Six Years Old!

Now that the blog stalker issues are under control, I can play catch up again!

It seems like having 3 kids is now starting to catch up with me.  It wasn't so bad in the beginning, but Spring came and life got busy!  

One of the most significant things that has happened over the last month....

My Girl Turned 6!

It seems like time is going too fast!  I just want to make it slow down a bit!  She had a great birthday, and was looking forward to it coming for weeks.  

The morning of her birthday she woke up to lots of balloons.  We let her open her gifts before school since Nate was on call, and we weren't sure if he'd be around any other time that day.   We took cupcakes for her class, and she got to choose where we went for dinner...McDonalds.   Then home for cupcakes and to sing happy birthday to her.

 Sunglasses from Gracen.

 She got the movie Tangled, and a Rapunzel doll.  I love the excited look on her face!

The day after Brynlee's birthday, Nate's parents and his Grandma were coming to visit for the weekend.  They brought a special birthday surprise for Brynlee....Her cousin Brooke!

Brynlee was so excited when she saw that Brooke came with them!  When they got here, I took Brooke over to Brynlee's bedroom door and when Brynlee saw her she just kinda flopped over on her bed and started giggling.   She kept telling everyone that Brooke was her birthday surprise!

On Saturday, we had a birthday party for Brynlee.

She was so excited to have her friends over.  It wasn't well planned, but here is what we did...

First all the kids played a game where they had to race to pop all the balloons in the basket.  It was funny watching these 2 girls.  They were both afraid of the sound and kept plugging their ears, and couldn't get their balloons to pop.

The next game we played was dress up like Brynlee's daddy race.  They had to put on the scrubs and a hat as quick as they could and pose for a picture.  There was lots of giggling during this game!

Then we went in and had some pizza and somehow the cake disappeared!  We couldn't find it anywhere.  The kids did a cake hunt, that lead them back to the table for some Hello Kitty birthday cake.

Usually I take a picture of the cake, but I didn't have one of just the cake, but you can kinda see it here...

This was probably one of the easiest cakes I've made her, and it turned out pretty cute!

She opened her presents, lots of barbies!   

Brynlee with all of her friends, kinda funny how 2 of the boys are sitting away from all the girls!

It was a fun birthday for this six year old girl!

She is growing up to be such a fun, sweet girl!  I just love her so much.  She loves to read and write, loves playing with Bridger and Gracen and is such a good big sister.  One of her favorite things to do is color and draw, and she really enjoys spending lots of time playing outside. 

Happy Sixth Birthday Brynlee!!
