One Colorful Room!






After 5 years of praying and many many fertility visits God granted us a little girl, Brooklyn Kay. My dear friend Tammy found this sign when I first got pregnant with Brooklyn, she bought a boy one and a girl one, since we didn't find out the sex of the baby. We had my baby shower after Brooklyn was born and she surprised me with this very fitting sign...This is Brooklyn's room which many people have poured love into.




The bed I found ($20) while at a garage sale with Bri and Kim. It was ugly wood, but well made. Bri started painting it for Brooklyn, then she got pregnant so her dad Bill finished it for us. I love it and it looks so cute in her room. Now if I could just paint the walls, someday.








Nate's grandmother is a master quilter and has taught me some of her skills. She patiently taught me as we made this quilt together for Brooklyn. I think it is PERFECT and love all the colors, I love color!





















Bri painted and gave this adorable chair to Brooklyn for her 2nd birthday, fits perfect!




















You can't see the chandelier very well but got it at Funky Junk and it looks great in the room!


















Big cozy chair that one day I will have recovered in some wonderful fabric! but the blue works quite well for now.

















The little girl we sewed onto the quilt, so darling. Nate's grandma made a wall hanging to match which I plan to get a great chunky white frame to put around it someday. Keeping my eyes out..










Brooklyn loves her room. I want to make a bed skirt for the bed too. Lots of work to do, better get started one of these days



















She loves her room!

January Randomness




Brooklyn likes to copy Trent and sit in a bouncer and chew on stuffed animals. The dolly she has was made by her Great Grandma.








Brooklyn loves to swim and wear swimming goggles. Our bath tub serves as her swimming
pool.



They love taking baths together



Cheese!!!!!!!!! Jam face!



Trenton's baby dedication at church.







Taking a bath in the sink together. We were giving Trent a bath in the laundry room sink and Brooklyn wanted to join him, they had a blast








Trent loves balls




Brooklyn loves to help feed Trent and no matter what it is he will open his mouth for her. She is probably the only one who can get him to eat peas.








Our basketball team hosted an australian team and one of their mothers stayed with us. Jan was such a blast and the kids loved her. We learned a lot about life in Australia and made a great friend.







Making a tent!











Playing with his stuffed animals










Brooklyn likes Trent to play with her so she had us cover them both in pillows









Going outside to brave the cold


















Brooklyn taking care of Trent









Lots of love

Golfing at Black Horse


Brooklyn and I went on a golf cart ride from Grandma and Grandpa's house to the golf course to watch Nate and Fred play a couple holes that you can see from the street. It was Christmas Eve and there wasn't alot of golfers out so Nate took Brooklyn to golf the last 9 holes with them. She had so much fun!














She wore her U.S. Open hat that her grandparents got for her!
