Happy birthday Lauren, again.

This picture was taken 2004, the last time we went to Disneyland. We will be back there next week. You love the water and to swim, but sand is not your favorite thing to touch. The waves kind of scared you a little.

Lauren played softball when we lived in Livermore. She could hardly hold up the bat, but loves to play all sports, but I think she found her sport: soccer. She looks forward to playing in the spring. I don't look forward to being in the rain.

This picture sums up our last trip to Disneyland. Lauren was in awe of seeing all the princesses, but this was by far the best reaction. They had such a great time on this trip. Now it's Jacobs turn to be amazed, but I don't think this can be beat.

Lauren I hope you have a great day.

You have so much in this world to look forward too, and a lot you are going to say goodbye to this year. Last year of elementary school, last year of primary. Last year of not babysitting. I almost have 2 kids to choose from for babysitting.

You are a great helper to me at home, and are almost very willing to do anything. Although I am starting to get a little attitude from you every once in a while.
