musical purse, some lipgloss, and a necklace with Troy and Gabriella on it. When we got home we gave her a Troy poster and as you can see, she loved it (a little too much). And to top it all off, Grandma Smith just took her to Build a Bear and let her choose a stuffed animal. Dalaney makes our life interesting and we love her. "Peace out American Idol!"

She is so cute! I too can't believe she is 4! You had her right as we moved! She does sound like she's beyond her years...i'm sure her older sisters help her in that area. Fun Birthday!

How are you? It is so fun to see your blog, but who is that beautiful older girl posing as Dalaney? :) It is hard to imagine that she is already 4! It was fun to hear from you at Christmas...hopefully you received our holiday e-mail around that same time. We miss your family!

She is getting so big. I can't believe how life just goes on without you when you are not there to watch it happen.
