Dear Brooklyn,
















On Monday you turned six!  How did that happen so fast?  You are very mature for your age, too.  You love to help me with Breaker, the dishes, pulling weeds (your personal favorite), taking out the trash, sweeping the kitchen, the list could go on and on!  So much so that when Grammy had Yolanda come clean our house when Breaker was born, you were a little offended.  You told me to tell her not to come back because you could do it without me.  Heavenly Father knew what he was doing when he sent you to me first.  You are obedient, responsible, you strive to do good always and have the biggest heart I know.  In short, you are the perfect example for your siblings to follow.

You are an Animal LOVER, you especially love bunnies and doggies and kitties.  You are constantly memorizing phone numbers from TV commercials advertising that pets need homes.  Your favorite being the one that Sarah McLachlan sings "In the arms of an angel" while you cry and tell me we can rescue all those animals, even the ones with three legs if we had our own home right now and weren't renting (you can blame that excuse on your Dad!).  While you and Brielle do have your moments not getting along you still are very protective of her.  I heard you crying the other night while you were in bed because Brielle went to sleep with her pillow over her face and you were worried that she would stop breathing.

You are eager to learn and Whitney told Grandma that you are almost reading at a second grade level.  You have your homework packet done by Tuesday when it isn't due till Friday, and you make sure to write in your journal and finish all your extra credit so you can pick two things from the treasure box, not just one.  You are outgoing and always eager to try new things.  Your favorite thing to do at the park is the monkey bars (that was mine, too) and the only two things you asked for your birthday was to 1. get your ears pierced and 2. to cut bangs, which only proves my point that you are growing up (too fast).

I love you, your Dad loves you, Brielle loves you and Breaker loves you!  Happy Birthday Brookey Poo!

Love, Mom
