Pizza Time....

My little man absolutely loved making pizza. It wasn't just his first time making pizza, it was also my first time so I was just as excited as he was! He was okay with the cheese, but once he got to the pepperoni he began smashing them down...which was so funny. Enjoy a couple pics and yes the pizza did taste quite good!:)

Well...

Do you like my pony?:) Please enjoy my very first torture session...mommy gave me a tiny ponytail!!

Just me and the kids...

So, we attempted to take a small mommy-baby picture after church on Sunday....well, we got it eventually!!:)

Brooklyn at 10 mths.

The end of the month is fast approaching and I have yet to post the ten things I love about my little Brooke-ster....so here we go!
1. The way she walks all around the house.
2. How she follows me from room to room...even the room with a bath ;)!
3. The way she plays with her brother and is content...
4. The way she looks at me and is my little cuddle bug!
5. How she drinks out of a sippy cup ONLY now...what a BIG GIRL:)
6. The way I go to scoop her out of her car seat and she grins from ear-to-ear when she sees my face.
7. She is a FIGHTER and never backs down, her brother has met his match!
8. The way she climbs on the couch because she is soooo wobbly!
9. I love her love for all things Upside Down:)
10. The way she attempts to run for the door as soon as I walk through it after school each day...

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Yes, today is my dear mothers birthday...I won't disclose her youth but I will say Happy Birthday to a pretty cool mom. The kids also say "Happy B-Day Gi-Gi" we all love you dearly and wish that we could see you each and everyday. And thanks for coming to our house Saturday and not finding any dirt that you spoke of. We send you many oodles and oddles of love...Branson, Nadine, Brooklyn and Juice Man.

Brooklyn is walking!

Well, we are only days away (5 days to be exact) from posting all of my loves of Brooklyn in her 10th month and well, what do you know, she just decided to walk. Please enjoy this video documenting her very first steps!!

It's Official...My boy is two;)

Here are the pictures from his birthday party and riding his very first scooter around the neighborhood! It was a great day, we really had a fun time with the kids and everything I had planned didn't work out....It was the unplanned that was fun, like the impromptu birthday dance from a young party-goer and the sword fighting that broke-out between the boys! His theme was Cars, but we asked that people bring things he could play with outdoors. We came up with the Cars theme because everyday after school he breaks into a dead sprint to his room when we get home and says "Mommy I want to see Cars" (mommy iwansee cars). That movie has helped me prepare many meals, many thanks to the creators!
















Things I love about Branson at TWO!
1. He can communicate his needs without getting frustrated with me.
2. He can play alone and not tear my house apart.
3. He tells me out of the blue "Luv u mommy" and gives me a smooch.
4. He says "Please and Thank you"
5. When he sees mommy is tired he will sit with me and play with his truck.
6. He entertains Brooklyn when mommy is preparing dinner...plays cat and mouse with her which is beautiful!
7. Gives his sister so many kisses....he LOVES her.
8. Says "Daddy no-no" when daddy is being a bad boy!:)
9. Is learning some letters and starting to show interest in colors.
10. No terrible twos to be found! He has gone over that hump (cross my fingers) and now is cruising!

*Yes, mothers of 8 year olds, I am aware that he is going to go through other stages...but when the daycare provider was telling you daily "he was good, but..." and now is saying "Branson is doing a wonderful job, I am so proud of him, he is really listening well..." and many other fabulous accolades, we first time mothers tend to get excited! Don't burst my bubble:)
