Rachel's Birthday!

I can't believe my little girl turned 8. Rachel has such a tender heart. Rachel is so talented and gifted. She loves to learn and try new things. Rachel is so smart and so willing to help others. I can't imagine my life without her and her sweet spirit. Rachel is an amazing blessing to me and to my family. Happy Birthday!




Rachel has been begging to ride a horse. For her birthday one of the guys Bill works with was able to arrange for us to come ride on her Birthday. She was SO excited. She now wants a horse.


Rachel didn't want to get off.


Ellie & Jared both got to ride too. Bill took them.
Then Jared got to ride a calf. The guy was trying to get his calves used to people so that he could take them to the fair. Jared thought this was awesome!
We headed back to the house for some cake and ice cream after we took her to Applebee's for lunch. This is a picture of all the neighbor kids.
This is Rachel's birthday part two. Just two days after her birthday we headed to California for her baptism. So, of course we had to celebrate her birthday again.HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Wish we could have spent more time with all of you. That cake was so cool! You'll have to share how you made it. I still want to see pics of the new hair cut! :)
