Seven Months

My cute little one is getting so big.

This is how I would find her after naps and in the middle of the night. Usually screaming, not smiling. Obviously we had to take the bumpers out and lower the mattress.

(If you look at the middle picture up close you can see her two teeth)

Brookelyn graduated to a high chair. I thought she was getting big, but I was wrong. She looks tiny in her big chair.

This is what happens when Darren feeds Brookelyn. He has gotten much, much better but sometimes this still happens.

Here is a picture of Brookey at the beach. I like the skinny legs sticking out the bottom of the life jacket.

Update from Brookelyn's last post. We thought she was smart then, and now she is climbing the stairs.She crawled over to them like she did last time but this time she just went right up the stairs like she had been doing it for years. She shocked us, now we are really in deep trouble.

Time Out

So I went to the Time Out for Women on last Friday and Saturday with some of the girls from my ward. We had a great time. I left Brookelyn with Darren for the night. I didnt really feel that guilty for leaving her home, but after a few hours I felt guilty. But after calling Darren and realizing she was just fine, I felt much better. Then I was able to relax and have a good time. I think it was a good experience for all three of us. Darren did great with Brookelyn. I really appreciate him for taking her. Thanks Darrebear, I love you!

Thanks to the girls that I went with also for taking me out and making me have fun. Here is a picture of all of us at dinner afterwards. We are so cute!



We forgot a camera so this was taken with my phone. Good enough I say.

Big Big Trouble

Disclaimer: There are a few video clips. Please ignore the mommy talking and if the video is boring you can push stop.

Uh Oh!

Uh Oh, we are in trouble!

Uh Oh, we are in big big trouble!

Darren's Garden

The first week after we moved into our new house Darren decided he needed a garden. So here are some pictures of his happy little garden.

Notice the irrigation system, he puts the hose in one spot and it floods through the rest of the garden.

Squash and tomatoes.


This shows the little tomatoes coming out, along with Darren's pride and joy, a little watermelon.


And of course Darren's precious little orange tree.

All in all it is a good little garden and we have already enjoyed the peas.

Six Months

My little cutie pie is six months old. I can't believe how fast it has been. And especially how big she is getting.

She is starting to have the cutest little personality.


Just a new trick. Did I say she is so smart?


She was spoiled at her grandpa's house and she got biter biscuits for the first time. Oh what a mess!

Funny swing pictrures.


Quality time with her momma playing Guitar Hero.

Quality time with daddy, playing on the laptop (or just drooling in daddy's hair).

Crafty? What?

I was in Utah last week and my sister and I felt crafty. She has this cute box for her daughters hair things and it broke last time she came to see me so we thought we should make new ones. We made them for all of our sisters girls. (Yes Denise one is for you and Kayla) The best part is that they actually look really cute and they were easy to make.

Glasses

I got new glasses what do you think?

Before / After

(not a dramatization)

Not too different just something new and fun.

Oh and Happy Birthday to me!

Brookelyn likes to give kisses now. Here is a little video of her giving me kisses.
