Rest of April Recap

Brielle "lost" her 1st tooth, but it wasn't the way we had hoped. Poor little girl came home from China with lots of cavities.  One of the teeth that was capped about a year ago became abscessed so she had to have it pulled. (She fell and scratched her cheek the day before which is why her left cheek looks shiny.)

She was a little worried the tooth fairy wouldn't find her sleeping in mommy & daddy's room! You can see a little of the pixie dust on the edge of the green blanket. 😊  (The girls camped out in our room while Alex was at the Together for the Gospel conference.)

Beilyn was so excited for her!

Brynna went to Camp Read-A-Lot at school one night.  She has become quite an avid reader in the last year.  I often have to pull her nose out of a book. She recently spent a Sunday afternoon reading for 4+ hours, such a change from the girl I used to have to beg to get her reading time in each week.

A couple of Fridays ago, Aunt Tracee and the twins didn't have school so they came down to play. That night, the girls invited Sydney & Addie over for a sleepover.  They tried out some new culinary options they found in the Family Fun magazine.

Making mini strombolis

Uh-oh!!  We didn't hold the lid down tight enough when trying to make the blue raspberry slushies!

Soaking up these easy Friday evenings when all of my girls still want to hang out at home.  Wish I could freeze time.

My sweet girls ready for church one morning.  Braylee had gone early with Alex. 

That day in Sunday School, we talked about how God created all men in His image. We may look differently on the outside but we are really all the same inside.  We are all sinners in need of a Savior. 

That afternoon, the girls played in the sprinkler and Beilyn fell asleep in the sun. A view into the teenage years. :)

She can finally wear the 12 mo hat Mamaw bought her when we brought her home.

We are loving all of the sunshine! Playing outside is so good for Beilyn to burn off energy too! :)
