Isabella Grace-3 years old!

Sweet Bella Grace,

Happy Birthday!! You are officially 3 years old!
{going on 15}

You light up our lives!! You are such a ray of sunshine to everyone you are around. I don't think you have met someone that you couldn't make smile or find something to talk about. You make friends everywhere you go!

You are such a talker! You wake up talking and you go to sleep talking. You talk to me, to your sister, brother, daddy...anyone who will listen. And when no one will, you talk to yourself.



You have a wild imagination. You love to pretend and make up stories. You are fiercely independent and strong willed. But you are obedient and eager to please. You are incredibly loving and loyal of your sister and brother. You take your role as big sister very seriously. Always willing and ready to help mommy when I ask.

You keep me on my toes and remind me when I'm forgetting something. You've also started to give input on my fashion choices, which I'm not so sure I'm crazy about....

You love to do whatever I do. You like to have your hair blow dried, toes painted, blush, lip gloss and deodorant. You insist on all of it...even when mommy is in a hurry or running late. Which is often. I blame you.

You wake up so happy every morning. You are so excited to see us as if it's been way too long! You scream "good morning!" with a huge smile, say "good morning kiss?" and pucker your lips.

You know what you want and you are not afraid to tell us what that is. And if you don't see it getting done, you'll do it yourself. I love that about you. You are going to achieve greatness with this quality.

You pretty much think your brother is the funniest person alive. You two are best friends. He teaches you a lot. You are his biggest cheerleader at everything he does. He does whatever you ask him to. Sometimes your a little bossy and I have to remind him to make you do some things on your own.

You LOVE your daddy. You like to cup his face in your hands and kiss his cheeks. You are a daddy's girl. You run to the front door when he gets home from work yelling "I missed you" and wrap your whole body around his leg. You have him wrapped around your little finger and you know it.

Your cousins are your best friends and you seem to think it's your job to take care of them and tell them what to do. This is the "mommy" in you. You were born with it....you love to take care of people.

There is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for you...especially when you wrap your arms around me and say "your the best mommy in the whole wide world."

I love you so much my sweet Bella girl. You are strong, independent, loving, outgoing, outspoken, smart, and SWEET. You are going to do GREAT things for the Lord. I am so honored to be your mom and I pray daily that I guide and raise you in the way you should go.

Always be yourself Bella, because God is going to use every one of those qualities.

I love every moment with you. You challenge me as a mom- you make me a better one. You have stretched me in ways I never knew I could be. You are a gift. You are my treasure.

You are my sweet Bella Girl.
