A Touch Of Tyrell

Here's our cute girl at SEVEN! I always let her pose herself and do her own thing and it's always cute.   Breckie is social but timid. Crazy bossy and possessive at the moment.  Cheese hater, lettuce despiser, bacon lover.  Sneaky, sweet, messy & thoughtful.  Her favorite thing is her little stuffed Bear (named Jingle) that Ms. Gray gave her for Christmas.  She continues to be crafty and creative. She is slowly learning how to read and write and majorly lacks confidence in those areas.  She is a great sister & daughter! She is so loving and totally hilarious.  We love you Breckie!! and your adorable, toothy smile!

Our long-haired, big-eyed beauty queen is 6 1/2 already.  She is loving first grade and has made some big academic strides so far this year! She is a great friends and a great big sister to Roxy. She and Roxy are little buddies now and it's really cute.  Breckie still adores stuffed animals, bacon, crafting and creating.  She loves being girly, fake nails, perfume, eye shadow, and wearing cute clothes.  She was pretty excited when I told her it was her half birthday. We were going to make cupcakes or something to make it extra awesome. She's a special little thing!

Breckie has been BEGGING me to let her have "a swim suit that has a top and a bottom but no middle" for a while.  It just so happened that I was at Ross a few days before our Mexico trip and I found her THE CUTEST two-piece for $7.99.  And those pineapple sunglasses for $2.99 They were just too cute on her and she was totally game for a few pictures on the beach. And the newly missing front tooth was the icing on the cake 😍 This little girlie does all of her own posing. I wish I could take credit but I can't.  (That was our beach house for the weekend ⬈ ) I really wanted a picture of each kid on the beach and then all three of them together but it was an impossible task. I have SO many great pictures of our kids already so it really wasn't a big deal.  It seems funny (sometimes) that they can't even stand next to each other and look towards me without fighting. #siblings

At five and a half Breckie is our professional family crafter. She is such a little creator and junk collector! She crafts and colors and cuts and glues all day long! She has glitter pens and shopkins and baggies of homemade slime and trinkets in all over the place.  She is our gift giver.  She hardly has a pain tolerance at all. She came home with bandaids for the first few weeks of school with very minor abrasions underneath :) She likes baking and watching crafting/toy videos on YouTube.   Since we didn't do preschool she seems to have a ways to go when it comes to writing. A lot of her letters get written backwards and after she writes the first line left to right, she will write the next like right to left with the letters mirrored.  She's pretty shy/timid which sometimes seems to translate into unfriendliness... but I understand. #storyofmylife These pictures are a...

Turning 8 is definitely a huge milestone birthday! So we dressed Everett up in a new white shirt and a his first suit coat and took some 8-year-old baptism pictures at the temple.  He did so good. He's such a natural in front of the camera! He told me that he's pick all of the flowers and give them to me if he could! He is truly a sweetheart.  And he's a great big brother! Aunt Bridget was there too :) Roxy has been obsessed with her babies and brings them everywhere. Everett's hand snuck in the picture it's probably one of my most favorite pictures of all time!!!!  We are so proud of Everett and so happy he's trying to be like Jesus and getting baptized soon!
