This girl can dance!

(All ready to go. She was sure her teacher would tell her she was beautiful. She didn't)

Brooklyn went to dance class for the first time yesterday. She loved it! It was really fun to watch her frolic all over the place. She can't wait to go back next week! The glass made it hard to take pictures, but she is the one right by the teacher with her arms down.

Reunion #1

(This is how filthy dirty we were when we drove home. Hailey would just stand in the mud and stomp her feet!)

This weekend we enjoyed some time with the Burr family. It was all alot of fun! We camped at a neat place and it had awesome bathrooms. Automatic flush toilets and everything. We were living the high life. Our trip was cut short due to the fact it poured and poured and poured...which led to wet clothes and wet sleeping bags. Chris packed us up and brought us home. It was so much fun to see everyone. Chris loved playing horse shoes and I enjoyed resting while my kids played with their cousins!(Chris was actually really good at playing horse shoes and it was fun to watch!)

Birthday pictures!

Alright I have finally gotten the pictures put on the computer. Brooklyn had a great birthday. Waffles and ice cream for breakfast, a lunch date with Grandma, mac & cheese and sushi for dinner, and lots of family for cake and ice cream. We had fun and enjoyed every min. of the day. Thank you for all of the phone calls she felt very special! (Grandma Lori and Papa Blake)

I made Brooklyn a ladybug cake, if you are having a hard time using your imagination.

Brooklyn got ballet shoes and a new leotard. She will begin taking dance this month. Just getting in some practice!

Hailey was right there all day long to make sure she didn't miss out on anything.

Brooklyn is 3!

Brooks turned 3 yesterday and I am a slacker. Her birthday pictures are down stairs, but I'm to lazy to go get them. I do love her and more to come...

Some thoughts...

Last night I laid in bed needing to go to the bathroom and not very comfortable, and it hit me...I am going to have a baby. During the throwing up days you kind of forget that, because you are focused on staying alive! So yes I am going to be the mother of 3 children. One being a boy. That means no dress up clothes or fairy wings...we hope! So I am going to live up these next 20 weeks with our family of four, because I don't even want to think anymore about what this new baby will bring......and another thought every night Brooklyn and I watch Wheel of Fortune together and there is an I HOP commercial that comes on and she says, "Oh mom those look good, let's go make them!" Brooklyn is pretty sure I can make any type of food and anything else for that matter. If she only knew most of our meals were take out and I only pretend I can sew!

Dr. Appointments

Chris and I took all three of our children to the doctor! Brooklyn is now weighing 30 lbs. Hailey is up to 26! Our little baby brother now weighs 11 oz. He likes to try and suck his thumb. Everyone is growing well and are healthy. We have lots to be thankful for!

Oh we were happy!

We did it. We took the girls to Disneyland. I love that place and I couldn't wait to have my whole family there. We drove down with Mama Lori and Papa Blake. The girls did great in the car. On our way down we stopped at Bob's Big Boy's for dinner. Brooklyn was fascinated with Bob. We made it to our hotel and we were all able to fall asleep. Chris made me stay in bed until 7:00 before I was allowed to get up and shower. I was so excited! We had breakfast and then walked over to the park!

Brooklyn wore her Snow White dress all day, including her high heels.Once we were in we were ready to go! Brooklyn will tell you a couple of the rides made her nervous and she isn't kidding I have proof. She even rode the Matterhorn. We only got to see a few characters. You have to wait in lines for up to 2 hours to see them. And yes this mother did just that, so her daughter could see some princesses. Brooklyn I love you!Yes, Jasmine is mocking Hailey.

Our trip would not have been complete with out getting some goodies at Pooh's Corner.The girls had the time of their life and I have never smiled so much enjoying them enjoy themselves. Chris thanks for taking our family on a wonderful vacation. Both girls were asleep by the time we got to the car.
