Happy 4th Birthday Baby Girl!!!


Our Sweet Andalyn Belle,
I can't believe another year has gone by! You are getting to be such a big girl. You are surprising us everyday with how smart you are. You have started preschool this year and are loving it! Your teachers Miss Angela and Miss Heather love you so much! They tell me how good you are and how well you listen to them all of the time! They also tell me what a great example you are to all of your friends in class. When Mommy and Daddy hear things like that we are so proud of you! We already know these things about you, however to hear that you are such a joy to be around when Mommy and Daddy are not around makes us so happy!
You have also been in Primary now for almost a year. You are loving learning about Jesus and being kind to others! You are starting to really understand basic principals of the gospel and enjoy talking about them. Your little testimony is budding and it is beautiful to watch. You are so close to the spirit and love to pray to your Heavenly Father. You also love to have Family Home Evening every Monday night! You and Ryan loved to stand in front of the TV and lead us in songs. You never let us forget to get you a "leading stick" so that you can direct the music properly.
You will never know the pure joy you bring into our lives. You made us a family, joining Mommy and Daddy 4 years ago. You brought us together closer than we could ever imagine we could be. You are such a great big sister to Ryan. He is learning so much from you. You guys play pretend all of the time. It is so precious to watch. I can see it in Ryan's eyes when he looks at you, that he really leans on you to lead and guide him. Knowing what a good girl you are I know that both of you will continue to learn and grow and experience wonderful things together.
You have so many friends and family that love you so much. Our lives will forever be touched because you are in them!
Stay close to your Heavenly Father and Savior Andalyn Belle, you will always be lead and guided on righteous paths as you do so.
We love you more than words could express!! You will always be our baby girl!!
Love,
Mommy & Daddy
