Crazy Beautiful

5 years ago today Tyson and I became a family, yes we were technically a family the day we got married but when you have your first child something changes between you, everything changed and got crazy beautiful as they say. I can remember the day Harlie was born like it was yesterday, I was so scared, and so excited. When I looked into Tyson’s eyes as he looked at her for the first time, I learned what love at first sight truly meant. Tyson went from a daring hurried driver to a cautious one the day we left the hospital; that day we realized that the world around us had changed somehow. Watching your firstborn is a strange feeling, you feel like your heart is outside of your chest and walking around just ready to be broken. You are so scared of everything, germs, people…yourself. Having Harlie in our lives is such a blessing and I don’t know what I would ever do without her sweet soul in my life. She is the most spiritual amazing kid I know. She has been the one to walk before she crawled, She talked early, and sometimes I love to just sit and ask her questions because I love hearing her take on the world around her, she is very perceptive, and she is a sponge for information…thrives on it.

A few things about my big five year old…Harlie is VERY girly; she loves glitter, makeup, shiny things, shoes, dresses, dolls and anything pink. Harlie also likes bike rides, playing in the water, cooking, coloring, and drawing, Animals, And her Grandmas.
Harlie’s heart is solid gold, she is the most sympathetic person I know, and if she see’s that someone is sad she is asking them what’s wrong and wanting to do something nice to cheer them up. She loves learning, she loves to hear about new things, and I have no doubt she will be amazing in school. Harlie love’s going to primary and has learned so much about Jesus and Heavenly father, which in turn has taught her more about her self.
She is the one who never lets us slide on prayers, and most of the time is more than willing to talk with her heavenly father.

Harlie has had a lot to deal with this year and she stays so positive, she just accepts the way things are and moves forward. I hope she takes that into her future, because it will help her out so much.

I love this amazing big girl more than I can ever express, She teaches me so much everyday, and I am so glad I get to be her mommy.
Happy Birthday Harlie!!!
