Brooklyn's Three!

Her Birthday started out with Nate making oatmeal pancakes, which Brooklyn loves.


Uncle Haden and Auntie Char Char came and watched the kids for a couple hours. They blew bubbles, played with chalk, and had a great ol' time
The ice cream lady came through the neighborhood like usual only this time Brooklyn got to get a birthday treat!

Trent wanted a bite really bad
Brooklyn helping my mom and I make her cupcakes
Trent loves Papa

Shepherd, Marcus, and Lawson - the heavy hitters
Play ball! The kids had a blast and the parents and grandparents had even more fun watching them
Marcus, David and BRooklyn
Silly faces - the kids having pizza and watermellon
Shepherd, Marcus, Kase, Shae, Brooklyn, Lawson, Ryan, and Cami
Fishy cupcakes, and the best lemon cream cheese cake compliments of Charlotte.



To a sweet and kind little girl, Happy Birthday!
My little sweet tooth
Brooklyn got this doll for her birthday and Brooklyn slept with it and brought it to the table for Breakfast the next morning.
Brooklyn, Happy 3rd Birthday! You are loved unconditionally. I love the way you smile, the fact you love to hold babies, the way you tell Trentie boy its ok, that you love to read, love to jump, love sugar, love to make friends, your raspy voice, the way you love to help with the chores around the house, and that you still love to snuggle. Happy Birthday sweet girl!

I love this picture of Karen. God Bless America!
