Julia is 7!

Friday Julia turned 7. We went shopping, tried on perfume, looked at the puppies at the pet store and then went out to dinner with Daddy for her birthday date while Grandma and Grandpa watched all of the other kids. I did her hair and put a little make-up on her for something special, which is just what she loves. She called it her "extreme makeover".

This picture below is my all time favorite picture of Julia.

Julia was our biggest baby, weighing in at 7 lbs. 1 oz. and she was born with a dent in her chest, causing her to sound like a pigeon when she slept :). She was also our most content baby. I think she is probably the most like I was as a little girl - in looks and in behaviour. She is a little lazy and may seem like an airhead, but surprises us with her scholastic ability. The other day she told us the first 11 verses in Matthew chapter 4, word for word, where Satan tempts Jesus. She had just memorized it on her own from listening to the Bible on cd at bedtime - we couldn't believe it. She enjoys attention - performing, dancing and singing. She loves girly things like makeovers, yet enjoys playing with the boys and playing sports. She is definitely our friendliest child, talking to everyone. We love our Jules!

Rebecca - the other birthday girlSaturday we celebrated Janae, Julia and Rebecca's (cousin) birthdays at Grandma and Grandpa's house with slip n slides, water guns and food. On our way to the party, we stopped at the feed store by our house because they had a petting zoo and free horse and pony rides. The kids loved it. Josiah even got to ride a horse for the first time with Janae. We should have just had our party there :). Unfortunately our camera battery was dead.
