Happy Birthday Brooklyn!

Brooklyn is 3 years old!!!!

She had to have a Barbie cake of course!

I can't believe Brooklyn is 3 already!!!! Her Birthday was Thursday June, 26th and she had a great day! We had a little family B-day party on Sunday with her grandparents and cousins and yesterday we went to Kangaroo Zoo and McDonald's for her special day. She was thrilled with all the barbies, polly pockets, and girly things she got for her B-day. Oh what it would be like to be 3 again!

This seems like just yesterday that she was my little baby. What a cutie! She has always been such a good girl. She is so sweet, sensitive, and smart. She is my little helper (most of the time) and she has always been a fabulous sleeper. YEAH!!!! She is a little shy and quiet at first, but once she gets to know you she has a wacky sense of humor and likes to show off. She is such a good girl and I feel so lucky to be her mom! I love you Brooks!

Jalinda said...: Happy Birthday Brooks! When did you get so big??! No, seriously Jeanette, Brooklyn looks so old--she is definitely an adorable little girl now and not a baby anymore. She's grown so much since we saw her at Christmas. I'm glad she had such a fun birthday! I was thinking maybe we could have a little birthday party for Brooklyn and Savannah when we get there in July. That way it wouldn't feel like we missed out on being there for her birthday.; June 27, 2008 at 8:56 PM

Some of my favorite things. . .

Vacations! Relaxing on any warm, sunny beach is my ideal spot.
A clean house that stays clean longer than 2 minutes. Is that really possible?
Trying a new recipe that actually turns out, tastes good, and that the whole family will eat. MIRACLE!
The Changing of the seasons. The first spring picnic in the park. The first summer day at the pool. The first drive to look at the leaves in the fall. And the first winter snowball fight.
The sound of my girls laughing and playing together and the sound of "Mommy I love you."
Finding a really good book that I can't put down for days or nights. (Twilight series anyone?)
Date nights with my hot hubbie. Especially if he plans it and arranges the babysitter.
Girls nights out. Catching up with girlfriends or sisters is a treasured experience.
Sleeping in on the weekends while Brandon gets up with the kids. What a great guy?
Feeling energized (more like sore) after a tough workout.
Finding a new cute outfit for a great price. Can you say bargain shopper?
Freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and any other baked goods.
