Another birthday...come and gone...

As far as birthdays go, I don't think Brynnley's 9th will go down in history as "the best." Don't get me wrong...we celebrated...in the midst of school, volleyball game, piano lessons, soccer practice, football practice and a teacher orientation.
Do we know how to celebrate or what?
In spite of all the craziness, B said she had a great day. How lucky we are to have this beautiful (fiesty) girl in our family! Never a dull moment as she is CONSTANTLY singing at the top of her lungs. CONSTANTLY. Surrounded by lots of friends, there seems to be drama of some sort on a regular basis. (Is that typical for 9-year-olds?) She is super-friendly and has a smile that lights up the room. She also has been known to have an attitude that will challenge the most patient of people (which I am not...) She loves soccer and gymnastics...(another constant...cartwheels and back bends in the family room, in the parking lot, on the soccer field, in the grocery store) and going without shoes. After begging for months to take piano lessons, she was ready to quit after the second week. (Turns out, she just wants to know how to play...doesn't want to have to actually practice or learn.)
Ever in awe of her big sister,...she is quite popular amongst Addysen's friends whether at volleyball or basketball...and she has quite the crush on more than one of Addysen's friends.
We are so grateful for this spirited and lively little girl. We sure do love our Boo Da Loos!
