That’s right. Today is little Miss Takle’s 4th birthday. It seems just like yesterday she was tearing up the runway with this look:
And, if you look really close….closer….closer. Right there. You got it. You’ll see a little pink pacifier on the counter, or “boppy” as we called it. Kind of makes me tear up. Who am I kidding? A year of the two’s re-do? I’m just fine, thank you.
Then, there is my favorite one.
I mean, puh-leese. Does it get any cuter?
Although she doesn’t know it, Anna takes a lot of heat on mommy’s blog. From her crimes of fashion to the disclosure of family tales, her life is on display for all thousand ten of my readers.
So, on Banana Boat’s birthday, I thought it appropriate to share four reasons why I love this pumpkin pie so much.
1. She is stubborn persistent.
2. She is ONE.SMART.COOKIE. Sight words at 3? Easy fa sheezy.
3. FUN-NEE. She makes me laugh until I cry. Or almost pee in my pants. Wait a minute, is that just because I’m getting old?
And, number 4.
She turns my face to hers with her sweet little hands and tells me she loves me.
Happy Birthday Anna Marie Takle. You make life oh so fun.

I can’t believe our little cross between Mary Kate Olsen, Angelia Jolie and Tina Turner is 4! Seems like only yesterday she was sucking on the boppy and running into walls head first while asking for Dora for the 100th time. Hope you guys have a great birthday!
When we stopped by last night I tried to steal a cupcake and she informed me that they were for her friends at school….ha.
Did Anna get a rat dog? ha!
I was wondering about that Rat Dog too?? post a pic
I love that girl! She is one of a kind and oh so funny! I hope she is having a great birthday. And please send Kris my love and birthday wishes too! I think he is great!
Falon, she still runs into things!
