Happy Birthday Raegan

Today is Raegan's Birthday. I cannot believe that she is already 11 years old. She was my biggest baby weighing 7 lbs 14 oz and was one week over due and had to be induced. I think she must have know what kind of responsibilities she was going to have being the oldest of 6.
She is truly a joy in our life.

Torie and Raegan

She does like to root for our Cougars!

Raegan had breakfast in bed this morning.
She had crepes and Chocolate Dipped Strawberries.
(Her Request)

Here are 11 reason's why I love Raegan so much...

1. Raegan is very talented. She loves to sing and is a great clogger.
2. Raegan has a very sensitive spirit. She can never leave AZ without crying all of the way to Flagstaff. She misses her grandma, cousins and her aunts and loves spending time with them.
3. She loves to shop. In fact this year she wanted to forgo any gifts or party. She wants the money instead to go shopping and out to lunch. So shopping we are going this afternoon!
4. She is such a help. She is always helping out with her younger siblings. And they adore her. She is a huge help to me on Sundays.
5. She is extremely reliable. We can leave her in charge and know that things will be in order when we come back.
6. She is determined and passionate. She does not back down. If she has something in her mind, it is nearly impossible to sway her another way. She has big ideas and likes to follow through with them.
7. She is a great student. She tries really hard to please her teacher and will work extra hard to make the honor roll. (there is that determination)
8. She is creative. She is very good at making up plays, posters or activities for her and her friends or her siblings. Especially on Sunday mornings when she helps with all of the kids by playing school, train or sunday school.
9. She is a dreamer (she gets this from her mom).
10. She loves to read.
11. Raegan is loving. She loves her family and loves to spend time with us!

Happy Birthday Raeggie Roo! We love you!
