My baby Brooke is turning 2!! I can't believe my baby girl is already 2! Brooke is the sweetest little girl, feisty, but sweet. here are my tope ten reason why I love my Brookie!

10. The way says Charly...cutest thing ever

9. Her big beautiful lips...most people would kill for them

8. Her kisses, they're so sweet.

7. The way she asks Andie if she's ok when she cries.

6. The concerned look she gets on her face when she has an owie.

5. She's such a good listener...most of the time ;)

4. She wants to help do everything.

3. She's SO independent and wants to prove that she doesn't

need anyone's help! And I admire that about her.

2. The way she sings to herself in bed at night in her sweet little voice.

1. She is SO full of life and love and I couldn't imagine my life without her!



I love you Brooke! Happy Birthday!

First day of Preschool!

So Andie had her first day of preschool this week and she LOVED it! She had such a blast and couldn't wait to go back, her teacher is so so sweet and Andie says that she is just lovely haha. It's kinda sad that she's already in preschool but its really nice as well, it gives me more one on one with the other princesses in the house :)

how cute is she?

Charly's Blessing

This last Sunday Shan was able to bless Charly. It's always such a great experience to do that I am so grateful that her daddy was able to give her a name and a blessing. She looked so beautiful. I made her blessing dress myself and I thought it turned out pretty cute. We kept it really small and simple this time, it was kind of nice that way, thanks to everyone who made it!

She's here!

Sorry it has taken me SO long to post about our sweet new arrival but my computer crashed and it has been a little difficult to get anything up. So as you can see Charly has arrived, she was born July 14 at 10:00 a.m. weighing 7 pounds 7 ounces and 19 inches long. She is such a sweet baby and we just can't get enough of her! We feel so blessed to have her in our home! There isn't too much more to report, Andie and Brooklyn are loving there new baby sister and can't get enough. Andie is getting ready to start soccer and preschool next month so we are way excited and hope everything goes well. Wish us luck! And I promise I will try to update soon!

Belly Update

It's been a long time since I posted a belly pic so here ya go. This was last week when I was 31 and a half weeks. Not too much longer to go (YAY!) Everything's been going pretty good, just getting way tired and uncomfortable, and the heat doesn't help much, 

but it will all be over soon right? 

Lucky

On monday night we went for a little walk, we usually always go the same way but I told Shan let's go somewhere new so we went down a different street. Shan saw something walking down by the sidewalk, he thought it was just a little bird but as it got closer I kept saying that has to be a little duck! And I was right! She was so cute and little and we had no idea where her mom was cause she was way far away from water and there weren't any ducks near by. Anyway long story short...well kind of, we decided to take her home with us just until she gets bigger so we can go release her. But she really is the cutest little thing ever and the kids just love her. We named her Lucky.

New Found Love!

Beads! Andie has a new love for anything that involves beads. She is constantly wanting to make bracelets for her, Brooke, and baby Charly. She is actually really good at making them too, she does a pretty good job remembering what order colors go in. Brooke on the other hand just likes to throw them everywhere, I can't tell you how many beads I have vacuumed up in the last week or so, but its been fun!
