BRYNLEE HAD A BIRTHDAY SHOUT...

HOORAY!!!!

 On June 29th Brynlee turned 6! For some reason this has been a very anticipated birthday for Bryn...probably because she is one of the youngest of her friends and everyone had already turned 6. We decided (last minute) to do her party at the fun fro-yo joint called Menchies! It is fairly new to the area and such a fun little place. It was definitely soooo nice for me. We just had to show up and everything was done for us...my kind of party! :) We kept it small, but Brynlee didn't mind. They all had a great time! 

Even Soph got in on the Menchies fun!

Brynlee is such a fun part of our family! She is very active and full of energy. She loves playing with friends and sometimes thinks she has to have a friend with her at all times. :) We often times have to remind her that her sister is also a friend and would love to play with her. Still working on that sibling love! :) Brynlee has started really getting into gymnastics and dance and is loving both. She is constantly doing hand stands and dancing around the house. She also recently got her ears pierced. She had been hesitant for a while because she was scared it would hurt. Her dad was fine with her waiting as long as she wanted (his choice would have been like 16yrs old) but I really wanted to get them done. Once I told her that her cousin Remi got her's pierced and she didn't cry at all...that was all it took. She was ready that day! We ended up making a chores chart and made her earn points to get them pierced. It took her about 10 days to earn her 100 points and then it was time. On her birthday it had been 7wks since they were pierced, so I let her try out some new earrings. Fun day for our little 6 year old! Brynlee is a GREAT help with Sophie and loves to take care of her for me. The other day she got her out of bed, changed her diaper, put her in her high chair, made her some oatmeal and warmed it in the microwave. I came out of my room and took over at that point, but she could have done it all on her own. Her wanting to be a constant help is often so nice, but sometimes a little much. I am so grateful for her though. She is growing up too fast and turning into a beautiful little girl. Love you Bryn!!
