Happy Birthday Brylie!!!!

My teeny tiny baby just home from the hospital 3 YEARS AGO!!! Brylie, I can't believe you are three years old! The time has flown by so quickly! You are growing into such a sweet "big" girl :) You constantly laugh and enjoy the world around you. I am so thankful for this because it is hard to be in another country away from family and you take it all in stride! We joke about how you "love life" and you truly have such a positive and cheerful spirit :)

You love to take care of your babies and your little brother. You are such a good helper with him and Mommy appreciates it! You are such a busy girl and you are easily entertained :) You are so excited to start school next year now that you are three!

You have been testing the boundaries a lot lately (must be the age!) and if I pick up the Bible you say "Children obey your parents" right away - (can you tell we read that verse a lot? :) ) You care about what is going on around you and are full of questions about everything! You like to talk and while we are out and about you say "hello" to everyone passing by :) You are so creative when you play with your toys and love to make up games for you and Truett to play together.

We are so thankful to be your parents and we love you more than you know sweet girl!!!!

Happy Birthday to you Brylie!!!


We loved seeing your face for the first time and those cute cheeks!






The hospital put a pink bow on your hat and from then on it has all been "pink" and "bows"!




We celebrated Brylie's birthday yesterday since Geoff had to work Saturday night and all day today (poor guy, this has been tough for all of us!). We made the most of our time together and spent the day having lots of quality time together!




Brylie was so excited to wake up to her pretty pink princess birthday tea! :)














Finally! The much anticipated bike!!




Tea party with Daddy and Truey




Little bro playing with some of your presents :)




You are learning how to pedal forward and get very frustrated when you can't pedal backwards!




Truett loving some family time...it started raining after a little while so more bike riding later!




Lydia is all strapped in and ready to go!






Well done Brylie!! :)




The favorite game of the day - Daddy throws us in the air!




LOVING this! :)




"I went so high!!!"






Truett's turn :)






Brylie also got a camera for her birthday and loves to take pictures of everything! She told Geoff, "Daddy, you should get a camera like me and Mommy so we can all take pictures!" :)






Helping me make her birthday cake! She didn't get to see the finished product until after her nap, but she really wanted to help make part of it!








Another birthday request! She wanted to make macaroni and cheese muffins! There was a recipe in her Highlights magazine and every time we read it she talked about making these :)




Enjoying their lunch together! Brylie, I loved having your help in the kitchen and loved spending time with you all day on your special day!! Daddy and I love you very much!! :)

Aw, I wish I could just walk over there with my kids and have a playdate! That stinks that they are working Geoff so much. Has to be hard on all of you.

Okay, so I think it would be really cool if you bumped the contrast all the way up on the first pic of Geoff throwing Brylie and the first one throwing Truett in the air so they would totally be silouhettes. Would look really neat :-)
