Happy 20th Birthday to this Amazing Girl....


....who, bless her, got us for parents :) and somehow still likes us:) and puts up with the goings on of a very crazy life on a daily basis! We are so proud and blessed with daughter #1! Words are so inadequate to describe the gift this child has been to this family. She came into the world talking, singing, and laughing, and hasn't stopped! She is a true joy to be around and what impresses her parents most is the love she has cultivated for her Savior which she lives out on a daily basis. This love is evident in how she cares for her family (and all these sisters!), her job(s), her church and how she clothes herself in humility with her giftings, and especially how she honors and serves her very imperfect mom. God has given her a vision for missions....especially children ..that we have watched grow and are excited to watch come to fruition (if the Lord wills:)). She is truly a treasure! Happy Birthday Julie!!!! We love you!! More pics later cuz the party started today....and continues into tomorrow!

Happy Belated Birthday Julie!

I'll never forget you and your SOLO at 3 years old!!
Well, I guess you turned 4 by the recital. How precious you were (and are). You were amazing!

I think of you often with love and admiration for the way you allow the Lord to reflect in you.

With fond memories...
