First Day of PreSchool

Brooke was so excited about going to school today. When I dropped her off, there were no tears, just a "See ya later Mom!" When I picked her up, she told me that school was great and she couldn't wait to go back. I have to say I was a little teary-eyed when dropping my big girl off. She is growing up too fast.

like father, like daughter

Brooke had so much fun playing with Brock at Aunt Gina's that she didn't take a nap. I guess Daddy needed a nap too.

getting started early

you're under arrest Daddy

Brooke got a policeman costume for her birthday and decided that she needed to arrest Daddy.

I can write my name

Since Brooke saw that Reagan wrote her name in her birthday card, she wanted to practice writing her name. She did pretty good.

Happy Birthday Brooke and Jack

Thank you for everyone who came to celebrate
Brooke and Jack's party at the zoo. I know they both had a great time.

I love to read

Olivia gave Brooke a lot of books that she has grown out of and Aunt Laura read a few to her.

I am really a princess now

Mom Mom and Papa gave Brooke a beautiful costume fer her birthday. Of course, she had to put it on immediately in the restaurant.

chocolate cupcakes

At dinner, we celebrated Jack and Brooke's birthday. As you can see, Jack really enjoyed his cupcake.

I love Uncle Kyle

Jack really bonded with Kyle while we were hear.

bubbles, bubbles

Aunt Mary was so smart and brought bubbles for all the kids to play with (kids of all ages I should say). They loved it.

watermelon-no seeds allowed

Brooke made me get all the seeds out of her watermelon before she would eat it. The ironic thing...it was a seedless watermelon.

DeGray Lake-Fam Damily Reunion

For our family reunion, we went to DeGray Lake and the kids loved playing in the lake. Brooke got to ride on the pontoon boat and got to jump off into the lake, but unfortunately Yia Yia forgot to put the battery in her camera so we have no pictures.

arkansas...here we come (eventually)

On our way to the Fam Damily reunion, we stopped at the rest stop in Arkansas to let the kids get out and play on the playground.

what am I going to do

It's official...Jack is walking. He took his first few steps this morning and he has been getting better all day. Hopefully I can get it on video soon.

Dancing with the Wiggles

Joe took Brooke to see the Wiggles again this year and they had a great time again. Brooke said it was way better than last year.
