Kemah!!






We went to Kemah Boardwalk today and Brooke had a Blast!! She kept shouting "Yee Haa!" and "giddy up!" on the Carousel. It was hard for Jared to get in the plane. She didn't want to leave. We will have to visit again soon because she gets to ride for free until she's two. Today was just one of those great all around fun filled family days. The ones that make you feel like your really enjoying your life. Brooke really has this scream that is totally ear piercing. Everyone always looks, I thought all little girls did that...Apparently not. When she's excited you know it! We love her!!

Cousins!!




I finally got a picture of The two newest cousins! Phoenix is 3 weeks younger than Caleb. She is so much smaller and lighter!! They are too cute! I love that they are so close together,It will be fun as they grow older!

Easter Outfits






So I am trying to catch up with all my pictures. I loved my kids in their Easter Outfits. I am loving being a mother of two. Hard sometimes but totally worth all the joy they bring me. Caleb is getting so cute. He is starting to get fat cheeks and fill out. He smiled for the first time not being gassy!! Brooke is saying more and more things and amazes me with how smart she is. Catches on to everything making mommy and daddy more aware of what comes our of our mouths. Caleb still eats every 2 hours so the nights are still rough but I'm getting used to it. Thankful for nap time!Brooke is starting to get a little frustrated with Caleb. She wants him to play, so she has tried.. well it looks like she is dumping him out of the swing. I have to keep my eyes on her!! We have a blast together, loving our family more and more!

Easter Egg Hunts!!











So this Easter we got our share of egg hunts. By the last one Brooke had it down pretty well. The eggs were a little difficult to find thanks to Uncle Jeremy. But everyone helped her out. Plus the last ones were real eggs which was a first. Pretty funny when she finally realized it and wanted to break them all and squish them. We had lots of fun hunting eggs with our family and friends. We had a total of 4 egg hunts.

Fun with Emma Claire





We got to have my Niece from Louisiana stay with us for almost a week. We had a blast! Emma Claire is 3 and 1/2 so it was fun for Brooke to have someone to play with. Hopefully that potty trained Emma Claire will rub off on Brooke. We went to the Children's museum and Chuckee Cheese's and definitely made some stops at McDonald's. The funniest part about them being together was how they communicated. Brooke can say some things but not a ton and Emma Claire of course can talk a bunch. I'm glad they didn't get sick of each other. It was fun to get to spend that much time with her. Thanks Sherri and Phil for letting us kidnap her for the week. We made a fire and roasted some marshmallows.Emma Claire managed to get quite a bit of the marshmallows in her hair. Yeah for cousins!

Jeremy's Home!!





So the day has finally arrived that Jared's little brother Jeremy gets home from his Mission.He got home March 22. Totally late post. He served in the Riverside California mission, Spanish speaking. Nice to have that language around here!! Maybe I can get some lessons!!Our Family grew quite a bit while he was gone. he left the March before Brooke was born and when he got back we had Brooke an Caleb. But, that didn't bother Brooke at all. She absolutly loves him. Especially when she gets to pull him around with her. So I'm a loser and didn't actually get pictures of my kids and Jeremy....Soon to come. These pictures are from before we went to go to his homecoming talk. So glad to have you back Jeremy!! We love you!
