I can't believe my little Alana Banana turned 7 today, I look back and try to find out where all the time has gone.
BABY NANNERS! I will never forget the day she was born, she entered the world at 2:05a.m. and I had a math test at 7:30 I checked out half way through because I was so tired I was sleeping in my classes and went back to the hospital. I loved her from the that day since she got me out of school! JK
She reminds me almost daily that I'm going to see my mom again, and it's okay to cry when I miss her. We've learned that my mom was the keystone in this family and nothing is as "big and special" as a mother/grandma makes it. She is so excited that next year she can finally get baptized!


She LOVES to dress up and do makeovers! Nobody can come over without getting a makeover. I go to her for fashion advice even, it's sad but this girl has style! Sometimes she will tell me what to wear and go upstairs and put on something similar so we match! I love it!

She is so fun to have around for the holidays.... I must say she is a pretty cute UTAH cheerleader too! Children have a way of lighting up the room when they walk in and Alana does just that. She says the funniest things and I often wonder where she comes up with it!
She'll go eat with me, ANYTIME! We have little lunch dates when she is off track and it's so much fun! She feels very grown up and I love spending time with her, she makes me so happy!
Her whole life she will like anything that Cee-Cee likes. When there is a game on she says "Who do we want to win?" I love teaching her about sports and how to play. It's so much fun to share all your passions with your best friend! I've taught her well. BOO THE BLUE
I got her the cutest outfit a couple years ago, GO UTES!!!! I love buying anything for her, everything is cuter when it's small!
She lets me be completely crazy with her, and just says " Oh cee-cee you're crazy, but that's why you're my favorite!" When we're both tired we just laugh at each other over the weirdest things, I love having sleepovers with her and listening to the stories she makes up!
She LOVES christmas traditions, seeing the lights, shopping, sleepovers by the christmas tree, and anything that involves the family. We all love you so much Princess!

She loves to come with my friends and I, she benefits from each of them, here is a little of what she gets: Katie gets her ice cream, Freddie does whatever she wants and he goes shopping with us, she thinks Jeremy is awesome because he can sing and play the guitar, Trenton is just cool because he is so tall and for everyone else "They are so nice!"
This was my 18th birthday breakfast at I.H.O.P.
I'm not a fan of the attitude that comes with the age but she can be such an angel! She has my back and doesn't let ANYBODY be mean to me.
I can't help but smile when I see this picture, she's to cute! I miss our old family traditions.

Aww Macee that is really sweet – Alana is very lucky to have such an amazing aunt!! I miss you guys so much!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL! I can't believe how big she is getting, I swear she was just 3 and we were shopping at Tai Pan. I love you both and I hope you two stay close forever. I miss being with both of you, I could watch the two of you every day and never get bored. I remember the first time I called you, you were babysitting and I thought it was a little strange but I have learned over the years that she is your first priority and I had to accept it. I wish I could be your BFFFF instead of just the BFEEE but I guess it will have to do. I think I watch my video recording of the "Freddie Brown" song at least once a day. It means so much for the effort she put into it. I will wait for your Halloween post to continue what I want to say, so you better be working on it! Oh and Alana, GO UTES, always listen to Cee-Cee she knows what teams are good!
