Happy Birthday Desirae

Happy Birthday to my oldest, I can't believe you are 32 years old, it can't be I remember this day (in the picture) and it seems like yesterday.
Back before the days of ultra sounds and not knowing what we were going to have before you were born. Some how I knew that you were a girl maybe because of the dream that I had that I was having a girl. In my dream I delivered this beautiful little girl. When that day really came that you were born I looked at you (when they had cleaned you all up) and you were that little girl in the dream that I had it was so amazing to me. You were the first grand-daughter on my side of the family and the first of the first on the Fowlks side (Ron coming from a family of all boys) so yes you were just a little spoiled or no wait, you were just loved a whole bunches. I know that you always called yourself the trial child as you grew up, and thank you for training us as parents. When you were little you didn't seem to like men very much you would cry every time one of the grandpa's would want to hold you. When we moved to Kearns you were really afraid of our neighbor (McBrides). Not so much of the neighbor across the street though who could be afraid of Uncle Kirk. But you grew to love all of the neighbors as time went on and even the grandpa's. You were very obedient as you began to crawl (6 mo) walk ( 9 mo) and get into things I would just have to say NO and you would stop. I remember the two sets of stitches that you had, one on your hand when you fell at grandma Fowlks' and the other when you hit the tray of the chalk board right on the side of your head not fun having to papoose you down at the hospital. You always loved music you would carry your little tape recorder around that you got for Christmas when you were about 3 or 4 and would know the words to every song in a very short amount of time. You would set your dolls and stuffed animal on the couch and preform for them. Until Brittany was big enough then you would make her sit there and watch you. :) Well there is a little walk down memory lane and I hope that you have a very Happy Birthday! We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mom. I was the trial child and now I have one of my own and he let's me know that frequently too. So whatever curse you put on me is working! :) Love you lots!
