a sister named shag.

ok so shag isnt technically her name, but it should be. taigen just doesnt do it for me :).

anyways it was this lovely ladies 17th birthday today. HOLY SMOKES... 17!!! what the? i was 17 when i graduated. tooooooo crazy.

shag? is that what you are wondering? well it goes a little something like this:

taigen=taggen=shaggin wagon=shag. simple!

shag is one of the most beautiful girls in the world. everything about her is radiant.

her eyes, her pearly whites, her blonde hair, and her tiny little figure. - i want to look just like her.

when we were little she didnt really like me... i dont blame her. i was kind of a monster to her. jealous that she got all of the attention ya know being the youngest... and the cutest. (jace was pretty cute too)
ahhhh look at that picture. i just want to gobble her up.

she has turned into such a lovely person. i am so grateful that i am her sister.
when taigen was young she had a friend named kylee... they both had red(ish) hair. they would fight, and then call each other and say "i'll meet you at the sawtooth sign"... haha it was a sign on the corner of our street right in front of our house.

she would sit on this little play kitchen thing a look out the window and talk to her imaginary friends. i make fun of her for it, but i really do think its sooo cute.

she always saved wedding announcements and documents of all kinds... she could play with them for hours pretending like she was a wedding planner or some other type of professional.

she is good at everything she does. one minute she can be a cheerleader then decide to be a volleyball player then get asked to plleeeeaaase be a cheerleader again. she is also in student government and on the seminary council (committee whatever it is...)

she has a REALLY adorable little boyfriend named grady. he isnt really little but he is adorable. and he treats her sooo well. im glad she has him.

she and i can have fun doing just about anything together. we can also drive each other just about crazy. im really good at getting on her nerves... no way?!?!

she is beautiful and strong and has sooo much faith. i am so grateful that i can call her my sister and see how she progresses and makes good decisions.

i know she will be successful in anything that she does (like hair... come on please!!) and i know that she will make a wonderful wife and mom some day.

thats another thing... she is AMAZING with kids. AMAZING. they all LOVE her... especially stella and it kinda makes me mad!! :)

i love you SHAGGO! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
