Happy 8th birthday, Susanna!

 Dear Susanna,

I just love you so much!  I love your energy and joy of life and how fiercely you love everyone and everything you do.  You wear me out sometimes because I just cannot keep up with your energy but I love that God made you that way.  You are such a smart and determined and creative little girl and I love watching all the ideas that come into your head and how determined you are to do them.  You constantly surprise me by doing things that I never expected you to do be able to do!  Thank you for always being willing to entertain Sophia for me so that I can get things done.  I love how you love your baby sister so much and want to help her so much.  Thank you for always enjoying my cooking even when none of your sisters want to try my dinner.  It really means a lot to me to know that at least one of you will like dinner and makes all my work worthwhile.  Thank you for working so hard on your schoolwork this year even though I know it is not your favorite.  I love seeing how excited you get when things finally make sense and I enjoyed teaching you how to do multiplication.  I hope you always come to me for help when you don't understand something because I absolutely love to help you learn.  I am so excited to watch you learn and grow as a big 8 year old!

Love,

Mama

A Fun Birthday Party

Image
  Saturday, May 1, 2021 From the desk of Karlie DeLong Our friend Emma Gay turned 13 this year, and she invited Karis and I to her party. We were going to go bowling and then go back to her house, but there was a tournament going on, so we just went back for a playdate. The other guests were Zoe Meador, Aubrey Ferguson, and Lilli Farnsworth. We played some games and then got dressed up for a really fancy dinner. Emma's parents dressed up as our waiter and waitress. We pretended that we were in the 1700's. It was so fun!

Random Ice Day

 We had a random winter storm and the girls were able to be out of school!  We forgot to take many pictures, but Karis used the time to re-organize her bookshelves.  Lolli decided that her legs made a nice pillow for a nap!  Abbi and Susanna were the only ones brave enough to try to go sledding on the ice but they had a lot of fun!

9 Poems

  May 29, 2021 Abigail DeLong I wrote nine poems about our pets. Here they are: Poem #1 Lolli and Cupcake were not friends when Lolli had her kittens. I was so happy, I sang a song while I jumped on the trampoline with Karlie and Susanna Delong. Lolli had her kittens, four, But suddenly, she had one more! Lolli has five kittens; they are so cute! They make me want to jump around the house and play a little flute. I am so proud of Lolli. She reminds me of Karis and Karlie! THE END Poem #2 One of the kitten's names is Taffy. Sometimes, she is very snappy. She was the third kitten born, but she cannot blow on a horn. She is a calico kitten, but she hasn't any mittens. Lolli is very proud, because sometimes, Taffy is loud. I love Taffy very much  because she is so fun to clutch! THE END Poem #3 One of the kitten's names is Truffles. He is sweet and loves to snuffle. He was the second kitten born,  but he is secretly a unicorn! With him, I like to cuddle, for he hasn...
