Brooke's 2nd Birthday & Maternity Pics

Here are some of her Birthday pics....I have quite a few shots but blogger is taking forever to load pics..so here are these for now. So hard to believe my baby will be two on Monday.










These were my Maternity pics with Brooke...Chris chose not to go...kinda of hurt my feelings, but I told him I was not begging him this time..if he did not want to go he did not have to...he chose not to...He hates to take pictures. I think they turned out pretty good to just be at a Portrait Studio.

Happy 6th Anniversary

Sunday was our 6th Wedding Anniversary. We went to dinner Saturday and to a movie to celebrate.

Oh No....NOT Barney!!!!!!

Well...when Chris and I had kids we decided that we did not like Barney and we would never introduce his show to any of our kids.....but, at Daycare they watch him as well as others in the afternoon. The other night I was playing Nursery Rhymes on my laptop and you could tell that Barney was singing in one of them but it never showed him...so Brooke starts yelling "Eeyore, mommy...Eeyore sing" I said Baby Eeyore(from Winnie the Pooh) is not singing...she keeps saying it....so I pull up Barney and I said who is this...she starts jumping up and down squealing and pointing...Eeyore, Mommy Eeyore and since then she wants to see Eeyore sing...we keep correcting her that his name is Barney...mainly b/c we feel bad for Eeyore...haha. With the excitement that it clearly brings her and not to mention hearing her sing I love you...you love me is so darn cute...we broke down and bought a 5.00 DVD at Wal-mart. Here are pics of intently watching and videos of her too. I swear never to say never again!

Mother's Day Weekend

Happy 63rd Birthday Pop-Paw....Daddy shared his birthday with Mothers's day this year.






Happy Mother's Day Gam-Maw....aka Mam-Maw....Brooke can't say her "g's" to well yet....we got her a digital camera for Mother's / Birthday gift...she just a laptop for Christmas so we are slowly moving her into the digital age....the tears are b/c she likes it!!






Happy Mother's Day Gammy...we got her Jammies and a Coffee mug for her trip. She liked them.






What's wrong with this picture....It's Mother's Day and we did not take "One" picture of the mother...I always have to ask Chris to take my picture...which is why I never have any.




Brooke is my big helper...and one of her favorite things to do before we leave in the mornings or go somewhere is to put food in the dogs bowl and give them a cookie....she always gives them more than one so she usually takes a seat and gets comfortable...here she is Mother's Day morning feeding them cookies.






Saturday I cleaned out the spare bedroom...AKA Maggie's room...it has been basically a storage room. Chris went to Home Depot and got some lumber and floored the attic so we could store everything up there....a very hot day for him. 90 degree day and almost a 100% humidity and he was in the attic for 6 hours....needless to say he was dehydrated that night and the next day felt rotten...but we got it all done. While cleaning out the spare bedroom I came across a box of Mardi Gras beads and Brooke got in them and started putting them on...hence the pictures below.

Maggie's Bedding

I finally got Maggie's bedding in..it took forever for an Ebay auction...it took them 3 weeks to ship it but I did get it and its so cute. My friend Kristal had the picture made for Maggie....it matches perfect..you would never know it did not come with it. We got the crib on Monday and we are going to start getting her room together and get ready for this little one....July is literally around the corner.

Its Monday.....again!!

Ever noticed that Mondays get here quicker than they should....the week drags by and the weekends fly by...just not fair!! We had another packed weekend...seems to be the case this time of year...and May is even busier b/c it is My Dads birthday on the 10th...also Mothers Day, My 6th Wedding Anniversary on the 17th, Brooke's 2nd birthday on the 25th, My Mom's Birthday on the 30th..also sometime during the end of the month my Baby brother graduates from College so proud of him...busy busy....but all very picture worthy so I am sure I will have a bunch of post. This weekend we did stuff around the house Saturday...even though I really can't remember what and then yesterday was my Nieces First Communion....that took the whole day b/c we live about 35 min away with traffic and the ceremony was at least 1 and 45 min and then we went to eat and then home...so it is Monday again...and I can't wait until the weekend.



Pappy & Brooke...and picture of Brooke showing me she was mad b/c I made her get back in the stroller so we could leave....If there was ever in doubt that we have hit the terrible twos they are gone after this week.






My Niece Victoria on her First Communion, some pics of Chris with all our Nieces and Nephew and one of her and her Parents.









Our Bargain on Craigslist..we got it for $15....I wish a bit bigger but Brooke loves it...she will go up and down a million times....and being the true daredevil that she is, she is already climbing up the slide!!

Busy Busy Weekend!!

Just another cute video....our Entertainment....Brooke...she calls ring a round the Rosy..Ashes Ashes, she decides to play with her babies and gets a little dizzy!!



Our friends Jason & Wendy's wedding...it was a 100% chance of rain Saturday and rained all day but it still was a beautiful wedding.








We had the Relay for Life Friday night...Brooke was all over and had a good time. I organized a team for my work and we raised about 350.00.
