Liz at age 3Elizabeth turned 9 while we were on our trip to Utah and Idaho. I can't believe she can possibly be that old!
10 Things I Love About My Lizzie
1. Liz is my biggest helper. She is always helping me around the house-picking things up, tidying up her room, and cleaning the bathrooms!
2. She is quick to obey. Generally, you need to ask only once to do something. I need to be more like she is.
3. She's a good friend and an amazing missionary. Look at the previous post for an example!
4. She loves to go shopping with me. My boys and husband are all allergic to the stores! It's nice to have a daughter who likes to run errands with me!
5. She loves Panda Express. I really appreciate that she loves to go somewhere other than McDonalds! :-) She's my child who is brave when it comes to trying new things.
6. Lizzie is an amazing big sister. Emma adores her and always wants to be right by her playing. Lizzie is quick to incorporate Emma into her play. Emma always has someone to play with if Elizabeth is home.
Lizzie shows Emma the San Diego Temple.7. She loves to read! I never have to ask her to read. Though once in a while, I have to ask her to put down a book. She is self motivated when it comes to school. I never have to ask her to do her homework. She just does it and never complains!
8. Lizzie always goes the extra mile. This summer when we made the check list, she kept asking if she could add jobs to her list that she wanted to do. Can't say no to a kid who wants to take out the trash!
9. She loves the Savior! She actively tries to follow him. She loves the gospel.
10. She brings so much joy and happiness to our family. I can't imagine life without Lizzie. She brings me so many smiles each day!
