14 Years Today!



H.E.I.D.I, h.e.i.d.i, h.E.i.D.i. and HEIDI was her name-o! today is my sister heidi's birthday. just like jalee, she was also born in california and is considered one of the californian girls in our family. heidi was the only girl in our family actually born with hair. not only did she have hair, but it was very curly too. everyone agrees that heidi was the cutest toddler out of any of us! she also had a different personality than any of the rest of us, and still does. if someone came to the door that she didn't know, or we tried to introduce her to someone new, she would scrunch up her nose, show her teeth, and even quietly growl - kind of. it was the funniest thing to us and we could never understand why she hated new people, but it sure did give us a good laugh plenty of times. today that stubbornness has evolved into something else that can sometimes be scary or just plain annoying, but it makes her very unique. know one else in our family quite knows why she gets so stubborn about some things, but i know that she can do great things with it if she puts her mind to it. heidi is very caring and loves to babysit for family and people in her ward. she will be a great mother someday and i know that like jalee, she will also be a great aunt to my kids. she is very smart and will watch the news or read an article and understand what is going on with politics, the earth, or whatever the subject is. she catches on WAY better than me. we jokingly contribute her smartness and great understanding to the fact that she was the only child that was nursed for a year and because of that she has a great advantage in life. i love her very much and don't know what i'd do without her! happy birthday to heidi on the 12th of january!
