7 years ago today

Seven years ago today Alizabeth Rose Arevalo was born. I can't imagine our family without her. She is funny and LOVES life. She likes to draw, dance, play ponies, push the tire swing, she is kind to people and she is a good friend. Those are some of the things her classmates said about her when I went to her room to celebrate her today. She is all of that and more to her family too! The day started with her opening a special gift from me to her. Her favorite animal is a frog and she LOVES to store and carry "treasures" in little boxes and bags so I made her this frog box.

Today was also the schools fun run. Our whole school runs the mile. Last year I was able to run it with Andrea but as a PTA board member, I helped sponsor the run so this year my friend Gary came and ran it with the kids. Here are Gary and Andrea before they ran. Andrea ROCKED it and ran her mile in 11 minutes! It is really fun to watch the kids work hard and finish the run.

Bizzy did GREAT. A mile is a long run for a 7 year old but she did it in a little over 10 minutes. I was so proud of both of my little girls.

After the day at school was over, Bizzy had some friends over to help her celebrate her special day. We went to the park, had and ice cream cake and opened presents.




I am so glad that my little firecracker Bizzy was sent to me and I look forward to all the amazing things that she is going to do in her life!

The fun run is a cute idea. I thought of doing that for a primary activity???! Thoughts? Although we may lose a few along the way.
