Taliah turned 11!!!

I CAN NOT believe Taliah is 11 years old! She made sure to point out to us that next year she will be in Young Women's going to girls camp. Umm she needs to slow down a little! For her birthday she got a basketball hoop. The kids were outside all week playing. Dribbling and shooting skills were getting pretty good by Benjamin, Taliah and Charlotte. Emma loved the swings she was on them everywhere we went with the biggest smile she could have. It just melted my heart to see that smile! We went to Olive Garden for her birthday lunch, so yummy. Grandpa and Grandma Jardine came to visit and enjoy the fun. Grandma had a movie night with all the kids. I went down to check on them and all the kids were sleeping and grandma was awake. I told her to go upstairs since they were passed out and she said she was finishing the movie they started. She is so great! An amazing grandma for sure! We had a birthday dinner that nigh Uncle Tuff and Aunt Sandy came and Amanda and her girls came to celebrate. We had fun all watching Taliah and catching up. Taliah also got a guitar stand. She just started learning and is already playing songs. She is so good. I told my mom she needed to put up the guitar and start playing with barbies again. Growing up so fast.
Charlotte and Taliah are completely adored by Benjamin and Emma. All they want to do is be like their aunties and play games and have movie nights. The kids slept down stairs with the girls all week long. They were so sad on our last day that it was their last movie night. :( Charlotte is amazing with Noah she would walk him around when he was crying and feed him and love on him. If he was crying she would say it breaks my heart to hear that I will hold him so he won't cry. The girls loved spoiling all the kids. Emma wanted to dress like Taliah all fancy. Taliah let her wear a Hello Kitty necklace and bracelet that matched Emma's sweater. Emma felt all grown up because she was just like her Aunt Taliah. I loved watching my parents with my kids. They have such special bonds with one another. All the love was so wonderful all week!
I kept saying all week how grateful I am for my parents and my sisters and that my kids have them as Grandparents and Aunts. It is SO true. We are all so blessed to have one another and to know we put family first and love each other and will be together forever!
