April

April was an absolutely CRAZY month!  We had things going on every single weekend.  We had so much fun though. We started out the month by making Easter treats with my mom, MiKell, Kaden and Kenadee.  My mom and I wanted to get together with them and do this since we were going to be out of town on Easter.  We made rice krispie treats and the kids had a lot of fun!  Grandpa even came up and visited for a minute.

Park with the Brunson's

We had a fun day at the park with Miika, Brandon and Easton.  Afterwards, we went to lunch at Winger's.

Brooklyn's Play Room

In January we changed our spare bedroom into a play room for Brooklyn and it's been so nice!  It's so nice to have all her toys in one place and not have to worry about them being all over the front room or her bedroom.  We also put a TV in there, so she loves to play in there while she watches "Mouse" or "Melmo" (Elmo).  I found her laying in front of the TV like this the other day, asleep.

Little Sicky :(

Poor girl was sick for a few days with the croup and an ear infection.  All she wanted to do was lay in either my bed or on the recliner in the living room and watch "Mouse" all day.  

Making Cupcakes

I've decided to do an Owl theme for Brooklyn's birthday party this year, and I found some cute owl cupcakes online that I wanted to try out, so I made some to practice.  Brooklyn loves to help me cook and bake.  She is such a little monkey and loves to stand up on the chairs and the counter.  I know I look like the worst mother in the world here, with my baby in her diaper, on top of the counter, holding a knife, but I promise I was standing right next to her the whole time! :)

We thought they turned out pretty cute.  I'm planning on making these along with some other things for her birthday party next month. 

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Brooklyn was a cute little leprechaun on St. Patty's Day

We tried to go have a nice dinner at Don Pedro's with Ben's mom and dad (I wish I would have taken pics there).  We were at the restaurant for a whole 10 minutes, when Brooklyn started screaming and crying to get out of her high chair and wanting to run around the restaurant.  We hadn't even ordered yet, and I knew we weren't going to have a very enjoyable dinner, so I left and ran her to my parent's house to play while we ate. The terrible two's have already begun!  I don't know what we're in for, but it's a good thing she's so cute, it sure gets her out of a lot of trouble!

My Cute Little Helper

Brookie loves to help mommy clean the house, but especially loves helping with the laundry.  She helps me put the clothes into the washer and dryer, and she always wants to help carry the laundry baskets around the house no matter how heavy they are.
