things we love about ya:
1. it takes you 20 minutes to brush your teeth...you are too busy flexing your muscles and making monkey faces in the mirror
2. you ALWAYS give kisses - no matter what
3. you wake up happy & talking a blue streak
4. you tell us you love us about a hundred times a day - really.
5. you fly by the seat of your pants...always up for an adventure! (just the kick in the pants that mommy needs sometimes!)
6. you love to sing to the radio and know all the words to a lot of dierks bentley & kenny chesney ;)
