WOW!!!! Time has flown by! It seems just like yesterday this little girl was born, and now 12 years later she has entered into Young Womens. If this new change makes me feel old, I can only imagine how my parents feel!
I have some great memories about Mariah on the day she was born. I was in the first grade, Mrs. Bair's Class! I went to lunch that day, March 27, 1998. While sitting up against the wall of my lunch table, visiting with my friends, a tragic event happened. I was drinking my chocolate milk, and spilt it ALL over my pants. I was wearing my favorite outfit, my purple stretch pants and matching top. ha, that's when tight, legging pants were the style. It totally looked like I peed my pants. Needless to say, I haven't drank chocolate milk at school ever since. I went outside after, to play with my friends at recess. I looked over by the chain link fence and saw my Dad and Camille holding hands. They came to get me out of school because my baby sister, Mariah, was born!!!! I was so EXCITED!!!!!! Screaming with joy! :) My dad said lets go see your sister, I already checked you out of school. This was an answer to my prayers, and my milk spilling incident. We got to the hospital, and I was furious! Mother had promised me that I could pick out the bow for Mariah's hair. But when I got there, the rotten nurse had already picked it out. Of course, I'm sure she didn't know she wasn't supposed to. I love having another sister, and sitting in the rocking chair in my mothers room holding her! She was so cute, and still is! :)
Mariah has been begging to have a birthday party for as long as I could remember. So this year I decided to throw her a birthday party. I told her she could invite a few of her friends and we would play some birthday games. Instead, she invited 11 girls!!! WOW! What did I get myself into. It ended up being a really fun party and the girls were great! She invited some neighbor girls, friends from the ward, and friends from school. We played the M&M game, skittle game, balloon popping game, chain game, candy bar game!! As you can tell, the girls definitely had their share of sugar for the week. We had some good laughs and Mariah got some neat gifts from her friends. She was so happy and very excited at her party!!! I'm glad I had the opportunity to share this moment with her.
Sunday evening we had a birthday party with the family! Sheldon and I had a fireside at 6:00 so we blew out candles before the rest of our family got there, and then did it all over again. It was fun to get together with the family! We are so blessed to have Mariah in our family and the spirit she brings. She truly has a heart of gold and would do anything for ya. She is very talented, in music, the arts, looking out for others, and turning to those who need a friend. We Love you Mariah!! Happy Birthday!
