I have lots of catching up to do and I am in the process of doing that. But for now I have more important things to post about.
Like about this beautiful missy turning Seven!
Last night as I was trying to organize pictures to update, I also was watching some videos of Paiglee as a baby and toddler. It made me miss that little girl but at the same time want to run upstairs while she was sound asleep in her bed and smother her with hugs and kisses. It sure made me think how time has flown by. Also I realized how much we forget as these little people grow. I have got to be better at documenting it and not just pictures.
Paiglee was given her gift early this year from us. We bought her a bigger bike at the beginning of summer. I made sure she knew that it was for her birthday. She kept asking for things and I would remind her she wasn't getting anything for her Birthday. Well she ended up telling her really good friend this and she felt so bad for her she said she would buy her a gift. Then as weeks passed I would hear Paiglee and her friend talking about what Paiglee wanted her friend to buy her. It was pretty funny, but I also reminded her we don't ask people for gifts. Paiglee struggled I think with the fact she wasn't having a "party". That was kind of the point. I mean since she was born she has had a big Birthday and parties. Which has in turn kind of made her expect that. We as parents don't want that.
I even struggled with this to be honest. I have a problem with wanting to spoil my children. Luckily I have a better half that keeps that in check. Plus with our past weekend being crazy it didn't leave time for me to do last minute stuff to make it big. This morning I wished her a happy Birthday and told her that an hour ago she turned 7 officially. After church I told D it didn't feel like her Birthday probably because I too have become accustom to the party stuff.
We did ask Paiglee what she wanted for her Birthday dinner. She said nachos which we thought was a great idea. Then I asked her what kind of cake she wanted. She wanted a rainbow cake and angry birds on it. She also chose the ice cream we had, reeses peanut butter cup. To also make it special my parents stopped by on their way to California with Paiglee's cousins in tow to drop off a gift for her. They stayed for dinner and cake and ice cream. She loved it especially since she had just finished a fun filled weekend with them.
I do think that it was a great Birthday for her and simple!
Her Rainbow cake
Everyone before they left!
Now just to be a little for memory sake.

She is taking swim lessons right now and loves it, I think she might have a crush on her teacher as well. She rarely picks a favorite color because she says she loves them all. She usually has lots of best friends because she doesn't like to choose, but she has said Abbi is her bestie. She loves family she loves to be with family and to visit extended family. She is sensitive and loves hugs and kisses. She is so smart and impresses me with all her education leaps. She doesn't like her glasses and is starting to become annoyed with them but realizes she can't see without them. She loves to be tickled just lightly on her back or arms. She is a goof and loves to goof around. She loves to have girl time or girl talks with me I learn lots about her during this time. She likes to make people laugh. She loves to wrestle with her sister and is a great big sister. She cares a lot about people and those close to her.
Like I always say I hate these milestones and birthdays. They just make me sad at the end of the day. To realize in no time at all she will be grown. I hate that part I really do I want her to stay small and with me forever at this time.
It feels she was this little just yesterday.
We love you Paiglee more than you can believe!
