Happy Birthday Taylor!

What I wouldn't give to have a few more days with this kid!

But as it turns out she has turned into this kid. A beautiful young lady of 14!
Some things about Taylor at 14 and highlights of 13 (for historical reference):

1. We bought her first pair of high heels.

2. She went to her first stake dance last night and won the "Who can dance with the most boys contest" and we will now be the happy recipients of baked goods.

3. She was the Beehive class president.

4. She hit the game winning home run in extra innings and made her dad scream out loud and her mother cry.

5. She has been somewhat brave with the new move, and a lot pouty.

6. She has excellent grades.

7. She loves learning and has a high expectation for it.

8. She is now playing hymns on the piano, but I am not sure how big of an accomplishment that is, as I have no point of reference.

9. She just finished an excellent season of Junior Jazz which included some three point shots and a left handed lay up - her first.

10. She still loves to play.

11. She hates change.

12. She is a great, big sister - not a great big sister.

13. She recently made her history teacher weep when he read her paper on the Bill of Rights.

14. She thought she would be in trouble for the above.

Taylor, we love you so much and can't wait to see the woman you become. You are an amazing kid and we love having you in our family!
