Happy 5th Birthday Alli Girl


I cannot believe that five years ago I was giving birth. I look back at how much we've grown as a family and how special Allison is to us and I'm amazed. It still feels like yesterday that I was walking down the halls to visit her in the NICU and I still remember how completely empty I felt leaving the hospital without her. It was only 4 days that she spent in the hospital but it was the hardest thing I have ever been through.

On this day I say to you: I am so thankful that you are strong, and healthy, and so happy. You are intelligent, thoughtful, funny, daring, focused, and independent. You love to read and draw. You are always creating new projects and although I don't appreciate the mess, I do appreciate how dedicated you are to learning new things. You have embarked on the new journey entitled kindergarten and you love it and I love that you love it. Every night when we do "high low" your high is always something related to school. You are the greatest gift that I have ever been given and I love you so much!
Cupcake time!

Once again I hope you never forget how much your mommy loves you and wishes for all your dreams to come true.
Better said by Rascal Flatts
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you're faced with the choice and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you

And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin' ?til you find the window
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you and the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get

Oh, you'd find God's grace in every mistake
And always give more than you take
But more than anything, yeah more than anything

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish, yeah yeah

My wish for you
Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold

And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish
(My wish for you)

This is my wish
(My wish for you)
I hope you know somebody loves you
(My wish for you)
May all your dreams stay big
(My wish for you)
