Rylee turns EIGHT!!!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful EIGHT year old!!! I cannot get over how grown up you are looking and acting these days. So big but still my baby girl. I am beyond lucky that God chose me to be your mommy. You changed my world eight years ago and showed me a love I never knew existed. Since the day you were born you have always been my Smiley Rylee. You have the most beautiful smile and the most contagious laugh that brightens every single room. Your sweet personality is one of a kind and you have the biggest most tender heart I know. I love how innocent, curious, imaginative, genuine, kind, and happy you are. I hope you always carry these traits with you because these are the things that make you so very special. You are a friend to all and love your family more than anything. Rayna is very lucky to have you to look up to. You were born to be a big sister. The bond you two share is such a gift and I am forever grateful that you have each other. Horses are still your one true passion in life and I hope it always stays that way. This past year you began taking riding lessons and have done wonderful and learned so much! I love watching you in your element. You continue to tell me all the time that one day you will be in the rodeo riding horses. When that day comes, I promise I will be in the front row as your biggest cheerleader! I have loved watching you grow and learn so much over this past year. Second grade had a few bumps in the road including a pandemic that ended school and forced us to homeschool. During all of the sudden changes you were extremely resilient while remaining hardworking and always staying positive. You make us so proud each and everyday. I hope you always know how special you are and I hope you always continue to spread joy to everyone around you with that sweet smile of yours. I love you forever and always!

Eight things I love about you...
  1. Your beautiful smile :)
  2. Your laugh - it is the best ever
  3. Your giant heart and how much you care for others
  4. Your love for animals (especially horses)
  5. How great of a big sister you are
  6. How much you love to organize 
  7. Your positive and innocent outlook on life
  8. How tiny but mighty you are
Happy E-I-G-H-T to this little beauty of mine!!!

 Small painting party with her besties from school. She hadn't seen or played with them since the pandemic started back in March. It was so fun for all of them to be together again. They giggled, talked, painted, ate cookies, and opened gifts. "It was perfect!" - Rylee
