Happy Birthday Syrah

Happy 9th Birthday to our sweet "Baby Girl"

Syrah has such a sweet heart; she cares for family and her friends and wants everyone to know the Lord. She is outgoing and always has something to share. Syrah loves reading, animals, swimming, family games, going on adventures, playing with her friends, soccer, school and being creative.

Syrah has grown a ton in this last year, both physically and maturity. She is becoming quite the young lady (will always be baby girl to me).

Age 6

Age 3

For our beautiful little girl: A special birthday wish along with a big ‘I love you’ we give a hug and kiss. We pray that you will know God more and more each day and follow Him all your life and learn to love His ways.

What we did this weekend...

Syrah played in her first ever soccer tournament this weekend (5 games in 2 days). They came in second place out of six + teams (we know there were at least six teams, but not positive on how many). This is an amazing shot of Syrah taking a penalty kick (and scored)! Her team did an amazing job and I saw one of the most intense games ever yesterday!
