Brilee

So a milestone of Brilee's came about when she started Pre-School last Thursday! She was so excited to go. Its like she turned four and is all the sudden a sponge and wants to learn! She looked so cute. After I took her pictures and looked at them I about died...thinking to myself how old my baby looks. Well ladies and gentleman, she is no longer a baby. I will admit that now! She is so damn cute.

Brilee's First Soccer Game


Friday Night Brilee came down with a low grade fever of about 100. She was complaining of her throat, stomach and head hurting. Which Brilee is not a complainer, so I knew something was up. So I gave her some medicine and called it a night. She woke up at about 11:00 crying because she didn't feel good. I told her that we were not going to be able to go to her soccer game in the morning because she was sick. She started crying and said "But mommy can we go and I will sit and watch my friends?" So of course I agreed. In the morning we got ready and went.





Once we got there she went out with her team and warmed up a bit and started the game. She did great!!! For the whole two minutes she played! And yes that is her outrunning everyone! After about two minutes she tapped on her coaches hip asking her if she could please sit on her mommy's lap. So of course they let her out of the game and she watched the rest from the sidelines. Now as all of you know this is very unlike Brilee...She wants to be wherever the fun or action is at all times. Come to find out, she had strep throat. So, GOOD JOB BRILEE! Even if it was only for two minutes, at least she wanted to try. I on the other hand wouldn't have been able to get my butt out of bed!

Brilee is #2

Brilee and Kam's Hair cuts!

OK, so I know I have been slacking with the once a week thing. But in my defense, I have been crazy busy! Anyway, Kambrie and Brilee got their hair cut the other day. Kambrie's was much needed being that it was her first hair cut....well at least the first one I had control of. And Brilee's...well, you all know how long her hair was....it was just too long! Beautiful, but long. So Kambrie was first. Now, as you look at these pictures, please don't laugh....ok, you can laugh because yes...she did have a Mullet! You would never know because I always pull her hair up, but when we were in Cancun last May, Lances mom cut her bangs because they were driving her nuts. Which I cant complain...she watched my kids for 7 days....and that alone would drive a person nuts! So thanks to Vicki, Kambrie now has a cute little 1/2 mullet 1/2 bob! Only a couple more months until it is all grown out. But it definitely looks much better!

Now, Brilee's hair was ridiculously long. The little girl would not let me cut it. I have been trying for over a year. She has had it trimmed, but was for some reason attached to her hair. (Must have been the hundreds of comments she would receive on a weekly basis.)
So we cut about 6 inches off. And believe it or not, I got a bit teary eyed.
After it was cut, she went and looked in the mirror and said "But Mommy, I wanted it short like yours!" Ha! Yea right. There is no way in hell I could have done that the first time. So I told her next spring we would cut it shorter.

Anyway, they both look Beautiful! Thanks Vicki!
