Miss Carly turns 7!!

These pictures are completely out of order and there are a ton but after 7 years with this girl how could I narrow it down?  I seriously can't believe Carly is seven! I look at her baby pictures and it seems like a lifetime ago.  Makes me a little sad but also very happy at the little person she is growing up to be. 

*She is super sweet and honestly cares about people and how they feel.

*She is very independent and always has been. It's a quality I'm trying not to get aggravated with.

*She is super smart and the top reader in her class.  

*She loves school and everything about it!

*She never wants to miss out on anything.

*She will always try to get in on a conversation and needs to know every single detail about what is being said.

*She loves to do crafty things or anything dealing with making a mess.

*She is a tough little girl but every now and then you can see how much of a tender heart she has.

*She loves loves loves animals, bugs, and reptiles. She was meant to be a farm girl.

*She loves to stay up late at night in her bed coloring or reading.

*She loves to sing and has a really great voice. She gets nervous at the idea of singing in front of large groups though. (that was never the case when she was younger)

*She is getting really good at riding the dirt bike. I'm still not too thrilled about it but I married Chad so I guess I knew what I was getting into.

*She loves a plan or a schedule. She thrives on it actually.

*She is always writing cute little notes to me or Chad or her teacher. Some of them are pretty hilarious!

*She's still not too fond of pulling a loose tooth but it's getting better.

*She is a good big sister. She is still a little rough at times but I know she loves Annie so much! Sam on the other hand, those two are like oil and water. :)

I just can't imagine life without her. She brings a lot of craziness and loud into our family but I am so glad she is mine. She changed my life forever when she came into this world.
