HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMMIE!!!

Today my little girl is 6 yrs old



Kimberly Nicole Barnes was born at about 1:30pm
on January 21, 2005
at Jordan Valley Hospital in West Jordan UT
She was 7 lbs 7 oz and 19 inches long
She had a head full of dark brown hair.



I always wanted a girl with dark brown hair.
It was love at first sight.
The baby girl Ches dreamed about was finally here.

Ches was able to deliver Kimmie, it was the neatest experience.

Granny made her this beautiful dress.

During her first year her hair gradually went lighter,
so by the time she turned one she was blonde

When Daddy would come home from work he would call

"Diiiigggggggglllllleeeeeessssss" (Diggles)

And Kimmie would squeal and come running to meet him!
She is such a Daddy's Girl

Kimmie has always loved makeup

She would get so excited when I put lip gloss or a little blush on her cheeks.

Sometimes she didn't even wait for me to help her.

Kimmie loves to have her picture taken.

She was eating some sour candy and when I laughed at her

funny face she wanted her picture taken

Spiritual
Compassionate
and
an Imperative part of our Family
