For Lil' Red

Ramey,



 Ramalicious, Ramesicle, Boo, Momma, Lil’ Red and any other nickname we might have bestowed upon you over the last 12 years...

           

You have always been a silly.....












quirky.....










beautiful girl  



who is never afraid to laugh at herself.



 I have had a front row seat for all of your successes...









as well as your disappointments... 









 I have watched how your idea of a "Princess" has changed throughout the years...








and am always in awe of your fearlessness.










Whether it's holding your own against the boys...




 playing Captain Hook in the school play...


or rockin' the flute...





Your desire to be unique and true to yourself always amazes me.







You are someone who cares about being a good friend...






even when that friend is an animal...









If it weren't for you, Daddy would have no one to watch the Lakers with...



 or take to Father Daughter dances...



I'd have no one to do my hair and makeup....



 or to paint redheaded self portraits for me to cherish forever...




The sun rises and sets with you Ramey....





Happy 12th Birthday!!!

 Love, 

 Mom, Dad & Jake

OMG....as I wipe the tears.....What is super wonderful about this is I KNOW every single picture! I literally can say that I have had the joy of seeing her grow since she was born. Thanks for sharing that, and the cameo of Kieren! Love that pic!

Awww Stacie! It was really cool for me to go through all of the photos and see just how much they have grown together. :)
