It's a little shabby chic, just like you! Fixing up your nursery was so much fun.
Before you arrived, we were showered by some of my most precious friends...
Seriously, these girls are the best! Not to mention, loads of fun.....you will see one day!!
My pregnancy and delivery with you was just a BEAUTIFUL disaster.... You came in like a wrecking ball. Your daddy and I cried and prayed over you before you were even born. I know God has big things planned for you since he allowed you to make it into the world with all the pregnancy complications. As my daily routine was limited, daddy and your sisters were the best help ever. The day you were born, I didn't have time to feel anything other than excited..... You came just that quick!
This is our very last picture together as a family of four...... Can you tell which sister is just completely full of life and which one is stressing about hoping everything goes as planned?
Never in a million years would I ever want to do life without your daddy..... Just when you think he's the best , then realize he's even better that the best. Daddy took such good care of me and you both the first two weeks of your life . I pray so hard for you girls to have a husband to love and take care of you the way daddy does me! 
When I was building you in my mind (not that it mattered) I prayed for another little dark haired baby. You came out even more beautiful than expected, and you're just as beautiful as your sisters . Weighing a whopping 6lbs 10oz and 19 inches long....here you are..... Alive, well, and absolutely perfect .
Your sisters were just beaming with love and excitement after you arrived..... Their expressions are forever locked up in my heart.
Here are your two lifelong best friends.... They will aggravate, fight, and love you unconditionally . (Ps. Don't tell Braylee your deepest darkest secret just yet) she is in the process of busting Madi out with her current crush ..... 😂 if you haven't caught on just yet, Braylee is your funny, free spirited ,and carefree sister while Madi is gentle, loving and as tender hearted as they come.
Your first outing was to the beauty shop,of course, and we surprised Braylee on her field trip....here's her reaction.... She loves us, can you tell?
The look of love does not ever go unnoticed in our family ...... The way daddy looks at you just makes me fall in love all over again..... He loves all three of you girls and takes just as much care of you as I do..
Braylee insisted on staying one night with you in the hospital .....so at two days old you had your first sister sleep over ( nothing can keep Madisyn from missing school so she stayed at Gigi's ) 
I'm guessing after we got home, and your sisters tried staying up with you throughout the night to give daddy a break.....you realized how crazy we really are 
Ps. To pop.... You are his long haired hippie baby
He decided and prayed LONG and hard about this new side job he has decided to start... I was selfishly against it at first ..... I didn't want him to miss any extracurricular sports you girls did, but more importantly I fear for his safety .... As if his lineman 8-5 job is not dangerous enough he throws this on me, aaah. So I prayed about it and realized he's doing it for the well being of our growing family.... And honestly since Chanley thinks she has to have the steak of formula we will need the extra money .....shoooo .
Your facial expressions can really do a number on you..... You could possibly be the child of Elvis .
Ps. To pop.... You are his long haired hippie babyAfter we got home, pawpaw Tim came to visit us.....Let me just tell you how wonderful our God is....in these pictures we just found out he had cancer.... 2 weeks later he is cancer free with no treatment other than surgery to remove a portion of his lung!!!!! We prayed hard for him to be healed and Jesus answered our prayers.
Let me just say..... I can barely remember what happens the day before anymore..... My mind is completely bogged down with making sure each one of my little nuggets are taken care of.... My mind never stops to rest. My friendships have been far and few but I'm slowly finding my routine to include it all....
Daddy has realized he will never be able to afford four girls.....so here you go
Life goes on .....and you're not growing like a weed......
See, the last couple of weeks have been some of the hardest weeks of our parenting lives. You have been so sick... As a parent, the worst thing is to sit helplessly and watch your baby hurt. Due to milk allergy, our lives were turned upside down for a minute ..... All the throwing up and cries of pain has been heartbreaking.... Hopefully we are on the uphill side of this and you will now start growing like a healthy baby. Daddy and I spent many of sleepless nights praying and crying when you would cry. All in all, you are now a happy baby with one of the cutest little dimples I've ever seen 
Your first day of daycare came fast..... I missed you like crazy but honestly Braylee took it worse than I did....she was so nervous about you being away from us. She mothers you just like I do so get ready sister.
Here you are admiring your handsome daddy..... Not that I blame you or anything ! This is the most precious picture ever! We love Jeffrey !
Next...... Braylee, I can't even begin to express what a joy you are..... You are still the funniest child alive ...... Everything you do, you put your entire heart into it...... Your first year of school and you have yet to have a bad day.... You simply just love life ....and make it extremely hard to parent when you're such a clown.... You still have the biggest heart and bubbly personality..... You're just a pocket full of sunshine 
Here you are getting ready to take kindergarten graduation pics
Why in the world I thought I could send you to school dressed like a little belle is beyond me...You went to school like this
And came out of school like this
Those are not your clothes Braylee ...... Only you can let your dress fall in the toilet and be perfectly fine with it..
I pray that you never lose your sense of humor..... I love your big blue,sometimes green, little chiseled tooth self so much. You never mind helping do anything your asked to do.
Some of your favorite things are still shaking your little ghetto booty, cheering, and singing .....I'm determined to make you like ball too ( I pray hard for this) !
To my child who has exceeded any expectations I've ever had of you ......you have excelled in what was your biggest fear last year and made cheer this year.....I can not begin to describe how happy you have made me and daddy.....you never gave up and pushed yourself harder than you've ever been pushed.... You have become an example to others whether you know it or not. I never in a million years thought I would be a cheer mom.... I wouldn't trade it for anything , and you obviously have a proud cheer dad too
You're my brown eyed girl ( can't you hear me singing that to you now)
You're my brown eyed girl ( can't you hear me singing that to you now)
