Mara's FIVE

My baby girl turned 5 on August 20th. I can't believe that she is already five.

here are a few pictures of her the night before her birthday, we went camping that weekend so we decided to let her open her presents early. she was very excited for her gifts:)
she got clothes too but she was the most excited about the play/fun stuff

a real guitar:) we even had to bring it with us camping. she loves it, and so does her dad:)
BARBIES:) I was so excited whe I found this, I always wanted a barbie bathroom when I was little
a preschool teacher barbie, mostly it was just for the playground equipement
she was in thrilled with a football because she can play football with Jonah and it is PINK!!!!!
and ice skates!!! she says that she is going to be an ice skater when she gets older, she says that she is going to be in princess's on PRINCESS' ON ICE

on her birthday Mara and I went to her school to meet her teachers and have her Kindergarten testing done. ( she did great)

How it came to be!!!!!

Jonah and I met in 1997 junior year math class at Jordan High School :) We dated senior year, then after we graduated we were "friends" for the next two years. In 2000, we started our courtship again, July 14, 2001 we were married. For the first two years of marriage we shared our little home with our sweet little ones: Kya, a beautiful pitbull Cuda, a terrier mix Lucky, a black kitty Pricila, a long hair kitty January 7 2004, we were surprised to find out that we were expecting our first baby. On August 20, 2004 we were graced with a beautiful baby girl. Samara Beth 8 pounds 4 ounces 19 inches long red/auburn hair On October 6, 2006 we had to say goodbye to the most amazing person in the entire world. My sweet momma!! We miss her everyday.
