Brinley's "REAL" Birthday!

Brinley celebrated her 5th birthday on June 20th! I can't believe my baby is five years old, where has the time gone!? Brinley is such a fun little girl! She if FULL of personality and always making us laugh. She is a great big sister and such a good helper. I love her smile, and her laugh even more! I love how she wants to help people. I am so lucky to have her! I love you Brinley Boo!!!

Ever since her 4th birthday she has been planning her 5th birthday. She wanted to so bad to have a "family" party in St. George, UT with all her cousins. Unfortunately, that was not even close to possible, and nothing else I came up with sounded fun to her... but our friend Casie's Dad (Scott) offered to let her come swim at his house and it saved the day! She was so excited and it worked out perfectly! Ryan even had the day off! She wanted to to be an "adult" party, but I told her she should invite just 1 friend and I think she was glad she did :)


Classic Brinley pose :) 5 years old!!!


Kylie May and Brinley Boo


We made pizzas and then cooked them in Scott's pizza trailer. It was so yummy and so fun!




Casen and Kyle had a great time on the putting green :)



Brinley's favorite cake


Dayna and Casie - Dayna about 4 months pregnant and Casie 9 months pregnant ... she had her sweet baby girl the very next day!!!


Singing happy birthday to Brinley


Blow Brin! It took a couple big breaths to blow these babies out but she finally got them!


Scott and Brinley. She had so much fun shooting these water shooters with Scott!


Tre and Casen had fun jumping... they only get along for short periods, glad I caught a good moment on camera!


Brinley loved Derek's backflip and wanted to try some tricks too :)


Haha, I love this pic of Case... it's his hey-guys-why-are-you-shooting-me-with-water face :)


Casen finally decided he wanted to do tricks too, I was SO excited that he was finally jumping in!




Derek, Darcy, and Ryan... maybe not the best pic :) But they had so much fun playing basket ball together, it was pretty funny watching them. People at church often think that Darcy and Ryan are brothers, or just confuse them for eachother!


Marlee was pretty impressed with Brinley's presents


The only present Brinley asked for was this My Little Pony, it came with clips, shoes, a headband. I think she was happy she got it, but she LOVED all her other presents too and has had so much fun playing with them!


This is the thank you card for Scott that Brinley had me help her write :)

Thanks everyone for a great night!
