"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN"

Wow I can't believe you are "18" It seems like it was just awhile ago that you were born. I remember the day you were born. We were so excited about having a girl after 3 boys. You didn't cry like the boys when you were born. But you have totally made up for it. They took you down to NICU to give you some oxygen, to help you breath better. You have been a joy and a blessing to our family! Our family wouldn't be "Our Family" with out you!

This is the NICU, the nurses all loved you, and always fussed over you.

They always wanted to hold you and give you a bottle or just cuddle with you.

Your Brothers couldn't wait for you to come home. I dont think you ever slept in a bed or touched the floor for 6 months cause they were always holding YOU!

Woohoo 1 years old! You were such a happy baby.

You loved to paint. Here you are at 2 years old. Actually you loved doing anything that involved your brothers and whatever they were doing.

When you had to have surgery on your legs at 4 years old, you would scoot around on your behind, or beg one of the boys to carry you around, which of course they always did.

1st day of Kindergarten....backpack, check......glasses, check......helmet, check....all we need now is the bus.

You were such a Daddy's little girl growing up, you loved it when he came home from work. He would always pick you up ...and say "How's my big girl?"

You love to swing, You could swing on your own , but you love it when someone would push you.

Second Grade.....Go Erin!

Pictures with the "brothers"

One of your favorite things to do is look at scrapbooks! you could look at them all day long and night too if we would let you. In fact you have taken them to bed with you. Most kids had teddy bears or dolls they slept with.....not you, you had to have a scrapbook.

1st day of 6th grade

You did a great job when we traveled to Honduras to pick up Brandon from his mission. We worried a little bit because we had never traveled that far or been on a plane for a long time. But you loved it, and the best part was seeing Brandon. You missed him.

Erin and her best bud Nathan, she loves Nathan cause he will wrestle and tease her, until she tattles on him. But then she begs him to do it some more.

You love hanging out with friends, and you have had some awesome friends. They are so good to you and willing to help you. I'm so glad you have had great friends to help you. Here you are in 9th grade with some of your friends.

You love to give hugs. And one of your favorite people to hug is your brothers. Here is you and Jason, hamming it up on the couch!

One of the highlights of your Junior year in High School was going to the Junior Prom with your brothers. You had so much fun that night. It wore you out. You came home and just wanted to sleep in your dress!!

Your most favorite person in the WHOLE world is your nephew Mckai. You just light up whenever you see him. You are such a big helper when Mckai comes to hang out with us. And I know he loves you, cause he learned to say your name before he learned grandma & grandpa!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN.....YOUR THE BEST !!!!! Love Mom and Dad
