Happy 4th Birthday to my sweet Princess!

Dear Princess Brylee,
I can't believe you are already 4 years and 21 days old.  Yep, I am a little behind.  Our life has been C-R-A-Z-Y since mommy went back to work "part time".  You have adjusted well and you love playing with one of your best friends, Riley while mommy is at work.  I haven't even gotten through the first few sentences and tears are already stinging my eyes.  Maybe this is one reason I've been putting off writing this...... I remember the day you were born just like it was yesterday.  I remember the car ride to the hospital with daddy driving and Nana in the back seat.  I remember so badly wanting to stop by Hardee's to get breakfast but they had told me no food.  I remember every tiny detail about my labor and delivery with you.  Just a few weeks ago something was said and I told you I had you being born on video.  You asked me if you could watch it and I was hesitant but decided to let you.  (I did turn down the sound of mommy yelling though)  You watched with amazement in your eyes.  You were grinning from ear to ear and you thought it was the neatest thing ever!  You talked about it for days and you then asked to see Darbie's birth and Hudson's birth.  Silly girl! 

You are now 40 pounds and 43.5 inches tall!  You are currently sick with what we think is strep throat.=(  You are starting to feel a little better today!  Finally! 

This year, you decided to eat at Chick-Fil-A for your brithday dinner!  It was right up your alley.  We ate outside and you and Hudson played!  You opened presnets from mommy, daddy, Darbie, and Hudson.  That night, you and mommy had to drive to Norfolk so you could have  a sleep study done at CHKD.  I don't know what kidn of information they got from you because you barely slept.  You had to have the sleep study done becuase your tonsils are about the size of bouncy balls in your throat and have always been HUGE!  The ENT doctor is trying to decide whether they need to be removed or not and the thought of you having surgery scares me to death!  You had your birthday party at Chuck E Cheese again this year.   You love that place and had a blast with all of your friends!

Currently, you still love the Disney Princesses, Minnie Mouse, Doc McStuffins, My Little Poney, Dora.....and just about anything else on Disney Jr.  You continue to have a LOVE for talking =)  You have turned into a little mommy, especially with Hudson.  You look after him so well.  You take care of him, you share with him, and you help him.  It is a sweet sight to see!  You love your big sister so much!  You look up to her like no other! I hope you all three always have a special closeness that nothing can tear apart!  You are very opinionated, especially when it comes to clothes.  I almost don't buy you anything without your approval first.  =(  You are missing our family back in Alabama more and more as you get older.  You guys just spend spring break and Easter in Alabama and that's all  you have talked about since.  You want to see Ellie bug.  You want Nana and Papa to come visit your home in VA.  You want to spend the night with Uncle Zach and Aunt Laura..... It breaks my heart and tells me that we are all ready to go home next summer for good!  You still love roller coasters and will ride anythign Busch Gardens will let  you on!  Your friends here in VA that you love to play with are Riley, Hailee, Addyson, Alicia, Jordyn, Austin, Riley, Ava, Abigail, Lincoln, Logan, Peyton, and I am sure a few more I am missing.  You can keep our social calendar booked!  Here recently, you orchestrated a water party that mommy knew nthing about.  You even invited Alicia over for it!  You have been on my case to have this party of yours so as soon as school is out for the summer, we are having it!

This year, you went to AWANA on Wednesday nights.  You went from crying when I dropped you off to crying when I came to pick you up.  you think it's your school, since you dont go to preschool like some of your friends.  You picked up ballet again in January and just finished your second recital!  You did an amazing job!  Mommy and daddy LOVE watching you dance!  You also tried out gymnastics and you liked it ok!  You are also playing in your first season of soccer.  You are hanging in there!  We will see if you continue to play =)

You are such a smart, sweet, caring, kind, giving, active, sassy girl who loves Jesus!  You love church and you loving doing your nightly devotionals.  You often ask us to pray for you for some reason and it melts our hearts.

Mommy and Daddy love you sooooo much and although we would love for you to stay little, we know that that can't happen and we are excited to see what God does with you!  He has big plans for you, Brylee Kayden Hill!  You are so funny and I can't remember what life was like without you!

You, just hours old!


this was walking into the mall to get your first haircut!  Yes, your first haircut right before you turned 4!!!  I miss these long curls (although it doesnt look very curly in this picture)


 



Yes, we told her to even it out not realizing how much hair that would be....about 6 inches later, you were in love with  your new haircut and mommy and daddy wanted to cry =)

Your 2013 recital.  It was during Hudson's nap time so he stayed at home with a friend!

You little silly girls who love to talk during soccer games =)  It has been so much fun watching you two play soccer!
