It's been a while...

Well... before I post any pictures from Easter, I have a little catching up to do. I really have no idea where to start because it has been quite a while since I have updated my blog. Brooklynn is 7 months old now and is just growing up so fast. She has been sitting up now for a while and is finally starting to move around a little bit. Any day now she'll be crawling and I'll get to chase 2 kids around the house. Tate is just as wild and crazy as ever and is growing up so fast too. He is quite the little talker and says the funniest things all the time. He definitely keeps us laughing! Well- here are a few pictures over the past month in no particular order. Notice how Brooklynn loves to open her mouth in just about every picture.

Ok so I had to post this picture because I can never get a picture of the both of them together and you can see why....
THE END

Just Having Fun!

Ok... looks like I'm a little behind on my blog so I have some catching up to do. Well, G-mo has been in Canada for the past couple weeks so I've been playing the single mom thing again. Lets just say Tate and Brooklynn definitely know how to keep me busy. Tate is such an active boy and loves to be outside riding his bike, quad, and razor. It is actually quite impressive how good he can ride everything for just turning 2. Brooklynn is almost 6 months old and is such a "Mama's Girl." If she had her way,  I would be holding her all day long. That may be why she isn't quite moving around a whole lot yet. Oh well... soon enough she'll be all over the place. Anyway,  here are some pictures from the past couple weeks. 

Tate loves to climb into Brooklynn's crib with her when she wakes up

Just being cute

Her feet are in her mouth all day long

MMMMM.... my first taste of a sucker

Posing for the camera

The past few nights Tate has been obsessed with having to put his tent on the couch. He is so funny!

Sweetest Little Girl!

Here are a few pictures of Brooklynn from the past couple weeks. It's hard to believe she is already 5 months old. She is the cutest little thing and happy most of the time... as long as Mommy is around! :)

Cute as can be!


1st day trying rice cereal


Not sure if she likes it

Happy Birthday Tate!

A couple weeks ago, Tate had his second birthday! He is such a big boy now! Well... at least he seems to think so. There is no telling what this kid is going to do. He has already given me a good taste of the terrible two's... lets just hope they don't last too long. But for the most part, he is the sweetest little boy in the world!!! I love him to death!

We started off the day with some Birthday pancakes!

Tate was struggling to blow out the candles... so thanks to Matix, the two of them were able to get the job done.

CHRISTMAS 2007

Well it took me a while to finally post some pictures from Christmas Day but better late than never...right?! Anyway, Christmas was such a blast this year because Tate is at the age where he is starting to understand things ... ok well kinda. He definately knew how to open presents this year and he LOVED it. As usual, it was an exciting, busy, and exausting day. Tate had so much fun going to all the grandparents' houses and opening up all his gifts. YES... he was quite the spoiled kid for one day. But he still tells me all the time, "SANTA SO NICE!"

Tate's Quad that "Pa & Noey" got him for Christmas. He LOVES it!

Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas Eve we went over to my grandparents' house. We had our annual Christmas Eve Dinner and program. For the program, all the little kids acted out the Nativity. Tate was the cutest little shepherd all dressed up in his boxing robe (Yes... that was the best thing I could come up with for him to wear). Well, he did so good keeping his costume on until right before he was supposed to make his acting debut. At least Trey pulled through... we were just one shepherd short!

Santa Came A Day Early!

Tate and Brooklynn were so good this year that Santa came a day early for them! Well, G-mo and I knew that Christmas Day was going to be such a busy day (visiting all the grandparents), so we made arrangements with Santa to make a special visit to our house on Christmas Eve Morning... Unfortunately, Brooklynn slept through the whole thing! There's always next year!

Tate couldn't wait to ride his new bike that Santa brought him
