It's hard to believe that it's been 9 years since I embarked on this motherhood journey. I can hardly remember life before that. 9 years since I woke up and didn't worry about some other little life. 9 years since I had the luxury of going where I want and doing what I want to do without planning around someone else. It's been 9 years since I learned that priceless lesson of how love can change your heart forever. 9 years since I held a little one in my arms so precious that I would do anything in the world to protect her. It's been 9 years since my heart somehow split in two and yet doubled in size at the same time. This is the girl to thank for starting it all off. She doesn't relish the role of being oldest. Lizzy thinks the pressure and extra responsibility is unbearable. However because we have been through so much and because she started me down this road... I think we will always have a special bond. No matter how much we bump heads... we always eventually remember that the day we met... life changed forever. How grateful I am everyday for that. Happy birthday baby girl.
Lizzy picked a few friends to celebrate with on her birthday. We all went to Cici's Pizza and ate until we were sick. We're glad Lizzy has such great friends.
Lizzy picked this cake recipe out of the Children's Friend magazine and requested it for her birthday. It was President Monsons mom's recipe.
