It's Sweet to be SIX!

Saturday was Brinlee's birthday. She turned 6 years old and had a very fun day! We did lots of things to celebrate and she said it was the best day ever! These are 6 unique things about Brinlee:

1: She was born the day after her Grandpa Jerry's birthday weighing in at 9 lbs. 2 oz.

2: She didn't have hair on her head until she was 2 years old.

3: She doesn't have a middle name, so we have made some up over time...
Brinlee Boo, Boo, Boo and Brinlee Noodle.

4: She has HATED shopping since she was very small--like around 2 or 3 years old (especially Walmart)!

5: She can read quite well and does well in school.

6: She is actually very sweet considering her stubborn streak and her opinionated ways. She makes us laugh with the things she says and comes up with and we LOVE HER!!

Brinlee got a new bike with ladybugs on it! Her favorite bug...

The girls got their nails done at the beauty school and loved it!

Then they rode the carousel for the first time this year!

We made Brinlee a ladybug cake (as seen on Mic's blog...) This ladybug was pink instead of red...Not sure if we will hire that baker again! ;)

Brinlee made some wishes that she wouldn't tell, so we hope they came true...We love you Blondie!

P.S. Cambree has ALWAYS loved birthdays...especially her own. However, she really struggled showing her joy when Brin got a new bike!

Rain, rain go away...give us a nice summer day...

It has rained and rained and then rained some more! Just when I think it is going to be a nice day, the clouds roll in and there is more rain. And, it is raining day and night. For three weeks now it has been raining...On the upside, the grass has never been greener and we haven't had to haul hoses around the yard the whole month of June.


Because of the constant moisture, the girls have had 3 T-Ball games cancelled. They have played only one...I'm not sure that we will get to play much this season, since it ends the 1st week of July.
Also, the troops are getting restless! They are in the house all day and driving Aidan crazy! I think he really wanted to be an only child... Here is a new trick he pulled lately. We thought it was hilarious...Hopefully he won't break the drawer!
