Mike pulled up some old photos of Deidra for me to add to this post.
Look how cute she is, she was born with brown curly hair, But most of it came out when she was between five and six. Oh how I miss those curls.
She loved getting her picture taken and loved to be able to take pictures even more (it's so fun that she still loves that).
She has always loved carving pumpkins, even back then she was a good little helper.
She is so fun, always has a smile on her face.
I love this picture. That hat would light up and she thought it was great. And those cute pants she has on, Mike had brought them back for her from Amsterdam, she wanted to wear them all the time and she looked darn cute in them. (I even still have them, they are all tucked away in a box as one of her favorite things from her childhood).
Seriously Deidra is one awesome girl. She truly is the best daughter anyone could ask for. She is always very helpful. She loves cooking. She is very diligent about reading her scriptures. She loves school (and is doing very well I might add). She is an awesome babysitter, she's first choice for many of our neighbors. She loves her brother and sisters unconditionally. She has a good sence of style. She can be so silly but serious when she needs to be. 
It's so weird to think that in three years she will be driving and dating. In eight years she could be going on a mission likes she has been talking about, she could be getting married in ten years and having kids anytime after that.
We are so proud of her and the wonderful young lady she has been become. We are so excited to see all the things the future hold's for Deidra.
We will never stop worrying about her and wanting to protect her, but as parents you know you have to let them grow and do things on her own. She has wonderful friends and they are all such good examples to each other. I'm glad she makes it so easy to let her grow.
Thank you Deidra for being our first born, and for being the wonderful daughter that you are.
Happy Birthday. We love you so much.
