My baby is turning 8

I wish I could post a picture but I'm using my friend's computer and don't know how. Oh well, just wanted to post to let my girl know just how much her mom loves her. Not a day goes by that I don't thank my Heavenly Father for sending that beautiful kid into my life. Being my first, she truly holds a special place in my heart. (Next to her dad) she gave my life meaning and she makes me want to be a better person. I feel that weight even more now that she will be getting baptized next Sat. How can a mom, who is human, set an appripriate and consistent example for her child? It is truly a calling a take seriously and one that lies heavy on my heart.
So Parker know that I will try my best. And know that I will fall short and for that I apologize already. I hope you will remember that even though there will be times that I may not be the best mom I should be, my love for you is constant. Your are and will be a joy to my heart as long as it continues to beat and then into eternity.

Happy 8th Birthday Parker!!! Wow I remember a picture of you and Hayden at the beach sitting on a log and you both were soooo little! I'm so proud of you and your choice to want to get baptized. I wish I could be there with you and your family. I'm sending lots of hugs to everyone! Love Aunt Jody

Dear Parker-8 years of joy and sweetness, that's you! Love, kisses and I hope to see a picture of you in your purple dress and wild tights. I'm so happy to be your Grammy.
