Marley is 4!!!

Marley turned 4 years old today! It's so crazy how she keeps getting older but I stay the same age! Bizarre! Anyway, we had a party on Saturday with a couple of other families from our ward. There are 3 Marley's in our ward, one boy and two girls, and the girl Marley's have become fast friends. We had "the other Marley" over and her brother and another little girl and her older brother. Since our backyard is in pretty bad shape, we got a kiddie pool with a little slide, a crazy sprinkler with 15 nozzles that wiggle as they spray, water balloon's and squirt guns and told the kids to bring their swimsuits and let them have at it! They had a blast! Luckily the day wasn't too hot! It was a pretty crazy day, a bunch of members from the ward showed up around 8:30 that morning to help us put down flooring and paint. Then we only had about an hour before the party. Before we knew it, it was 8pm and me and Ben realized we hadn't eaten at all that day! Anyway, Here are the top 10 reasons why we love our little princess!
10. independent, she always has to do everything herself.
9. imaginative, she loves to dress up in costumes and could play barbies for hours.
8. Smart (sometimes too much for her own good)
7. Beautiful, her smile lights up a room.
6. she's a great big sister
5. adaptable, we have drug that poor girl from one house to another, and across the country and she never complains.
4. she is so funny! I'll never forget her teasing me before she even had a 20 word vocabulary.
3. she is so brave, she once stood up to a much much older kid at the playground who was picking on all the little kids, and yelled "HEY! YOU CAN"T DO DAT!".
2.she is so loving, she tells me at least 50 times a day that she loves me, and she loves to cuddle and give hugs and kisses.
1. She's ours!
