Daddy's Little Snowmobiler

Proud Daddy

We bought this cute little snowmobiling outfit last October before we knew if we were having a girl or a boy. I promised Ben that if it was a girl she would wear it too, and we would just put a bow in her hair. She wore it last week - and good thing for the bow, or she would really look like a little boy. Still so cute though!!!

Visit from Grandpa Jake

My Dad was in town last week on business, and so Brooklyn got to spend some quality time with her Grandpa Jake.

For Aunt Erica

Here are some pictures of Brooklyn's cute new outfits from Aunt Erica. Thanks Aunt Erica!!!

ROCKTOBER!!!

I just had to post about the "Boys of October" - The Rockies!!! They just swept the Diamondbacks in the National League Championship and are on their way to the World Series (the first time in Colorado history)!!! If it can't be the Yankees, I am behind the Rockies!!! : )

Long Live the Cabbage Patch

Kisses for Trisha
Rolling over with Trisha
Holding on tight!!!

When we were up in Idaho, my sister Erica surprised Brooklyn with new outfits, a book, and her very own Cabbage Patch Kid. Her name is Trisha Jillian (how appropriate) and she has blue eyes and a headband just like Brooklyn. She is too cute. When we took her out of the box for Brooklyn, Brooklyn was SO excited. She started waving her arms all around and trying to "jump" out of the Bumbo to get her. We didn't think Brooklyn would care about her just yet, but we were so wrong. Brooklyn LOVES her! She holds her by her hair and gives her kisses all over, it is so cute. Now, I don't have to worry about her wanting Lena, she has her very own little Trisha. Thanks Aunt Erica (and Uncle Andy)!!!

So, I was tagged in an e-mail to do this. I decided to do it on my blog instead - does that count? I think so. So, I have to write 8 facts/habits about me. Feel free to skip it and go onto the next post, but who knows, you might be tagged by me.

1. I swear I have OCD. I am fanatic about making sure that we lock the door when we leave and that we make sure I unplugged my flat iron. Also, to make sure that our keys are hung up before we go to bed and not in the door at night. Normal you say? Have you ever had to turn around and go back to check? I have numerous times, and one time I was already to work.

2. I HAVE to sleep on the side of the bed farthest away from the door. I feel safer this way, or I did, until Ben told me that someone could break into the window easier. I might have to rethink this one.

3. I think I am trying to relive my high school days through television shows like - Newport Harbor, Laguna Beach, The Hills, and The Real World. I just can't get enough of them. : )

4. I HATE my head being underneath the covers. I am so claustrophobic and am worried that I won't be able to breathe. Ben LOVES to torture me with this.

5. Five things I could eat all day long - Twinkies, Diet Coke, 3 Musketeers, McDonald's breakfast burritos, and McDonald's cheeseburgers.

6. My favorite time of day is when Brooklyn comes and lays by me in the bed, and we sleep for a little longer together.

7. I wish that my birthday was in the summertime. Something about having your birthday and Christmas within four days of each other is not so fun. Maybe I will start celebrating it in June, on my half birthday.

8. I miss my days of working for the City of Idaho Falls, mowing all of the parks. I LOVED being so tan and being outside all day long. I also met and worked with Idaho Falls' finest, those of you from there, you know what I mean.

BREE and ERICA you have been tagged!!!

Sorry for the delay . . .
