Soccer Season #1 complete

A couple of weeks ago Brylie played in the last game for this soccer season. We can only hope she's lucky enough to wear pink again next season. It turned out to be quite the coveted color of the U6 girls group. She has really enjoyed playing soccer and by the end was actually trying to take the ball at times rather then just running after it and waiting for it to come to her.

Boy is she proud of her trophy!! She has it proudly displayed in her room and even took it to preschool for show and tell. The beginning of next season can't get here soon enough!

Mother's Day Present

So on Mother's Day I was feeling a little under the weather. I guess Beckam wanted to help remedy that, so he left a little present for me to find when I came down stairs.

He gave himself a little haircut!!

Luckily he didn't cut it too short and he has curly hair so I could blend it in when needed. Brylie has never cut her own hair, so this is a new thing. Oh boy I don't know what I'm going to do with him.

She's FIVE!!!

May started out for us with an important birthday. Brylie turned 5 and she couldn't have been more excited about it. And being the big girl she is, she was surprisingly good about having to wait until after church to open presents and celebrate. Once we got home though, there wasn't a moment to waste.

And nothing but salad with no dressing and extra cucumbers would do for her birthday dinner. And instead of cake she wanted daddy's special brownies.

The following Saturday was Brylie's Alladin's Carnival Birthday party. She invited quite a few friends. The wind died down long enough to get everything set up, kicked back up during the party and then went away in time to take everything down, but at least it was sunny!! (And can I say again how much I love our back area.)

The carnival was complete with games under tents, bounce houses, face painting, a balloon guy and of course popcorn and cotton candy.

Once everyone played the games and filled their bags with prizes it was time for decorating cupcakes and presents.

Every moment of planning and chaos was worth giving Brylie her special days! Five is going to be a great year for her. She is getting bigger and more mature every day and brings so much joy to our family.

Some fun facts about Brylie:

- She loves, loves, loves to play with friends

- She loves to dance to Radio Disney playing on her Hello Kitty cd player

- She plays on the computer for hours every day

- She is a great big sister and plays with Beckam

- She loves to draw and write stories, give her a notebook and it will be full within a couple of days

- She has a very tender heart

- She likes to help do things around the house

- She tries to be good everyday and it's hard for her when she isn't

- She knows what mom's dance party song is and likes to dance with mommy in the car when it comes on

- She likes to be going, going, going

We love Brylie so much and can't wait for many more years with her. Happy Birthday!!!
