Brooksisms

"Mom, wouldn't it be cool it Justin Beiber was my big brother?"

"Mom, PLEASE tell me we're not going to the fabric store!"

His show and tell wouldn't fit into his backpack so he told me "We need to get some GLAD forceflex!"

I was asking Brooks what he wanted Breakfast and he says "How many calories are in oatmeal?" (He has been listening to my Mom ha)

"My bike speaks spanish!"

He wanted to use our toothpaste instead of his because "it fights cavities for 7 hours!"

Brooks, what's 1/2 of 5? "Fi.." You're right :) That is half of five!

He told me that before he graduates pre-school he needs to ask Gracie to Marry him when they get big. They are going to kiss and have two kids one boy and one girl ( Rhino & Ryder) :)

He came in the house crying a little and talking to himself. I heard him say "I'm so ashamed of myself" :( I asked him what he was so sad about "I'm so ashamed of myself, I killed a potato bug" (He accidentally smashed it with a shovel that he was trying to pick it up with)

"I need more attention!"

"I wish that I could go up in the sky and plant some candy and then it would rain candy. And it would rain once a day

he heard an ad on the radio that said, kids get in free... He says "Hear that, I get in free. That means I can just go by myself.

"Ew this one tastes like cafe rio" (we were eating jelly beans)

"I'm not going to discuss this right now"

On a walk: remember when summer met us right here (as if we found summertime in that exact spot before)

"is this my baby life?" (when the show teen mom came on tv)

"I'm gonna go outside and practice my skills"

I had gotten Brooks some nice dress shoes for my Grandpas funeral and when I put then on him he said "

Seriously mom, high heels!?"

"I didn't go to karate but I still know it"

I thought I'd throw in some pics of the kiddos too ;)

Dandelions

I decided that we needed to get some new pictures for our walls! As I was driving home from the store the other day, I passed a field that was FULL of dandelions! I thought it would be perfect for a little photo shoot with the kiddos, turns out I was right :) I blew up my faves and put them up. I'm saving for some really cute frames but this will have to do for now :) Now if only I could get the family pictures done!!

The Year Blew By!!

It's hard to believe that our precious little baby has turned one!! She has really come into her sweet little personality! Her favorite things are Kitty cats!!, baby dolls, her stuffed puppy..Buckley, Violet(Her leapster doggy), Lights, FOOD! and trying on clothes. This is so funny, she will pick through the laundry until she finds something she likes and she will try her hardest to put it on! Most of the time it's just draped around her neck but she LOVES it! She loves anything sparkly ans is 100% girl!! It is funny how different little girls are, compared to our sweet Brooks, who is such a boy :) I can not even begin to express the joy she has brought into our lives! I am so blessed to have such a beautiful family :) I couldn't ask for more as a Mommy! This year really did blow by so quickly! So I decided to throw a Pinwheel party. Well after all of my planning and preparations, all the hours spent making pinwheels and banners and getting the balloons and streamers and compiling a few favorite photos of how she's grown this year.....It was the most blustery day!! The wind was whooshing around and none of my decorations would stay in place, my jars of candy were falling all over most of my balloons had popped the tablecloths and pinwheels were flying and nothing was going right :( Well I suppose I asked for it, it was after all a windmill party, we were celebrating the year BLOWING by. So I gave up on my plans and we layed out blankets and had a Big picnic! With a lot of help from my friends and family it turned out to be a success despite the strong wind! Paisley had a grand time and that is all that mattered! She got lots and lots of clothes! She got a pair of Silver Toms from my friends Jimmie and Steph and she loved them, her reaction was so cute! I'm sure she will be trying on all of her new outfits she acquired! She loved her cupcakes and she looked adorable in the dress I mad for her! A big thank you to everyone who came and helped out.Thanks for making Paisley's party a great one for her! Love you all
