Brayden is 4!!!

Four years ago the sweetest little baby girl entered our lives.
This morning she was woken up by her little brother. At first she was very upset, telling him to get out of her room. Then it clicked and she started yelling, "I'm 4! Today is my birthday! I'm 4!!" She got over being upset with Grayson pretty quick and was ready for the day!
Brayden is still the sweetest little girl ever...and she is definitely not lacking in spunk or personality! It's very normal at our house for one minute to be sunshine and roses and the next to be crying and whining {I'm afraid the teenage years are going to be rough}.
Brayden is super smart and loves to spell and write her name. {At first she could only write "Bra" so it was pretty important to teach her the "yden" part!} She knows her alphabet, colors and shapes and counts to 16 very well {17-20 are hit or miss}. This school year she will be in the 3 day 4-year-old class and she cannot wait!
Brayden loves her brothers, even though she can sometimes smother and boss them around. She loves playing with friends, dressing up and pretending. She recently has begun to make up her own songs and loves to perform for an audience.
Our world was turned upside down when Brayden joined our family four years ago. But we wouldn't have it any other way. We love her sweet and we love her spunk!
Happy Birthday Brayden Lynn!

Beautiful little girl, inside and out.
I now know how Boogs felt about you Jennifer.
It's a special kind of love. Pops.

Great photo shoot of a cute birthday girl! Did you make her shirt--it is adorable?!

On a side note, we'd love to take you up on your offer for a postcard from Texas... can I email you our address or do you want me to just leave it as a comment?

Love the photos and the t-shirt! So cute. Can't believe she is four already.
