the big 9!

Of course, December couldn't start without Brookie's birthday. She had a great birthday, and from her own mouth, " I LOVE my birthday being in the winter because when we go out to Denny's for dinner, I get to have hot chocolate with whip cream on top." So there you have it! She is a joy and we can't imagine life without her.




9 things about Brookie that you may or may not know:
1. The girl LOVES to read, she has read, Little Women, the American Girl series, half way through Little house on the Prairie (Farmer Boy is not quite as interesting as the other books!) tons of magic treehouse and pretty much anything she can get her hands on
2. She is a pack rat! She like to keep everything and stashes stuff all around her room
3. She wears size 12 pants, her legs are forever long
4. She is up to my shoulders now. I think she might get as tall as her aunt Mandy
5. She loves to get dressed up.
6. She loves to sing in the church choir, and comes with me EVERY sunday so she can sing.
7. She loves vegetables, even more than vegetables, RANCH dressing
8.She is a good friend
9. She is an awesome cook, she can even make Lasagna from scratch! Awesome I know, even better she loves it!
We love you our little Brookie!

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
