A Great Weekend!

We had a blast this weekend! Friday I got off early and took Crystal, Jeremy's sister-in-law home from the hospital. She had a beautiful baby girl, Lillian! She is so adorable!!! That night I got Taylor to watch Brookelyn-Grace. Brookelyn-Grace loves Taylor. Jeremy got BG to sleep though before we left because she has major separation anxiety from me. So then Jeremy and I went to the Elks. We had a blast! We hung out with my family, danced and cut up all night! I love hanging with me Memmer! Saturday Brookelyn-Grace and I spent the day together. I love mother daughter time! Then I met Keith and Toni & dropped her off. Toni got her the cutest P.C shirt (adorable)! Saturday night we went to Slick Lizard in Nauvoo to eat with the kiddies. Sunday we all went to moms to swim. The kids had a BLAST! Jackson, Owen, Jr and Blake were are all at the house so it was a kid kinda day at the pool! They all get a long so well! We stayed out at the pool from 11:30-6! The kids were exhausted! Brookelyn-Grace spent the day with Keith and Toni in Birmingham. They got her a super cute Minnie Mouse outfit, shoes & cell :) You could tell she had a great time! Sunday night was exhausting, especially being out in the sun all day. Jeremy cooked all of us super and then we called it a night. All in all this weekend was great! I just hate that I had to come to work today! Today has not been that bad though. It's actually slow! (which I LOVE)

Thursday's/Friday's 13!

So I started this on Thursday, but my computer at work went down so I'm finishing it up today. Here it is.... :)

1. I am so thankful for my wonderful life! I have everything that I have ever wanted & more!

2. Brookelyn-Grace is 13 months...Where has the time gone? My little Monkey Butt is growing up so fast! Seeing Crystal's little Lillian so gave me baby fever!!! (But maybe I can find someone else to have me another one because I'm not going through that again!) ha ha

3. Jeremy & I booked a trip to Destin FL for Jill's wedding. We thought we would just stay a little longer and make it our vacation together. ;)

I haft to get Brookelyn-Grace's doll house and rocker. Then the dinning room china cabinet and finish up decorating the laundry room and tidying up my closet! There is just no time in the week!

Wordless Wednesday!

Walking, Fits & the Drama! (haha)

Brookelyn-Grace is everywhere and into everything! She is not stop from the time we get home until bedtime! It is still so weird to see her walking everywhere! She just looks too little! She is also in this new phase where she is throwing fits! If she doesn't get her way she will kick those little feet so hard and throw her hands every which way! It was funny and cute the first couple of time, but now its just old! She does this a lot in the morings when I'm trying to get ready. She thinks she has to be attached to my hip 24/7, but I love it! What can I say I spoil her rotten! She can do no wrong in my eyes! ha ha. I will so pay for this later I'm sure!

In other news...Jasper is just filled with DRAMA! It seems like no one ever wants you to be happy..especially when there miserable! But I can promise you/guarantee you no matter how mean or bad you think you are or can be, I promise I can be even meaner 10 fold! I might look sweet, but lord look who my step-dad is!! (ha ha) So trust me I can be just as clever or even more...haha...It just amazes me because I just want to be happy...I mean is there anything wrong with that..I have done NOTHING wrong, but people cant let things go and believe that there is or there was more too things..its pretty simple..there wasn't..get over it..move on.. because there is nothing that can be said that will pull me away from this place that I am in now! I have never been treated like a Princess! I have never had someone do so much for me! It's amazing!!! There is nothing that I would change!!! NOTHING! I LOOOVEEE IT!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

WALKING!

I just thought I would tell everyone that Brookelyn-Grace is walking everywhere! It is so adorable, but It just doesn't seem like she should be walking!!! Anyway she will get to walking so fast and then try to turn around and see what I'm doing and then she falls, but she gets right back up and she's gone again!

I'm so proud!!! :)

TURNIGN ONE!

I can't believe that Brookelyn-Grace is one! She is just getting so big and growing up so fast! This year has flown by!!!! We went with the First Birthday theme, which turned out beautiful! She had such a great birthday! I bet there was at least 50 people that came! The house was packed out!!! She got some toys, but WOW at the clothes! I think she ended up with like 16 Marlee Mae's outfits and several other outfits! I think in total Meme and I counted nearly 35 outfits! Plus a bathing suit, stroller and real pearl ear rings (That her Meme & Grandpop got her plus TONS of clothes!) I can't believe my baby is already one.. :(

BG's 1st Beach Trip

I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!! :)

Brookelyn-Grace absolutely loved the beach! I was super excited about taking her out there and worried to death at how she would react. She is such a Princess and so independent! She doesn't like anything gross to touch her hands and if you try to help her she will throw a fit! So we head out there in her new red wagon that her Gran got her with the thing packed out! Meme got her a little baby pool so that she could stay cool on the beach. I took her to the water and she would kick at the waves. When you would try pulling her back she would force herself out further and further in the water. I wasn't paying attention to the waves and one popped right up in her face. It never fazed her at all. She wiped her eyes and continued to play. Then we stuck her under her umbrella in her pool with salt water in it. She would reach out of her pool and grab hand fulls of sand and hand it too me & Meme. She thought that was so funny! All of a sudden she grabbed the sand up and stuck a handful in her mouth & she loved it! I had to keep prying it out of her hands and telling her no. Then I gave her an unopened Pepsi and put it in her pool. I know weird, but she loves playing with random things ha ha. She would stick the Pepsi in the water and then put it up to her mouth, getting the salt water from the rim of the can. She would make the funniest faces and then do it again and again. It's so funny too because almost the whole time she was on the beach she wouldn't talk. When she's into something or concentrating shes so silent. She was quite for about an hour and a half, and then when she got it all figured out she started yapping ha ha. She is just like me! It's amazing at how much a like we really are. Her attitude, her temper, being independent and hating touching gross things. She may look just like Keith, but acts just like her Mommy! When I would take her into the indoor pool she would haft to walk up and down the steps and if you took her away from them she threw her a good fit. She was acting so bad about the steps that I actually had to take her out of the pool. When we would go out to dinner she would be just the sweetest little angel! She loves attention and if anyone laughs about anything she will laugh and thinks that they are laughing at her. It's so adorable! Lord she got so many compliments from people at the beach! She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
