Raylee's Princess/Wilderness Bday

I can't believe my little girl is finally 3 years old. Actually I feel like she should be turning 4 because I always seem to lump her and Bradock together in the age category (I get asked so much if her and Bradock are twins that I have started believing it myself). Not only does she look older than she is, but she definitely acts it sometimes too. I constantly have to remind myself that she IS younger. Raylee is one strong-willed little girl. She knows what she wants and she isn't going to let anyone get in the way of that. I hope this attitude helps her later in life in making good choices and going after big dreams. Raylee is also one of the most beautiful little girls I have ever seen...ok so I maybe a little biased, but there's not a day that goes by that she's not getting compliments from people for how pretty she is. Brett and I are going to be in big trouble when she is older...watch out boys, Dad has a bow and arrow:)

We are so blessed to have Raylee in our family and love her sassy attitude and big heart. Here are a few things Ray loves right now:
-Princesses
-Lipstick
-Dresses and dressing up
-High heels
-Playing in dirt
-Barbies
-Sleeping in...she is definitely not one you want to wake up because she is a big grump and can get super feisty if you do
-Singing
-Playing house
-Watching movies
-Loves not wearing shoes...any chance she gets she is chucking those bad boys
-Going camping
-Playing with Bradock...most of the time they get along and I love that they are best friends
-Snuggling with mom and dad

For her birthday we invited some of our fam up here to Payson to enjoy a fun Princess/Wilderness party. Grandma and Grandpa Flaherty, Grandma and Grandpa Kocherhans, Tanner, Kiley and her boys, the Clarksons, Mamaw and Papa Tindall and our friends the Youngs (who live just a few houses down from us and have become our good friends) came out to celebrate. We held the party at a fun creek area down Houston Mesa Rd. and had so much fun. We even have the Gonzalez boys begging to move to Payson. I don't think that will happen anytime soon, but I sure hope they will want to at least come and visit a lot. Raylee couldn't have been more excited about all her fun new presents. She is one lucky girl who has a ton of family that love her a lot!
