Happy Valentine's Day from the TOLBERTS! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, I'm a little late ha ha. I've been so lazy this weekend but busy at the same time if that makes any sense? Well Friday Keith and I got Meme to watch Brookelyn-Grace so we could go out for a bit and have some time to ourselves ;) It was so funny because we ended up at Sonny's Fast Track playing put, put ha ha. It was so funny because as soon as we got out there we started making bets. Who ever won got to sleep until 10 the next morning and whoever lost had to get up if Brookelyn-Grace woke up that night and then tend to her until 10. Ha ha we are so retarded! ha ha Well Keith won..ugh..I should have know. He is awesome at put, put ha ha. Then we bated in the batting cage. I have not swung a softball bat since 9th grade. It was fun, but weird. I use to tell Keith all the time that I wish I could find a softball league or something to play during the summer, but I seriously don't think I could do it again! Then we left and hit Wal-Mart to buy Brookelyn-Grace something for V-Day. We got her a cute pink bear and a random toy. (Like she needs another toy) Saturday Keith got me breakfast in bed, a dozen roses & Stargazer Lille's, and candy..(although I couldn't eat the candy..) Then we spent the day with Brookelyn-Grace just playing :) Keith worked on the house a little too..They finished up the plumbing so that's another thing out of the way..:) Then we decided to go out and last minute Teresa said she would watch Brookelyn-Grace :) (She's a life saver!) :) :) :) Well then Keith and I met Wes & Kayse at the Elks and we all hung out :) We had too much fun! Love hanging out with Kayse! Today....not so good...didn't realize that I had so much to drink...and needless to say...Keith ended up watching Brookelyn-Grace the majority of the day while I slept haha. All in all I have had a great weekend! :)

Brookelyn-Grace's Valentine's presents...Mr Hoppy from Grandpa, Toy & Princess Bear from Mommy & Dada & Valentine Bear from Meme

Thinking about Birthday's!

Today is such a lazy day. I can't wait to leave work and go home and play with Brookelyn-Grace! Plus.. House of Pane comes on tonight. I love that show!!! Didn't have time to post yesterday because work was crazy! I'm trying to post everyday if y'all noticed :) Okay everyone needs to watch the movie, "Why Did I get Married" by Tyler Perry. It is a great movie! Even Keith liked it! But anyway Brookelyn-Grace is learning so much! If we ever just randomly say "YAH" she will drop whatever she is playing with or doing and start clapping her hands together! If we sing the patty cake song she will clap along with us too! It is adorable! Also I make her stand up and I sing "I'm A Little Tea Pot" song and she gets so ticked. I'll make her a handle and spot and then tip her over it is so CUTE! She's also trying her hardest to walk! I will hold her up by her hands and she will try walking. Of course she gets tired fast and just plops back down ha ha. She is also holding on to her standing up toys really good. But you haft to watch her really close because at any moment she will fall. Wow, she is really growing up fast! She will be 8 months on the 27th of this month! I swear I know this is crazy but Keith and I have already been looking at birthday supplies! ha ha. I wanted to do a Princess birthday so bad, but she loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so much that I may base her 1st birthday around that. I searched the Internet yesterday and found some really cute stuff. I found a rental shop in Birmingham that rents out the real Mickey & Minnie Mouse costumes. So I'm going to rent them and hire someone to come in and meet the kids for pictures and to stay and entertain the kids for the entire party! How much fun would that be! Also the Mickey Mouse ears for the boys and Mickey Mouse ears with a bow in the middle like Minnie Mouse for the girls 8:) How cute will that look! Also I'm going to get GIGI to create me a 3 tier birthday cake pertaining to Mickey & Minnie Mouse! :) Also I looked at banners and Mickey & Minnie Mouse balloons! Also for the kids goody bags I would have everyone at the party t-shirts made that said Brookelyn-Grace's 1st Birthday Bash..maybe pink for girls and black for boys with something Minnie and Mickey Mouse on them :) My whole house will be in Minnie & Mickey mouse for her! (OMG I still have so many more ideas!) ha ha I thought it was funny last night Keith was telling me that when I get my mind on something I go crazy! & when I do something I do it BIG! Yes I am sure some of y'all are thinking..."Wow, It's her first birthday, she's not even going to remember her first birthday" Well.....It's not going to hurt you is it??? I am doing it because I want it to be the biggest birthday for her! She is turning 1 and I am so blessed and happy that God gave us such a beautiful gift that I want to celebrate it big! Because I CAN! So smile & get over it! ha ha

Mother & Daughter

Last night was the sweetest most precious moment I have ever had with Brookelyn-Grace! Keith and I are always being silly with her and if a music video or song comes on we will jump up with her and dance around the living room! haha She thinks it is so funny! Keith will act like he is twirling her and then dip her. It is so sweet! Well anyway Keith had ran to the store and some song came on so I got up and danced with her. She would just lay her head on my chest as I spun in little circles. All of a sudden Sara Evan's song, "I Could Not Ask For More" came on. That song is beautiful! I have heard it over a million times, but in that moment holding Brookelyn-Grace it actually gave meaning! I love that song and if there was ever a song that I could dedicate to her its most definitely that song! It was so sweet! At the end of the song I looked down at her and she had fallen a sleep. It was so beautiful that I had tears!!! So here are the words! I printed them out to put in her baby book so I could tell her about that song and our little moment together :) I love making memories with Brookelyn-Grace! I love her more than life! :)

Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smile just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything in me
These are the momentsI know heaven must exist
And these are the momentsI know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come trueYeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
Yeah

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for yeah
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had's come true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Oh, here with you here with me
No, I could not ask for moreThan this love you gave me
Cause it's all I've waited forAnd I could not ask for more
No, yeahNo, I could not ask for more

A Beautiful Sunday!

So we went to the park today! Brookelyn-Grace loved being outside and seeing the ducks! She kept looking at them like..."What in the world is that!" It was so funny! We had a great day though. We walked the track a couple of times and then fed the ducks like two things of bread! ha ha we got a little excited about the ducks! It was a great family outing! We've decided to do it every Sunday..if its warm...but today was beautiful!!! UPDATE...I talked to Tab and she sent Brookelyn-Grace's pictures in to some baby agents in Tennessee. Tab is now waiting to hear something back :) Tab's got the connections! :) So maybe it want be long until were driving down there for a meeting!!! :) Oh and Brookelyn-Grace is about to start modeling clothes for Luv-Me-Knot Boutique. I loved it because she contacted me and told me that Brookelyn-Grace was beautiful and so camera happy and thought she would do great modeling her clothes! So you know I'm going to be spreading the word making everyone go to her website and buy something! ha ha. She's my little super star! :) Brookelyn-Grace is such a little model! She loves the camera! She acts so silly and shows out anytime I pull out my camera or video camera! :) I think she is perfect!... just like I'm sure everyone feels the same about there kids too! :) I'm just a very, very, very bias mother! :)

Monday...ugh!

Brookelyn-Grace and I were all alone this weekend. Keith was doing work on the side the entire weekend, which left plenty of mother, mother & daughter bonding time. :) Saturday Brookelyn-Grace and I just hung around the house the entire day. Neither one of us got out of our p.j's :) We just sat at home played and watched Disney movies until Dada got home :) Then we just did the same thing again ha ha. On Sunday me, Meme and Brookelyn-Grace went car seat shopping and got a NICE car seat. It's leather, and it was pretty expensive! I might haft to take it back though because it doesn't recline a lot and I'm worried that when she goes to sleep that it want be comfortable for her head? I guess we will see when I pick her up today. I have really missed her a lot today! I wish that I could just leave work right now and go get her! :) Her sitters is closed Friday so I thought YES! I'm going to haft to stay off from work Friday and keep Brookelyn-Grace at home all day! Then I realized that Friday I haft to be in Athens from 1-5 ugh!!!!! Another downer..I'm turning 23 Wednesday, which means just another year older! I use to look forward to my birthday ALL THE TIME..but I guess once you hit that 21 mark you really don't care anymore ha ha. The only thing that I'm excited about is letting Brookelyn-Grace blow out the candles! :) She has this new thing where she puts her lips together and blows and makes noise. I do it to her lips all the time and it tickles them so bad haha. She just started doing it over the weekend. :) Out of the entire day she is probably doing that for at least 10 hrs ha ha. She spits everywhere when she does it ha ha. It is just precious! Awe I miss my Monkey Butt!
