Umbrella Parade

Brinley had an umbrella parade at preschool. It was cute watching all the kids with their umbrellas. Brinley was having a hard time walking in her heels so she was WAY behind everyone else. What was her mother thinking?!

Flag Football

Hurry Summer!

I am so excited for summer! I went out and saw all these boys on the tramp and had to get a picture. This is just some of the boys in our neighborhood. They have so much fun! Hurry up summer!

Brinley's Birthday Party With Belle!

This year for Brinley's Birthday she decided she wanted to have a princess party. (Imagine that!) It was so much fun! We had 11 little girls over all dressed up in their princess gowns. Brinley chose Ariel so we got all sorts of "Ariel" items. Including Ariel to come to the party. And of course at the last minute she decided she wants Belle to come. Anyway, the girls had so much fun and it was so cute to see them all dressed up and in awe over meeting "the real Belle." Belle was AMAZING! She did such a great job! I was in awe myself! Be ready for LOTS of pictures!



The arrival of Belle


First she told her story and sang a song. Her voice was so good. And not just her singing voice!


Next she taught the girls how to dance like a princess. They were all sooo CUTE! Twirling in their dresses and doing a curtsy.

Belle telling them another story. They all got crowns or a wand.


She taught them a Happy Birthday Princess song to sing to Brinley.


More dancing and games.

I love that I was able to capture this picture of their sweet faces just watching Belle. When the party was over they all wanted to give her a hug and they told her they loved her. How adorable!

She was so good with the girls and made Brin feel extra special. Brinley didn't have a whole lot to say to Belle but she was so happy and has talked about it non stop.

Everyone singing Happy Birthday.

Telling Belle goodbye and learning how to wave like a princess. When Belle was leaving my niece Presley asked if she could go to the castle with her. Too cute!

Here are a couple clips from the party. You will have to pause the music player to listen.

Happy Birthday Brinley!

Happy Birthday Brinley! I can't believe you are 4! I am so happy and blessed to have this beautiful little girl in my life. You bring so much happiness into our home and I am grateful Heavenly Father sent you to me. You have the sweetest little personality. You are definitely the boss in our family but we love it. You are so cute with your brothers and you love them so much. I love that you are a girly-girl! After 3 boys we were ready for our little princess. We love you so much!

You were the cutest little baby!


Your proud brothers holding their new baby sister!

"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!" We had a combined family birthday party for Brinley and my 2 nephews over at my brothers house. Brinley fell asleep mad in the car and I had to get this picture of her.



Time for presents!
