Thanks for moving here you guys!!!We love you!!

What a crazy day!

So, Just to let everyone know, Brooke is doing better. She had to go to the hospital yesterday for some not so fun test to make sure her bladder and Kidneys are ok. The found out that she has some reflux back up into her kidneys, so that basically means one of her valves is shutting all the way. The tech told us that they usually just keep them on antibiotics for a year and then re run the test to make sure everything has healed up. My little baby isn't supposed to have to go through all this! Thankfully dad was there because I was about to loose it. She was totally screaming her head off during the test, Poor baby. She feel asleep immediately after in my arms and took a crazy long nap. Then it was my turn... I had to go get an ultrasound to make sure everything was ok. I had had some problems early on but everything turned out. They found our new babies heartbeat and looks like we will be having a new arrival March 12, 2009!!! Yeah! After all this crazy, we were all beat and slept so good!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Brooke's 1 year old shots. She is getting such a personality. Its crazy how big she's gotten I can't believe she is already 1!!

Family Vacation

We took family vacation this year to Destin, Florida. We had a blast. the drive was kinda hard with Brooke. She did much better on the way back. The water was beautiful. I never want to swim in Galveston again. It makes you realize what a beach is supposed to look like.Anyway. I just started our blog for family and wanted to let everyone catch up with what has been going on in our life. We took our vacation in May. Brooke loves to eat the sand. She ate so much she started choking. That kinda freaked me out!!

Brooke's 1st Birthday!!

So I am a little crazy. But your first baby only turns one once! Right! We got this 18ft water slide and had a pretty nice party for her. Brooke was hilarious about the slide. Her dad took her down a few times and she was just cracking up. The water stayed on all day. Needless to say the grass was nice and green except a few spots died from to much water. We all had a blast!

Brooke's 1st 4-wheeler ride

Brooke loves her daddy. It was fun to see her riding with him on his 4-wheeler. She loved it.

Brooke's Cake-tastrophe

So, this weekend I was crazy. I told two of my friends I would make cake's for their showers. One a baby shower and one a couples shower. To make it easy on myself I decided to make the same basic cake in different colors. I spent all of Friday night baking the cakes and Saturday I decorated the couples shower cake for that night. It was great. Everything was beautiful and the cake turned out beautiful. Sunday was My good friend from high schools first baby girl's shower. I got up and started frosting the next cake. Brooke was just running around playing being your average crazy one year old so I decided I would start to decorate the bottom tier. She was in the kitchen and I realized she was being really quiet I go around the corner to see she had pulled the middle tier cake down and was totally digging in to it. Caught in the Act!!! The shower was at one and it was 9:45. I couldn't get mad. Brooke was so innocent and hilarious.It was pretty cute. But totally stressful next few hours making a new cake. Needless to say Brooke was taking a nap.Yeah!!
