Eight...

This may not be the post some of you were hoping for but I couldn't NOT share my beauties special day (plus I am still waiting on a few pictures from the show).  Today my baby girl turned 8 today.  Yes EIGHT... where has the time gone?  Honestly!  Here are just a few of my favorite pictures of her... 

 Scaring her brother... this is totally HER ;)

 Getting ready for one of many dance recitals.  She loves the stage too!

Her school play, she was the Queen... if the shoe fits!

The girl grew up on the beach, loved it from day one!

I get this face.... a lot.... still cute though

another dance recital

With one of her best friends from Cali

Isn't she cute?  

Today she turns 8, we opted for cupcakes.  Easier.

She wanted her ears pierced.  Guess what?  We ALL survived.  All she did was say "ow!"

These next two pictures totally show her craziness... she is such a goofy kid

Look mom, my ears are pierced....

Have to admit... makes her look even older.  She is beautiful!

Pajha is quite possibly one of the best kids I know.  She can make me a little nutty but she is full, and I mean full to the brim of ENERGY, she is always smiling, always laughing, always talking and always fun.  She is very outgoing and loves to please people.  She is funny and witty and constantly surprises us with her quirky comments.  Plus she likes to clean toilets.  I think I will keep her.  She is however the EXTREME of whatever emotion she is feeling. Mad?  Extremely.  Happy?  Extremely.  Sad?  Oh boy.  You never have to wonder what she is thinking.  She tells you.  I love this little girl with all my heart.  Now stop growing up will ya?  Love you my baby girl!
