Brooklyn's Birthday

Yay! She's 3! Brooklyn had a wonderful birthday. Her dad made her the best strawberries and cream cake and she loved her new presents. So did her sister...trouble. "Brooklyn, give me that baby doll! I'm a better mommy to that baby than you are!!! If you don't give me the baby, I'm going to spank you!" Oh, what a night!

Halloween pictures...finally

Halloween 2009--Mackenzie the "good" witch because bad witches have green faces, Brooklyn the Rag doll (a week later she saw Raggedy Ann in the store and said "look, it's Brooklyn") and Ava the cutest skunk in the world.

Pumpkin Harvest

Sweet Ride

Here's our new addition to the family. Abe bought me a van. I love it! Abe's leaping with joy too, of course. He just couldn't wait to get a van! Okay, I hope you can sense the sarcasm! Anyway, we need a good name for her. So send us your ideas. We're assuming she's a she. It seems to be the going trend in our family!

Glasses

We found out Mackenzie was farsighted. So she just got glasses. They are purple Ariel princess glasses. She picked them out.

Conversations with a 2 year old...

Okay, Brooklyn has really started talking lately. It's amazing to hear her little voice. She can get pretty demanding too. I hear "I want it now" and "I do it" all the time. Her prayers still only consist of 5 words: Father...day..food...Jesus...Amen. Even at bedtime, it's still the same. But, I'll take those 5 words over 10 minutes of whining anytime. Today, we had a situation that really wasn't very funny but I just had to laugh. Here's the set up:

I am sitting on my bed in our room when Brooklyn walks in chewing on something.

Me: Brooklyn, what are you eating?

and here is her response...

Brooklyn: Boogers!

I know, pretty disgusting.
