HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKLYN!!

Thank Sylvia for the wonderful idea on the cake.

Brooklyn loved her cake. By the time she was done she was covered in frosting.

Happy Birthday Brooklyn!!

Talking on the phone

• Every time we go to Grandma's house Brooklyn always finds the purse and cell phone. Then for the next 30 minutes she holds the phone to her ear and talks to Daddy.

HUNTING / CAMPING

Camping one of my least favorite things to do. After this weekend it is still on the bottom of my list. On the flip side my husband and my daughter had a great time so I guess there is something wrong with me. (my husband told me to write that.) So, if you can tell my husband shot his elk and I still don't understand what's good and exciting about it. I drove around and looked with him I even got out of my truck and hiked around with Brooklyn looking for the elk. Help!! I still don't understand what is so great about hunting and killing a beautiful animal. I guess the one thing that I have leaned from the 6 years of being married is that I will never fully understand my husband but I love him anyways.

There is my husband's elk.
Please don't look to close. Yes, I know that her face is covered in dirt but look around there is dirt everywhere.
Dad and Brooklyn loving each other after a long day of hunting.
We rented a camper and had loads of fun.

Thank haven for trucks. Yes, I took my truck camping and had loads of fun digging. If you can tell it is covered in dirt. Now I know why my husband bought me a truck instead of the suv I asked for.

Walking

Brooklyn is walking!!

Brooklyn is 10 1/2 months old and is now walking. Good thing she not running. I know that will come soon. She has became my little independent girl. She much rather feed herself and she thinks she can help you change her dipper (help). I didn't think they became independent this early I thought I had until she was 1 but boy was I wrong. She has learned to pluck the hair out of her fuzzy books and also don't hand her anything because she can open about anything with her teeth. We love you Brooklyn!!

Are we ready???

Brooklyn is trying to walk, or should I say Brooklyn is walking. She can now take up to 3-5 steps without holding on to your hand. I'm excited for this new step in her development but also scared for when she starts running from me. I can see it now setting in church and watching my daughter make a bee line for the stage. She is 10 months old and I still want her to be my little baby. She is always on the move just like her dad. I can't believe how fast time goes.

Happy birthday Carson!!! 1 year old
I think I will give Brooklyn a box for her birthday with how much she enjoys them.

Las Vegas

Last week we decide to go to Vegas to see my grandparents. We drove all the way there wich was more then 6 hours in the car. Brooklyn did so good. On the way back we decide that we would spend the night in Cedar City. We had to stop many times to fill up on natural gas. Witch took us longer to get to are destination but it only cost around $60 round trip on natural gas.

When we were in Las Vegas we went to the mall to the build a bear work shop. Here is Brooklyn building her own bear.

What would a bear do with out her birth certificate.
Here is the finished bear all dressed up in her brand new outfit that Grandma and Grandpa

bought her.

Where has the time gone?
