Flying Jelly Beans!

This weekend went by so fast! It was filled with just a little bit of everything! My little sister, Brooke and best friend had her Senior Prom Saturday night. We followed them in there cute, cute limo to Botanical Gardens where I took some beautiful pictures!!! Then after they headed to do their prom thing Keith, me, Brookelyn-Grace and Meme went to eat at Olive Garden. It was so nice cheating on my diet! ha ha Now back to that good ole fat free stuff! Then we headed to Old Navy to do some quick shopping since we had to be back for Brooke's Senior Walk-Out. I got Brookelyn-Grace two outfits, socks and a ball! She had to have that ball! ha ha Keith gave it to her while we were shopping and when we got ready to check out she would not let it go! So we bought it! ;) Then we took Keith and Brookelyn-Grace home while we went to Senior Walk-Out and took pictures. Brooke had a great time! I am so proud of her and extremely sad at the same time! I will bawl my eyes out at her Graduation!!!! It's not long from now. I hope this time for her goes so slow so she can enjoy her high school days longer!!!

Sunday Keith woke up and went fishing and I stayed in the bed with the baby and we slept late! Loved it! It was just what I needed to make for a great Sunday. Then when Keith got home we got the baby ready for pictures at Sha's. We had the best time watching Brookelyn-Grace get her pictures made! I think this is the best pictures Sha has ever taken of her. She was so funny!!! We started out taking her pictures in her Easter dress with her beautiful bow that Kyla made!!! ;) The pictures were great! We brought her monogrammed Easter basket and put the live Easter Bunny in it! It was adorable! Then we got some family pics, one's with her on her hands and knees with wings on her back, her holding on to a ladder standing, then her dressed as a Bunny eating a carrot and the best picture ever...included a mixing bowl with Jelly Beans in it. We sat her inside the bowl then let her put the bowl between her legs. She would grab those Jelly Beans and head for her mouth, and me and Keith would haft to hurry and get them. Brookelyn-Grace started getting so mad at us that she was grabbing those Jelly Beans faster than we could even get them away from her and throwing them all over the studio!!! It was so, so funny! Sha kept saying if we would have had a video camera that we would have won America's Most Funniest Video's! We had a great time! Then we headed up to Slick Lizard in Nauvoo and got some fat free food and headed home.

I love my Monkey Butt!

Mommy's Night OUT!

Last night was great!!! Keith watched Brookelyn-Grace so that I could have a mommy's night out :) Kayse and I went out to eat with my step-sister, Stacie and her friends at Perico's. We had so much fun! I really enjoyed getting to spend time with her! We haven't been able to do that in so long!!! I love her!!! :) Well my partner in crime, aka Kayse and I also had a blast! I love her! We so get along so good! I would seriously consider her to be my best friend!!! Anyway..I'm not going to go into details...but we had a BLAST! :) FUN, FUN, FUN!

Walking

Yesterday was great! ;) Meme, me and Brookelyn-Grace went walking through the neighborhood. Brookelyn-Grace loved it! Although she couldn't keep her eyes off of her Cheerios that she ate the entire time we walked! lol. She loves it outside! I can't wait for all the trips to the park to play and have picnics!!! ;) I love being a mommy!

Easter Basket

Yah! I finally got Brookelyn-Grace's Easter basket back from Sew Simple today! It is beautiful!!! I love it!!! I can't wait for her to get her pics done with Sha Sunday! She is going to look so cute in her Easter dress and with her Easter basket. I think were going to do some inside and out, and then use the wings as well! :) I love Sha's pics! Brookelyn-Grace always does so good with her! I wonder what she's going to think about that bunny! I think it will be so funny to see her reaction. You would laugh out loud if you saw how she looks at ducks and dogs! ha ha! I am so ready to leave work today and go get her! Me and MeMe are going to take her strolling around the neighborhood today after work! She loves being outside! Yesterday when we got home she stayed outside for at least an hour before we ever went in! She loves getting in her stroller out in the garage! She also had her first Cherrio yesterday! I went and bought some of the baby Cherrios from the grocery store yesterday and when we got home I kind of crushed up about 10 Cherrios and she ate every bit of them! She then cried for more. lol She ended up eating probally half on the container! lol She loved those things! I didnt haft to even crush them up, but I a freak! I'm so worried about her chocking!

Teeth & Giggling!

Brookelyn-Grace's first top tooth started coming in over the weekend. It has already completely broke through the skin! I am so excited! Now she has three! :) It's so funny looking though because the other one is no where in site! I love her little white teeth!!! Brookelyn-Grace is also just giggling like crazy! She talks to her toys and then dies out laughing at herself. I am almost in tears in the morning driving her to her sitters because she will be in that backseat just a yappen! Then she will laugh out loud! It is so funny! Nothing has ever made me laugh so hard in my life! :) She is just plum precious! I love that little Monkey Butt!

This weekend was crazy! Friday night Keith and I went out to the Elks Lodge with Adam & Shenna, Wes & Kasey, Steve & Megan, and Jamie Prince! I love those kids! Saturday we stayed at home all day! It was a nice lazy day! Sunday Keith went to clean the house, Brookelyn-Grace and I went to my aunt Donna-Lynn's birthday party at Cabo's, and then off to Bennett's Bridal Shower. We had a busy weekend!!!

Brookelyn-Grace's 1st Pageant!

Brookelyn-Grace had her first pageant Saturday! I was so nervous! She had not a care in the world! She loved wearing her dress so much that when it was over she cried because I took it off of her! She had so many people that came to see her!!! It was just so sweet! She seriously had her own section of people..ha ha Kyla came which I thought was so sweet and she brought Sadi, which is so adorable! Well She did great when I walked her out in front of everyone. She seemed a bit shy at first and then all of a sudden the shyness went away and she started smiling and clapping! It was just so precious! Well after we made our entrance we went in the back to wait on the other contestants. My little sister Kaitlynn was in it and she did great too! So then it was our turn to come back on stage...I was seriously about to pass out! ha ha I wanted her to win so bad...It's not that I really care about the pageant but I just wanted the sash and trophy's to put in her room...ha ha Anyway so we get up there and they start calling out all these awards..out of for awards she got two! :) She got Most Photogenic and Prettiest Eyes..Which is a given! :) Then were waiting and they say 2nd alternate...and they call out another girls name..so I look at Keith and my mom and you can tell that we are about to pass out! lol..then they say 1st alternate...and its the other girl...at that time me, Keith, and my mom are smiling so hard that our mouth is hurting! lol..Then they say and your QUEEN IS......BROOKELYN-GRACE TOLBERT! I was so excited! Everyone started clapping and then Brookelyn-Grace clapped for herself! lol..Then after I haft to fight Brookelyn-Grace to take off the dress we get in the car and I start to look at her score sheets....There were three categories; facial beauty/natural, Poise/Personality, Eye Contact/Fashion...The highest you could score was 1-10...She scored a 10.4, 10.3, 10.4....There comments were, "Cute as a button & beautiful dress" I loved it! I am still on cloud 9! :) Very proud parent! I was a nervous wreck the entire time though! I loved it, but it's not something I plan on doing a lot! She has one more April 4th. The only reason I'm actually doing that one is because I have already ordered her an outfit! It's a summer wear or Easter dress attire pageant. So that should be fun right? Stress, stress, stress! :)

STICKS COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL!

Heck yeah...I'm too pumped! Me and Keith are going to the Sticks Country Music Festival in Auburn April 17-18! The whole family is going :) DUH..were taking Brookelyn-Grace! Were gonna take a sitter with us to watch her at night in the hotel :) PUMPED!

Rubbing Ears!

Brookelyn-Grace is always rubbing her ears or pulling at them. We thought for a long time that she was having ear infections and we were constantly going back and forth to the Dr. Every time her Dr. would tell us that she just noticed her ears and she likes them. If she is going to sleep for a nap or its bedtime she has to always have a hold of those ears! It's so sweet because she will just rub them until she falls a sleep! Last night we were laying in bed and she reached up and held onto my ear. I was thinking that she was just trying to rip out my ear ring out, so I took them out and she did it again. She rubbed my ear lobe until she feel asleep. It was a little weird for me ha ha having my ear lobe rubbed but it was so sweet! I loved it! Also sometimes if she's not in the position to rub my ear she will grab hold of some of my hair and rub it in between her fingers. I love her so much! Everything she does is just so precious!!!

Oh yeah Brookelyn-Grace loved her new carseat!!!!!! YAHHHH!!!! :) She also can sleep in it too without her neck looking like its being dislocated!

Yah!!! The New Carseat!

Well this week has been slow other than Keith and I watching "Taken". It is the best action movie I have ever seen! We loved it! Well Meme got Brookelyn-Grace a swing :) She loves it! We try swinging in it everyday when we get home. Although it's been cold the past couple of days so that's put a damper on things. She loves being outside! She is going to be just like her daddy! Now me on the other hand I love the indoors! lol. I went to the Police Department yesterday to see my 2nd mom and get my car seat put in. I had a great time! I stayed for like 3 hrs talking about the good ole day's with Pat! lol..:) :) :) :) Well the officer was not there so I had to go back today to have him put my car seat it! He was great! He put that thing in there within minutes! You couldn't move that car seat if you wanted too! I'm so excited to go pick up Brookelyn-Grace today so we can try it out! :) Yah!!! I get excited about everything! lol Well this is gonna be short because its 4:23 and I leave at 4:30 and I am ready to go get my Monkey Butt! :) Yah! Grey's Anatomy comes on tonight!!!! :)

Easter Basket!

Yah! I bought Brookelyn-Grace an Easter basket today! It is so cute! Here it is! I ordered it from Pottery Barn! I love it! I didn't have it monogrammed though because I'm gonna take it to be monogrammed myself. I didn't like the script or color.
I cant wait to have her pics done!!! She is going to look so beautiful in her Easter dress with her basket! :) I can't wait to fix her up a cute Easter basket from the Easter Bunny too! I love Holidays! Can you tell? lol

The Weekend!

Well to start the weekend out Kayse & I went to have us some Margarittas Thursday night! We had fun! I love talking to her about everything! It's nice having someone you can relate too and talk to about stuff!!! Well Friday I had to drive to Athens for a test, ugh! I think I did good on it though. Probally a low B. Friday night Keith and I just sat at home and had a family night, which was very nice! I look foward to the weekends so much so we can have just us time! The weekdays are just so hectic that we really dont have time to just sit back, watch a movie and relax! Saturday Keith went fishing and me, mom and Brookelyn-Grace went to get her pageant dress altered! It is beautiful! I can't wait for her pageant Saturday!!! Then we headed to the mall. I got some cute shoes and I got Brookelyn-Grace an adorable outfit! After the Mommy and baby day out we headed home and dropped Brookelyn-Grace off with Nannie and Teressa and me and Keith went shopping for ourselfes! haha Then Sunday me, Keith and Brookelyn-Grace went out to swing :) She liked it outside but she didnt like that sun in her eyes at all! Well Keith didnt like the swing set that was out there so he decided to go to Wal-Mart and get her a baby swing and some sunglasses! She played all day outside and loved it!!! Then I had to go to Henriettas Closet and work. Omg it was horrible! I was so over all those clothes within minuites! That was a lot of work sorting through those clothes! I had a lot sell though! I cant wait to see how much money I got!!!! All in all we had a great weekend but it went by so fast! I am couting down until next weekend...pageant time! :)

My loves!

Brookelyn-Grace is doing so much here lately! She is already pulling up so good! Also if I have her sitting on lap and she gets excited she will jump up without any help! It's so cute! She is also most definitely a Mommy's baby! This morning around 5 a.m she started crying..of course wanting her Mommy..Keith got up with her. He tried getting her to go back to sleep for about five minutes and the whole time she was crying, kicking and reaching for me to get her! So I had to get up and as soon as I got her in my arms she passed out! She has to have her Mommy at all times when she's sleepy, hungry, and when she doesn't fell good. I love my little Monkey Butt! Her and Keith are seriously my whole world! I love them so much! I have never loved so much and so hard until I became a Mommy!!!! I love my family! :)

Movie, Snow, Pulling up & Scooting! A busy weekend!

Well this weekend was full of everything! Friday I had to work at Henrietta's closet :) Then Keith went and rented Fireproof and the Zohan. So Friday night our little family stayed in and watched Fireproof. I love it! I think that every couple should see this movie! It is a beautiful movie with so much meaning!!! Keith and I both agreed that by watching this movie that it helped our marriage! It doesn't matter if you have problems or not its a movie that every couple needs to see! I never cry during movies no matter how sad they are but this is a movie that really touched me! Keith even cried!!! He never cries! I have only seen Keith cry twice in 5 years and this makes 3! It is such a beautiful movie! I fill like after we watched this that it made me respect and appreciate Keith so much more and he agreed the same with me! Also the Zohan is retarded!! Funny parts, but stupid! The worst movie I have ever seen with Adam Sandler in it!

Saturday night Keith and I could not find a sitter for anything in this world! We were so bad because we had plans too with Kasey & Wes!!! So we ended up going to the Mall and buying Brookelyn-Grace a new book and some bath toys. We got her cute Minnie Mouse book and some baby ducks. She loved both of them! Also Brookelyn-Grace started scooting backwards!!!! She will lift up her arms and push herself backwards pulling her legs like their dead weight! It's so funny! lol Although she's not crawling she is already pulling up! If she is anyone lap she will grab your arms and pull herself up to a standing position and stand by herself for about 5-10 seconds with falling! Its amazing!!! I swear she will be walking before crawling!!! :)

Sunday we woke up to snow! Snow in March! Wow! We were so excited about Brookelyn-Grace getting to see it that we bundled her up and took her straight out! Of course we were only out there for a couple of seconds but I got some cute pics! She looked at that snow like "What is that" and when Keith tried getting her to touch it she jerked back her hands like "I'm not touching that" "I'm to good for snow!" lol So of course after we had breakfast Me, Keith and Sister all went out and had a snow ball fight! It was sooo much fun! Although I think I'm getting sick now! ugh! After the snowball fight we Me, Keith and Sister got ready and headed to the movies to see Madea Goes to Jail. It was soooo funny! We laughed and laughed! Medea is the BEST! That's another movie that I recommend! Ha ha We loved it! Well after the movie of course I had to go buy Brookelyn-Grace something! ha ha We stopped by Burk's Outlet to look at home stuff and I found some cute, cute P.J's for her nothing! So then we get home and all of a sudden she starts acting like she doesn't want anything to do with her bottle??? She's like rejecting her milk and bottle all together! She only wants her sippy cup! So I called Lorna & Tim last night and he said to just bring her in to see him today so I'm leaving work today at lunch and heading to see Tim at Urgent Care.
