So I know that this is just a little bit late but lets just pretend that this post was posted on Brekken's actual birthday:)  

Six things we ♥ about Brekken:

-Brekken is our little sunshine, literally!!  When I found out I was pregnant with Brekken I was a little scared.  I had just had my first miscarriage one month before (at 12.5 weeks) and was still trying to cope with the loss of the baby.  I wasn't planning on becoming pregnant so soon after the miscarriage but Brekken (and my Heavenly Father) knew I needed him then at that point in my life.  I have always called Brekken my sunshine after my storm.  He has always had the ability to make me smile or laugh on even my very worst days.  Without fail he always knows when I need a pick-me-up, on days when my self worth has been low, without even knowing, Brekken will walk in and tell me how much he loves me, how beautiful I am, or just let me know that I matter.   

-Brekken has the talent and determination to be his best at everything he tries whether it is in sports, friendships, school, etc.  He has an inner drive to try his hardest!!!  He isn't afraid to try new things.  He has improved so much in everything that he has done this year.  

-He is a little (sometimes a lot) mischievous.  He is also the biggest goof ball!

-He loves his family unconditionally, especially his brothers and sister (he is often times their biggest advocate).  

-He loves to make new friends.  Whenever we go places Brekken can always make a friend, or two, or three before we leave.  He also loves to be with his cousins and is always telling them, "You know that cousins can be friends."

-He has an enormous heart and isn't afraid to let others know how he feels!!

We love you Brekken so much!!! We are forever grateful that you came into our lives when you did.  You light up our lives in more ways than you will ever know.  

Love, 

Mom & Dad

Brekken's Family Party!!!

On July 11th, Brekken's 6th birthday, we had our family party.  Brekken wanted a football themed party!!! Grandma and Grandpa Graff were kind enough to let us use their pool to beat the heat!!! After swimming, Brekken opened up his presents.  He got some really cool presents this year including; a new bike, lots of new school outfits, two pairs of shoes, an MP3 player, a football(of course), transformers, new swimming towel, books, money, remote control cars,a club penguin membership,  a golf putter with balls and a practice hole, and even more toys!!!! What a spoiled kid!!! After that we had root beer floats and cake!! We had a blast swimming and being with family!!!

After swimming, we went and ate at Texas Roadhouse where Brekken rode the horse!!!!  Thanks for such an awesome day Brek, we love you sooo much and more!!!!

Brekken's Friend Bowling B-Day Party!!

On Friday, July 10th (the day before the big day) Brekken had his friend party.  He decided this year he wanted to go bowling.  We took the kids up to Dixie Bowl, ate pizza, bowled, opened presents, sang, ate bowling cupcakes, and had a way fun time!!!

It was fun and the thing that Brekken thought was the coolest was that at the end they let all the people who attended the party sign a real bowling pin.  Brekken thought that that was so awesome!!!

It was sooo cute because Brekken has a little "girlfriend" Sydney and they were so cute the whole time.  He sat by her to eat and then we separated the teams into two boy teams and one girl team and the girls kicked their butt!!! (BTW Sydney is the cute little girl on the end with the blond hair:))

We had so much fun with Brekken and his friends.  I can't believe that my middle child is already six!!! Wow!!!

Happy 6th Birthday Brekken!!!!

We love you soooo much!!!!
