Recap of last two months

Brooklyn bundled up to go play outside. Boy does she LOVE to be outside!
Brooklyn is a wonderful helper. She loves helping me cook. She helped me roll out the pizza dough and put on the pepperoni.

Roll um'

Nate and I were in the kitchen when we started hearing Brooklyn just jabbering away. We look over and she is sitting like this on the couch, with the phone between her ear and shoulder just talking away. Pretty funny.


I have been feeling pretty sick due to pregnancy and not motivated to put up Christmas decorations. Nate and Brooklyn decided to be my little elves, without me even asking, and put up some of the Christmas decorations. I will post the after pictures soon of how it all turned out. I finally got up to putting on the final touches and I must say while it isn't exactly how I would have done it, it looks very festive and warm and cozy.


I love, LOVE this picture of Hailey and Brooklyn. They are really funny together and while yes they take things from each other and still hit each other sometimes they love each other and find each other pretty funny!

Give Thanks to the Lord for He is good, His Love Endures Forever

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at the Whittington's. Fred's five brothers and sisters were all there, along with their kids and their kids. I can't remember the total but I believe there was around 50 some people there. Let's just say there was never a dull moment. I can't believe with all the pictures taken I do not have one of the whole group or the beautiful tables and food but somehow i missed out.
Nate and his dad putting together a toy!

Brooklyn loves the big kids. She just made herself at home on Caeden's lap.


Brooklyn was VERY excited at the airport. She loved looking at the planes. She would say "airplane" "airplane"
Blake going up the dirty hill in his Thanksgiving outfit. Gotta love it!


Brooklyn has decided that she can feed herself now, so lets just say it doesn't all get inside the mouth. She is getting pretty good though.

Brooklyn and Blake going down the hill. Brooklyn had grass stains on her tights. I am learning to let go of cleanliness.

Just one reason to be Thankful!

A visit from my Cousin Blake

Nate's brother, Todd, his wife Laurel and son Blake came to visit us back in October. We had tons of fun going to the pumpkin patch, park, university village and much more! Brooklyn, Hailey and Blake all wanted to sit on Uncle Nate's lap one night before bed. So sweet!

Blake and Brooklyn looking down stairs through the railings. They just giggled and laughed.

Blake getting his p-jammer's on! What a cute boy!

Brooklyn getting her p-jammers on. Tickle, tickle!


Brooklyn and Blake took turns pushing each other all over on the train. So much fun!
