The new 6 year old in the house



Today Lizzie turned 6. Was it really six years ago that I held that cute girl in my arms for the first time. She was beautiful then and is beautiful now. I often say she is the one that makes me laugh the most, cry the most, lose my patience the most with, and see the simple beauty of the world the most with. She is amazing, frustrating, beautiful and stubborn all at the same time.

Anyways in honor of Liz turning 6- here are 6 of my favorite Lizzie sayings.

1. "I wish Heavenly Father made me be a dog so I wouldn't be afraid of myself." (Age 5)
2. While listening to U2 on the radio.... "Mom, is this country music? When I said no she then asked "Is it city music?" (Jan. 2010)
3. One day Ethan was trying to explain to Lizzie that we are mammals because we don't lay eggs. Lizzie's response was "Good! I don't want to sit on an egg all day because that means I can't go to pre-school." (Spring '08)
4. "I am never going to have a piano when I am a mom because I don't want my babies to fall off the bench." (Feb. 2010)
5. Telling here that tomorrow is Thanksgiving.... "Well, should we go kill a turkey today?" (Nov. '08)

6. And finally her first time on the Tidal Wave at Lagoon
"SAAAAAAAAAAVE ME MOMMMMMMMYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
