Cornbellys

This was our first year going to Cornbellys and I think it's safe to say we'll be going back next year. Brookie would've stayed all night if we let her, but it was getting cold and we were hungry. I didn't realize how many pictures I took. We had a really fun family night. We went to Bajio's for dinner and then Purple Turtle for ice cream!!!
Silly Daddy!!

Little man just chilled the whole time, such a good baby!

She loved it so much, then she took Daddy thru it!
The slides were a big hit!!

1st Field Trip

Brooklyn had her very first field trip of the year with her preschool. I don't even know the name of the place they went too but she had a lot of fun. It had a corn maze which we didn't do so hot in, a place with little farm animals, a playground area that was a big hit for all the kids, a spook alley (wasn't really spooky, it was just dark and had big blow up things), and they were able to pick out pumpkins. It was fun for me to see the kids she plays with and talks about all the time.

Then it was time to pick out pumpkins!




She is love, love, LOVING preschool! She is learning so much and loves to come home and do homework! She has a major crush on one of the boys in her class. He is a major ladies man! We carpool with Eva, so it's funny to hear what they say on the way to school. They are always excited to see this boy. Lately Brookie only wants to wear her hair down, she freaks out if I put it up. Somedays we're running late so I have no choice but to pull it up into a pony tail. She is always curious to see if Eva's hair will be down like hers, and when it is they both get excited that their hair is down. Silly girls!! One day I was driving in the car with Brooklyn and she told me she wanted to kiss Ridge(boy in her class) like Cinderlla kisses the Prince. I said, no no no NO! We don't kiss boys until you're older and married like mommy and daddy. She thought about it for a minute and then said, oh. . .ok!

6 and 7 Months

Hudson is actually 7 months old but for journaling purposes I want to document what happened at 6 months.

This handsome boy at 6 months:
Weight: 18.65 lbs (62%)
Length: 27.13 in (65%)
Head: 17.5 in (62%)

I can finally say he is sleeping thru the night. That was the longest 6 months of my life. It is so nice to get a full nights rest of sleep!! He is still such a good baby, always smiling and happy!

This swing was given to Brooklyn on her 1st birthday from our friends Matt and Cassie. It's from Mexico and Brooklyn loved it was she was a baby and still does and now Hudson loves it.



He would sit her and swing all day if I let him. He just sits there while I push him, then run around with Brookie, then I come back to push him some more. Just content!

He just wants to move but absolutely hates his stomach. He likes to sit up and play with his toys, but is anxious to be able to follow his big sister around.





Here is the stud man at 7 months old with Daddy's hat on. At 7 months, Hudson is 19 + pounds. I took him to the doctor to find out he had his first ear infection AND sinus infection. The only reason I took him in was because he kept pulling at his ear. He seriously never cries so if it hadn't been for the ear pulling and constant runny nose I never would have known anything was wrong.

Brooklyn's 4th Birthday

Brookie had her first friend birthday party and I'd have to say it was a success. All the girls came dressed as their favorite princess and we went to the hair school my sister-in-law is going to and each girl got their hair, nails and makeup done. They all loved it!!

Brookie, Olivia, Eva, Lexi and Mia

They were watching girls get their hair washed.

Here are the princess all pretty and ready to party!!

We headed back to the house and did some fun crafts.

Then Brookie opened presents



Then she blew out her candles and they had cupcakes!!


On her actually birthday we went to lunch to Cafe Rio (she picked) with the family and that night Lane and I took her to a new place called Incredible Pizza. No, the pizza was not incredible. The food was just okay but they had a bunch of arcade games, miniature bowling and miniture golf which were both a big hit. Looks like I only got pictures of the bowling but that was probably her favorite.



I can't believe she is 4. She is such a big helper to me and has so much personality to her. We just love her! She even allowed Hudson to slobber on her!

Her first day of Preschool

Brooklyn has been dying to go to preschool. We live across the street from a school and during the school year she sits at the window and stares at them and always asks if she can go to school. I told her when she was 4 she could go. Her birthday is September 2nd so she misses the deadline by 1 day! So she will go to 2 years of preschool and then go to kindergarten when she is 6. I thought we would have no problem with her going to school since she always asked if she could go. Well. . .when we went to go meet her teacher she kind of freaked out and wouldn't leave my side. So on the way home I asked her if she wanted to go to school. She told me no, so I said we were going to take her backpack back and all the clothes back that we had bought her. She said ok mom, I won't freak out.

So here she is on her first day of preschool. She was so excited!!!


These were taken on our way to school. We turned on her favorite song, Teenage Dream by Katy Perry and jammed out the whole way there.



She was a little hesitant when we first go there. Kind of stuck to my leg for a minute but then walked right in and didn't even look back.
I went back 2 hours and 15 minutes later and she ran out to me and the first thing she said to me was, "Mom!! I didn't freak out!"
Here she is with her friend Eva!

Everyday I pick her up she tells me she LOVES school! It makes me so happy that she loves it so much! I drove away the first day and it kind of hit me that I have a child old enough to go to preschool! It's pretty crazy!
