Rayna turns TEN!



Happy Birthday to my little beauty! I cannot believe you are officially in the double digits. Although I miss you being little I love watching you grow. You have such a kind heart, an effortless sense of humor, fearless to no end, a love for talking, and a sassiness that always keeps me on my toes. Lets just say there is never a dull or quiet moment… and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

This past year you have really grow up. Fourth grade has been fun and you have worked really hard. Only one more year to go at Fielder Elementary. This entire school year you have taken on the responsibility of being apart of safety patrol getting to school early and staying late to help. You radiate joy and energy running car to car greeting and helping kids. Your ability to connect with people and make friends along the way is a gift. You are an amazing friend who gravitates to people similar to your personality – social, silly, confident, adventurous, and kind. Always remember friends are important but sisters are irreplaceable. I love your relationship with Rylee. It is something I pray you cherish for life. There is not better friend than a sister and y’all are so lucky to have each other!

Skincare routines, makeup, tumbling, and shopping are definitely your top favorites right now. You still have a love for gymnastics and make sure to practice everyday in the playroom or trampoline. I swear you are upside down more than you are right side up! I enjoy watching you each week at The Little Gym. Your strength and ability amazes me. At ten years old you have mastered your skincare and makeup routine. I'm certain you have more products than I do and definitely know more about these products than I do too. Cannot wait to surprise you with your big vanity for your birthday! I love that I can still count on you to go run errands with me. Your requests are always Starbucks, Target, Sephora, and Chick-fil-A. You enjoy sitting shotgun, cranking up the heated seats, picking a new Taylor Swift album to listen to, pointing out the cyber trucks you see, and updating me on all the fourth grade drama. I cherish these busy on the go moments but also our quiet moments. Mornings are my favorite because it is just the two of us when no one else is awake yet. The best way to start the day is hearing you sprint down the stairs once your alarm goes off and finding me to give the biggest sleepiest hug. You might be wild, loud, and intense but you are also the most loving, cuddly, and sensitive little girl. Never ever change. 

A full decade of loving you and what an amazing ten years it has been. There is no one who makes me laugh more, loves on me more, or drives me crazy more than you. You are one of a kind in all the very best ways. I am so proud of the beautiful girl you have become and feel so lucky that I get a front row seat watching you grow. Always remember to stay kind, curious, confident, and live life to the fullest. I hope today is as special as you are to me. Happy 10th Birthday my sweet girl! I love you forever and always.



Celebrated with friends at Momentum with a rock climbing party :)


Birthday morning! Woke up to birthday gifts... she was so excited to see her new big vanity and told me at least ten times how much she loves it & that it is the best gift ever :) Had donuts for breakfast, phone calls from family, visit from cousins, lunch at Freebirds, shopping with birthday gift cards at Athleta & Sephora, ice cream, swimming with friends, and ended the night with pasta at home and birthday cake. It was a good day celebrating our big girl! <3




Happy 10th Rayna! We love you so much <3
