We do some funny talkin' around this house lately.  We have kind of adopted Leo's way of saying Jane, with a 'w'.  He doesn't even say it anymore but it was so cute, it just stuck.  Anyway, our one and only darling daughter turned 9.  She was so focused on preparing for her baptism last year and ever since she was baptized has taken quite seriously the promises she made that day.  She is most often the peacemaker among all these boys and tries so hard to listen the first time and encourage her brothers to do the same.  She's been a trooper with some growing pains this year and is still very active.  In fact she would like to wear sport clothes every day if her mother let her because real clothes inhibit her movement:)  She is loving 4th grade, but we really don't like how close she's getting to the end of elementary school. Want her to stay little forever!!  

She chose an oreo cake this year and enjoyed sharing it with Muna, Papa, and Uncle David.  Our birthday activity was watching her 3 new drinking birds drink-it's amazing and somewhat embarrassing how entertaining such a simple thing can be! She also chose a couple friends to take bowling and out for ice cream the week after her birthday.  Love our girl!!
