A Decade of Sweet Pea

July 7, 2001

It's a girl!

July 7, 2002 - one year old!

This was your sixth birthday and right before you cut your hair for locks of love.

Your Baptism - February 7, 2010

Happy 10th Birthday Sweet Pea!

Ten years ago today, you came into the world and blessed our lives more than we ever thought possible. You are a light in our lives. You have a servant's heart and you deeply care about others. You are the peace-keeper. You love the stage - dancing, singing and acting. You keep our family laughing with your jokes and impersonations. The world is your stage! I cannot believe that you are ten years old! You are a beautiful, young lady - inside and out. You love the Lord and I know He has wonderful plans for you. Bless you precious daughter!

We love you!

Mommy, Daddy and your brothers

Family, Friends, Food & Fun

Sweet friends!

The football star

Nothing like a retired NFL star with a Superbowl ring to keep the boys entertained

Thank you for being so gracious Cedric!

We all got our pyromania on - these were gone in five minutes

Little Hershey - is he not adorable?

I am glad to have my girl back from camp.

This was the smokey prelude to the after dark display that was amazing!

The aftermath!

Friends since they were all infants - now they are 13!

Sweet Pea made this cake!

Yesterday was an amazing day full of laughter with with friends and family, more delicious food than our tummies could hold and fireworks. What a day! We are spending the day recovering and relaxing. Hope you can do the same.

Mr. Pearl and I picked-up Sweet Pea and Sport from camp on Saturday and Fisherman arrived home from a fishing trip with his grandfather on Sunday. I have laundry to clean, a sick child to snuggle with (Sport brought a fever home from camp) and a birthday to prepare for (Sweet Pea turns 10 on Thursday!). It's hard to believe July is here and in full swing. Why is it that the time you want to pass by slowly never does and the time you wish would hurry by, crawls at a snail's pace? I'm like a child about summer. I never want it to end!

Happy Fourth of July!

I hope you get to spend the day with family and friends doing something you enjoy doing. We are off to a parade and then on to dinner and fireworks!
