On December 14, 2006 you entered the world with a great bang! We will never forget that day. Grandma was so proud to be there through the entire birth. As you can see Papa was pretty proud to be a Grandpa. You had to choose the stormiest day though, you were born and with in 15 minutes all the lights in Olympia went out. Papa came home only to discover that the wind storm had topped a tree causing it to crash into our garage and right on into our laundry room. I don’t think any of us could ever forget the day you were born, even if we tried. You will always be known as our little power house storm.
We of course have enjoyed every year with you. Your first year you learned so many things including how to be a dog. You didn’t care for your toys, but you sure loved Brandi’s toys, she even taught you how to carry the toys in your mouth (yours of course not hers).
At the age of 2, you kept us in stitches with all the funny things you did, as you finally were mastering walking, discovering that sitting in boxes did not work out real well, and at times even lost track of your favorite little hoppy. You were a little ham and loved the camera as much back then as you do now.
Through your third year your imagination has at times proved to be the most adorable attribute about you. The endless stories and the most lovely pieces of art. Your expressions, and curiosity has led to some brilliant learning adventures as well as some very funny stories that will live on forever.
We are sure we will have so many more laughs with you through the next year. All your little giggles, mishaps, funny stories make our lives filled to the brim with love.
Happy Birthday Selena!
Love, Mama and Papa!
Selena has informed us however that she is not going to turn 4, she is going to stay 3. Oh how I wish it worked that way!
