5 Months and Such...

Well...I am behind again. Brooklyn turned 5 months on the 11th of November and I still haven't updated. I have tons to add and will start that soon...I promise! Basically, Brooklyn is growing and doing all sorts of amazing things every day. She is rolling over, trying to sit up, and she scootches around her play mat. She loves to dance...seriously...she dances to music! She is super happy and loves her food. Her favorites are apples, pears, bananas and carrots. She will deal with peas...but it is much more work for all involved. I love every second of her life...she is such a loveable little rolly polly! She and Katie are best buds. Katie talks to her in the car and says things like "Hey girl, we are almost home." Or "Hey girl, you want me to dance for you?" Most things start with "Hey girl" or "Hey Brookly" (this is Katie's nick name for her)...it is too cute! If Katie is in the room, you can bet that Brooklyn is looking at her...and SMILING!

They are both such a blessing...I promise to add pictures soon. We have been busy!

It's Time to Trick or Treat

We headed to Peyton and Julie's house for the big festivities. There was lots of fun had by all.

Mommy had to add this pic of Brooklyn and Mimi...Mimi rarely makes blog appearances but she is such a fun Mimi that this one had to make the blog...


Katie and Anna were pumped up to get some candy...

They were so cute making sure to say "Trick or Treat" at all of the houses and leaving with big old "Thank you" messages. We are pretty sure most door bells got a double ringing!

Time to see what we got! Believe me...they got plenty of candy!

And, who can resist this next pic...Sophia is so sweet with babies...she just loves Brooklyn. And, Brooklyn loves Sophia...especially when she gives her big messy Cheeto kisses!

Happy Halloween

Here's our little Minnie Mouse! She just had to have this costume!


Here's Snow White, Grumpy the Dwarf and Minnie...

Snow White and Aunt Vickie...

The crew (minus Nick): Dani the candy corn witch, Anna aka Ariel, Austin the military dude, Katie, Jack the Mack Daddy, Brooklyn and Sophia the witch.

Two little ladies swinging before the big trick or treat festivities...


Halloween Day at School

Brooklyn and Kaitlyn had Halloween Day at school on Friday. Brooklyn wore her Halloween gear, while Katie wore her Hannah Montana outfit...there was no way I was letting her wear her real outfit on party day! Those kids are so messy with cake and candy!

Here's Brooklyn with the big witch!

Here's Katie striking a pose...

And the sisters...Brooklyn was done by this point!

Ren Fest

We had a blast at the Ren Fest this year. Actually, I think Katie had the most fun!

Here she is with Diva on the carousel...


And, with yet another face paint...

And, here she is with Gringo and her fairy wings...

And, here are Brooklyn and Aunt Nikki enjoying their first bottle together...


Pumpkins

Katie and I had fun painting some pumpkins. Here is the little pumpkin that I did for the girls...


Katie loved painting the pumpkins...even though they mostly turned out brown and black.

And, these two little pumpkins were watching the UT game with their daddy...he loves those Horns!
