Alta is 3!

Yesterday, June 20, Alta turned three. I can't believe how fast the past three years have gone. She is incredibly smart. She can run super fast, talk super fast, throw the world's biggest tantrums, give the world's biggest hugs, ride her tricycle, swing on her own, and a million other things. The best thing about her is her loving heart, she is a true nurturer and love to mother things. She likes to help whenever she can, except when it comes to picking up her stuff. She loves her big brothers and her little sister and calls them her best friends. She also has a neighbor girl that she calls her best friend. She loves dresses and having her hair "like a princess". She loves bath time but hates having her hair washed.

Her party, was of course, Cinderella themed, she loves her "Cinderelly" and thinks that she is Cinderella. We celebrated on Tuesday since Sam had to work yesterday. She got a bunch of cute presents, including a Barbie purse and accessories, a baby doll (that looks like Lena) with a blanket crocheted by Granny Joann, a picnic basket with toy food, candy, Disney movies, bubbles, and a paint book. The sweetest thing she got was her cupcake necklace that Landon got for her with his own money. We got her sand toys because Sam is building her a sandbox. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things she got, so I apologize if I didn't list your gift.

We also went to the zoo last Friday for her birthday. We didn't get to do as much as usual due to construction at the zoo and me getting sore and needing to leave a little sooner than normal, but we still saw a lot and had a lot of fun.

Yesterday we spent the day at home, until Landon had to be taken to urgent care for a bee sting, which ended up with an EpiPen prescription, but that's another story.

I'm so proud of the little girl she is becoming, she is a great person to be around and sweet 99% of the time. Everything is "Pretty" and "Beautiful". She sees the best in everyone and everything, I hope she stays that way.

(Please excuse the sores on her nose, she had impetigo, which has since cleared up. But it never fails, someone always has something going on during a birthday or holiday.)
