Hi! This is my very own page. Thank you for visiting! I'm getting so big now that I can tell Mama what I want her to say on my page. Now I just need to learn to type so I can do it myself. My two little brothers each have pages of their own too. I hope you get to look at them Mama and Daddy say we're growing up too fast, but we're loving every day and learning lots, too. Thanks for visiting, and I hope you come back soon!

This is me and my little brother, Andrew. He was born 2 days before my first birthday and I love him very much.

This is me with my brother, Drew, and my cousin (the one with shoes on), Elec. He's a month older than Drew. This was taken around Chirstmas, 2001.

I was born on August 5, 2000 at 4:49pm. I weighed 6lbs, 15oz and had dark brown hair. Since then, all may hair has fallen out and came back in a lighter brown with red highlights and even a few blonde strands. Now that it's gotten longer, the ends all curl into little ringlets. My eyes are brown and can make mama and daddy melt.

I don't watch VeggieTales as much anymore, but I still like them. Mostly I like princess movies. I like to pick my own clothes because Mama picks ugly boy colors like blue and green. And I like to put pretty things in my room like my new purple curtains or the knobs on my dresser that are shaped like pink and white flowers. I love my little brothers and help take care of them as much as I can. I don't like vegetables, but I'll eat them with cheese on them. I like music a lot. I listen to Barlow Girl and KJ52 and Nicole Nordeman. I love to sing, and when all the kids sing at church, I know all the words and sing nice and loud.

These are a few of my favorite things:

Now that I'm 6, I have lots to learn in school. I read my directions all by myself. I can add and subtract, and I can count money. I can tell time on a face clock and I can sound out very big words. I have spelling tests and Bible class. I'm also learning about manners, health, how God made the world and things in it, and even American history. It's a lot more work than school was last year, but I don't complain. I love to learn, and I think it's neat that Mama gets to be my teacher. Next year I might go to a "big school," but we haven't decided that yet. Mama and Daddy said we will decide one year at a time. Nana helps me learn how to cook, and she also teaches me how to organize stuff. I love to plan stuff and put stuff exactly right, and Mama says I get that from my Nana. I also get to take a turn going to breakfast with just Daddy. He makes sure all of us kids take turns, so we each get a special time with just him. It's so fun, and I always feel like a princess when we go together. I love my daddy because he makes me laugh.
I am a Christian now too. I asked Jesus to come into my heart and he did. I try my best to do things that will make Him happy and not sad. It breaks my heart when I do things wrong that I know will hurt Jesus. I pray a lot that my brothers will be Christians and that I will be a good example for them. I'm so glad that Mama and Daddy teach us about God and how much He loves us!

I'm getting to be a very big girl now. Mama says I'm her best helper. But sometimes I get bossy with my little brothers. I have to pray a lot that Jesus will help me be nice to them. I am in first grade now and I can read as well as a second grader. I read everything I can, just like my mama. I love to sing and play video games and color and do school. I learn lots of verses in Awana, and this year I was one of the best players on my soccer team. Next year I'll get to play with bigger kids and I'm very excited abou that. Mama says I'm "such a girl" because I love everything pink and purple and pretty. I like everything to be in order and to match. Mama says I don't get that from her.
