Happy 7th Birthday sweet girl!

March 16th, 7 years ago was one of the greatest days of my life...I got to meet one of the greatest gifts God has ever given me! I can't believe that the time has passed so fast! You're growing up into the young lady that God has created you to be...but it doesn't mean that I don't miss those first few "baby" years I had with you! You are such a sweet and funny girl...one who LOVES basketball, soccer, and softball, riding bikes, bugs, video games, board games...you love to learn, you are reading like crazy and spelling words that even I don't spell very good :0) Your sense of humor makes us all laugh and you have the cutest gap in your mouth where you have lost your top 2 baby teeth! I love you more than words will allow me to express and want you to know how proud I am of who you are and what you are becoming! Hope your this 7th year of your little life is one of the best years yet! We had to wake up with birthday pancakes, because that is what you asked for :)

and what is a birthday without a present...although you have already had your party and we couldn't leave out Avery...she needed a little prize :) Just what you wanted...a stealth rider (tiny remote control car!) explaining exactly how it works then we met our cousins at the park for a picnic lunch Avery and Grace Brenly and Grace All the kiddos Ava came to join in on the fun Unfortunately, the day didn't end without a few boo-boos...SEVEN to be exact...how appropriate that your 7th birthday started with 7 boo-boos

We ended up at YoLo's for a little birthday treat Ava was over having her picture taken...she just wanted to eat her yogurt in peace Enjoying some yogurt goodness AND ANOTHER PRESENT...MiMi had sent you a package... a $50 dollar bill to buy you a new Kinnect Game and of course, Avery got a little something too! Happy Birthday Bren! We love you!

Harlem Globetrotters

Brenly has really gotten into basketball this year, and so for her birthday, KeKe got all of us tickets to go see the Harlem Globetrotters! We had a girls night and had so much fun!





Thank you KeKe for such a fun night full of memories!

Art Party for our "almost" 7 year old!

Mrs. Jessie Hanks is Brenly's wonderful art teacher...she is also a wonderful friend! Several weeks ago I was at an art party with Mrs.Hanks (she does Canvas Vino Art parties around town and they are super fun!) and she made the suggestion that we should have an art party for Brenly's birthday...I came home to tell Brenly about it and she was THRILLED! So yesterday was the big day! And I have to say that I think the party was a huge success...The kids enjoyed themselves and got to take their art home with them! TOO MUCH FUN!


The "camo" table...Notice that Brenly is at this table :)

the pink and black table...
the purple and blue table...
the pink and green and blue table...
Pure chaos...that was tons of fun :)
Avery's creation...isn't it BEAUTIFUL?!?!?!?!?!
And since it was an art party...I decided that they needed to create their very own cupcakes...
Look at the concentration in making that PERFECT cupcake :)

She's "almost" 7!!

Rowan got a little help from his momma...



trying to "girly" Brenly's masterpiece up a bit :)



Adding a name to these girls masterpieces sure helped them quite a bit! Precious little angels :)

Thanks you Mrs. Hanks for the most awesome party ever! You are the best and we are grateful to have you in our lives!

Happy 7th Birthday to my precious angel! I love you bigger than the sky and so thankful that God has allowed me to be your momma! May this next year hold many blessings for you!

Brenly's birthday month begins...

This past Saturday, Brenly was dying to open the present that Avery had gotten her for her bday...Keep in mind that her bday isn't until next week, but we were celebrating with her party on Sunday...but Avery agreed that she needed to open it!!




Avery was so proud of herself and Brenly LOVED it :)

Don't you wish...

...you were this cute with your belly hanging out of your bikini??...


She is so proud of herself and can't wait for it to be warmer so she can try it out in MiMi's pool!!!
