Ladybug is FIVE

I'm a couple of days late on this post, but Sierra Elise turned 5 this week! We are so proud of the young lady that she is becoming. Her heart is so sensitive. She is very obedient and loving. And although she is shy by nature, she has ventured out to try new things this last year. (She even enjoyed going to VBS all by herself this week!) We are excited and scared about the months ahead when she will start going to school and become even more independent.

The girls had a birthday party last week, but on her actual birthDAY we took the family to our local water park for the day. The weather was perfect and Valerie cooperated beautifully by napping almost the entire time that we were there! Sierra mustered up the courage to try some new slides and discovered that she LOVED them. The lazy river is still probably her favorite thing, but she did ride Mammoth Caves with me and came our smiling...sorta. It was a very fun day for her.

This one was from the photo shoot with Uncle Chuck last month.
