Birthday Girl

October is birthday month for Ryleigh. She turned ten on the 14th.
Ryleigh is a funny girl (as in has a sense of humor) who loves to smile and make others smile.
She likes to say that she is sort of a "tomboy" but we know that she is "Princess" through and through. She loves "girly" things like make-up, dancing, singing, nail polish, rolling her eyes and the Jonas Brothers. She has always tried to be her bothers keeper, and sometimes they rebel, but she loves her brothers and looks up to them. Ryleigh has a wonderful talent of making friends and reaching out to those in need. She is always sensitive to others feels and often befriends the ones that are being left out by others. We love having Ryleigh in our family she keeps us laughing.
Ryleigh has a deep love of for the Savior and tries to always choose the right.
She has been asking to get her ears pierced for a while, but we said we needed to wait until she was more responsible and could take care of them herself.
So this year was finally the year! She picked earrings with her birthstone, and has been very good at remembering to keep them clean 3 times a day.
She was very nervous and excited I had to ask her to smile for the before picture. She said that it hurt, but not too bad.
I cant believe that Ryleigh is already 10 sometimes I still think of her as my baby girl, but she is growing up quickly. We are so proud of the good work she does in school and the wonderful human being she is!
