Kite...Flying???

 Jackson got this kite from preschool in their "store." He loved it and couldn't wait to try it out.

 There wasn't as much wind as we were hoping so I just threw it in the air and he ran with everything he had and therefore it "flew."

 Of course Bradley had to take a try at it as well.

Chubby Squishy Cute!

 Brooklyn loves her bath time...it's so relaxing! She always gets this serious look in her face and slowly starts to zone out and enjoy.

Yep, bath time is so nice!

Show and Tell

Since before Brooklyn was born, Jackson has been dying to take his baby to preschool for show and tell. After 6 weeks I finally decided that she was big enough to handle a quick trip for show and tell. She was a hit and Jackson insisted on holding her in front of everyone. He was thrilled to show off his sister and told how he sat and watched her on my bed while I ran to get something and she fell asleep. He has been so pleased at how great of a babysitter he is, he's so sweet. While we were leaving all the little girls wanted to give her a hug. She was a good sport and didn't fuss at all!

The Hair...

John and I were having fun one night and timed how long it took for Brookie's hair to stand on end from being wet down. We decided to take pics about every 2-5 min until her hair was dry.

Our little Brookie-Cookie and her beautiful hair a whole fifteen minutes after being completely wet down! What a fun little quirk!

I'm so glad when Daddy comes home...

John is finally out of the tax season crunch! Which means that the kids are all over Daddy any time he is home! John only got the chance to hold Brooklyn just a handful of times since she was born from all the long days and late nights. I was all to happy to actually see my cute baby in some else's arms.

 The boys begrudgingly let Daddy rest with the baby but kept real close the whole time, can you see that Jackson is sitting right next to John while Bradley is right at his feet. Family time is so much fun! So glad busy season is over and I am no longer a tax widow with 3 very small children!

 Let the honey-do list of projects begin!

Zoo!

 We (Mom, Lauren and kids and I) decided, along with everyone else in the valley, that it was finally warm enough to go to the zoo. The zoo is under construction to make a new African animals section and of course that was the first attraction the boys wanted to see... TRACTORS.

 Proof that Brooklyn was actually at the zoo for the first time.

 Lauren's youngest (9 mo.) is a mamma's girl so she stole a few seconds with Brookie while her daughter was occupied.

The boys loved the aquarium and stayed engrossed there for over half the time!

Wild HAIR!

3 weeks old

I was so excited to have a little girl to dress up and do her hair. Then Brooklyn came along and brought this wild hair of hers. It's so cute and definitely has a mind of it's own. It sticks up no matter how much I wet it down, I even tried baby oil once to see it if would settle down, but alas she is meant to sport this wild hair. It has become a very endearing part of her personality and now I wouldn't have it any other way.
