Ellie is 8 years old. I'm having a hard time thinking of her as a big girl. She is becoming quite the young lady, and is always looking for ways to help out around the house. Every time I look at her I am blown away with how beautiful she is becoming. I guess sharing a birthday with Ellie will always keep me young. She has spent the last two weeks counting down to our birthday, and has been very excited to tell everyone how old WE are going to be. I have had to remind her several times that when you get old you don't want to be reminded of how old you are getting, but she is quick to tell me that you don't get old until your kids are your age. So, I guess I will be young forever. Here are eight reasons why I love Ellie so much, and am grateful she is my little Ella Bell. 
1* She is always happy, she loves to sing, dance, and make up silly songs just like her dad.
2* She is and incredible big sister to Jake, he idolizes her, and I love that she always chooses the right so that he is also able to choose the right.
3* She has the most beautiful big brown eyes and I love that she lets me look at them anytime I want and usually for as long as I want.
4* She lets me take oodles and oodles of pictures of her even though I am sure it gets annoying to her at times, she just keeps on smiling for the camera.
5* I love that she loves to read. She will sit down to a book and read the whole thing through and then quickly tell me how good the book was.
6* She tries hard to be a friend to all she meets, even when it may be hard at times.
7* She loves to learn about the Gospel, and already is starting to discover her own Testimony.
8* She is my daughter, and I love her so very much. I am honored to share a birthday with her, and am thankful to my Father in Heaven for allowing me to raise such a beautiful girl.
Happy Birthday Ellie, Daddy and I love you so much!
