YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE!

Girlfriend!  You are THE BEST!!
With Baylor off to Kindergarten you and I have the mornings to run around and get some shopping done (when Im not teaching you preschool).
I love love love our time together!!  I NEVER EVER EVER want you to go to Kindergarten!  Just stay 4 FOREVER PLEASE!!!!
Thursday we go to the rec center.  You're so big, you go to the play center all by yourself for an hour while I exercise and then I pick you up and we go SWIMMING!!! FUN!!
You're pretty nervous in the water, but we ALWAYS have FUN.

So a couple funny things I just had to record was, in church a few weeks ago when it was time for the sacrament you got all excited and said, "REFRESHMENTS!"  I died laughing!!  You're ever the Princess!  And today you took the bread and were going on about how much you love church bread and finally to get it across to me you said, "Its like hot dog bread!!!"  You really are the funniest spunkiest girl and I love every single piece of you.

You are always so very very full of energy, angst, fire!  You're just AMAZINGLY... SMART, beautiful, and determined in everything you do.  You are so sensitive though too and get your feelings hurt easily if I am too hard on you.  You're so precious, I love you with all my heart!!!

HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY!!!!

Happy Birthday my lovey Princess!!!
This was such an exciting birthday!!  You have been looking forward to it for at least 4 months!  It has been especially fun since you wanted a "Frozen" party, there was just so many fun things to do with that!  First I made a complete frozen wonderland in our house for you.

 A yummy simple cake...that you didn't even eat.  You are a CAKE POP girl!!  No worries, I made those just for you too!!  :)

 Aunt Megan sent you this AMAZING Elsa dress, which just made you look like a PERFECT Ice Princess.

 You are absolutely GORGEOUS!!

I just love your sweet precious darling innocent pure face.

Your lips are my favorite!!

I love watching you talk and how you form your words.

I love your kisses.

I love your laughs.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!!

You had all your little Oregon friends come and we had a great party!

You're a good friend, and everyone LOVES you!!

 On your actual birthday we woke up and you got to open all your presents!  SO FUN!!

 For your birthday dinner I made tacos with GUACAMOLE, your MOST FAVORITE food (next to ketchup!)  You call it wok-a-mole which cracks me up!  Umm, and these pictures...

 You are so funny.  How is so much personality stuffed into such a tiny cutie?

You are a tornado at meal time, hence you are shirtless, heck you were probably pantless too!

You have a talent for mess making Miss Miss!!

Since you are a July baby, we have FIREWORKS sitting around.

It was a fun touch for your cake.

This about sums you up!

You make life so happy, you add such an extra boost of fun, and I love that you extend our time in the toddler arena, because I sure am not ready to be out of it.

You are the best little snuggle bug, you fill the roll of "baby of the family" perfectly!  You get your way just about 99.9% of the time.  We all indulge you cause you're just that special....and demanding.

Here are some of your favorites:

You and Baylor are just best buddies.  You adore your sisters.  You have Dad wrapped around your finger, and my heart beats for you.

We love you, your feisty crazy nature (when you get sent to your room and you SCREAM and cry we get the biggest kick out of listening to the weird things you scream),  your sweet quick ability to forgive and ask for forgiveness,  your sensitive protective nature always wanting everyone to be safe and not do things that you're nervous about or think others should not do or are scared about.  You are one in a million and just absolutely WONDERFUL!

I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL!

Happy Day You Were Born!!

Love Eternally,

Mom

MY JOY

Brynny Pie you bring so much joy to my life every single day!

You are very very funny and very very VERY lovey.  You are well aware that you are the baby and talk a lot of the time in baby talk, you always always are asking for "snuggle my back?", and when you do something wrong you are the saddest most repented child I have ever seen.  "IIIII"M SORWEEEEE MAMA.  Do you forgive me?"  You say that at least twice a day cause you do do "naughty" things.  Oh my gosh, as I type this (one handed), literally typed that sentence I saw you eat your booger out of the corner of my eye and gasped, which made you cry and say it, "IM SORRRRWEEEEE.  Im so sorrrrweee!" as you wail.  The only thing that makes you stop crying is when I tell you I forgive you.
Why do you eat your boogers???  I hate that and I have really had to teach you not to.  You're getting much better.  Thats why I gasped, cause you haven't done it in forever....that I know of.
Other "naughty" things you do (which honestly honey they are not naughty, just things you shouldn't and my initial freak out makes you feel bad, then I feel bad and  I tell you its not a big deal that you're still learning.  Now when you're sad you cry and say, "it's ok. Im jus lurning huh mom?"  MELT. MY. HEART!  Usually it involves markers (you never put lids on and they bleed all over the place. Or you use the Sharpies which you are forbidden from and they bleed through onto the furniture, floor, counter.  Even as I write this I know how wonderful you are and these little things you do are things I have to teach you not to do, but they are precious little childhood things that make being a mom both hard and wonderful.  I love your innocence and creativity, your explorative and fun seeking nature.

You always are saying FUUUUNNY stuff!  Here are some things I wrote down, there are millions though!
So we are moving back to COLORADO!  Hallelujah!   But you went right into packing mode, bless your heart.  You dumped all your toys out of the different backpacks and bags I have them in and put in the most random collection of things, then put on your backpack, rolled your mini suitcase, and held your lunchbox and came to me and said, "I packed my stuff and this I what I will look like when we move."  Ahhh, you're the BEST!  I went through your sweet bags and you had amongst other things, lots of socks, a dead old nonworking cell phone which you said, "i need a phone", rocks, crayons, a silver sparkly boa, Lauren's slippers, and play food.  You called it, "My packing stuff".

I don't remember now what we were talking about but you said, "It broke-ted and we frowed it away, huh?" I LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK!!!!

You were not happy at bowling.
I love this angry face!!

Here is a bad dream you told me about,  "These babies were playing in a pool.  And this merman and baby were playing, but then they lost their power and were sinking."
SAAAAAD!  You hate bad dreams and when I lay you in your bed you always check, "if I have a bad dream can I come sleep in your bed?"  Yes, darling, of course.  And 9 times out of 10 I wake up next to you.  I LOOOOOVE IT!  When I wake up and you're not there, I feel like I missed out on you.  Right now Im kneeling typing on my bed, and our legs are crossed as you lay watching Dinosaur Train with your one foot resting on my shoulder.  We're tight.

Another fabulous quality about you, is you are FIERCELY protective of your siblings.  For example, Baylor has a wart on his toe and I wanted just to look at it and he freaked out telling me not to hurt it.  I promised I wouldn't.  You say, "don't use scissors,a knife, or a fork!  Scissors are actually the scariest things."  hahahahahhahhaa!!!!  YOU crack me UP!!!  When one of your siblings is about to get in trouble or they get hurt you ALWAYS cry with and for them.  You are so tender hearted.

Basically Brynners YOU ARE THE BEST!! I tell you that everyday and I hope you'll grow up knowing it.  And more than anything I want you to know you are loved by your mom greater than you can ever imagine, with a love that transcends time, place, and regardless of what you do...even sharpie the whole house.  I love you my miracle Brynnly Kathleen.

Strawberry Pickin!

We loooooove doing this!  You are super good at it too! Your favorite though...eating them while we pick!!  You're a tasting queen!  You're so cute!!
