Our poor little girl took quite the fall from our front porch and couple of weeks ago which left her with a nice little banged up face!!

Too Cute!!

After She Got Her Cookie- She Couldn't Be Happier!!

When I Told Her She Could Have A Cookie

Thinking About The Cookie

Mad Cause I Told Her She Had To Take Her Medicine

Brooklynn is so dang funny!  I just sit and laugh at her all day- I took these pics a couple weeks ago cause I thought they were so funny.  It's prob bad of me but I couldn't help but laugh at how dramatic she was being.  I told her she had to take her medicine and she refused so she got in trouble and I made her go to her room.  She walked in and stood in the middle of her room and just started to scream! She did this for a couple minutes then I told her if she took her medicine she could have a cookie.  She immediately stopped crying and thought about it for a minute then smiled and took her medicine.  It's amazing what a little bribe and a cookie will do for a child!!

What Do Ya Think??

Don't mind Brooklynn's little face being covered up!

I was starting to get sick of my hair and decided to give it a little makeover- I cut and dyed it myself for only $8!  (hey beats spending $80 which is what it usually is) I'm not too sure about the bangs....they are already annoying me!  what so you think bad idea or no???

Happy Valentines Day!! (I know a little late)

This year was the  best Valentines Days I have ever had!  We didn't have any big plans or anything it was just a nice quiet evening at home.  (Sometimes those are the best nights!)  Bryce and I decided to just stay home instead of trying fight the crazy lines at the resturants. While Bryce went to support his young mens basketball game I made us a nice dinner and we just sat and enjoyed each other the whole night!  It was so nice to be able to spend a night together, forget about all the stresses of life and reconnect with eachother! (I don't know why we need a special day for this- it should be everyday- but it was a nice reminder to do it more often)  He surprised me with yummy sugar cookies, a new stock of diet coke, my favorite roses, a yummy box of chocolates, and some teeth whitening trays (I've been wanting to do them for a while now and he completely read my mind!)  He is the most perfect husband anyone could ever ask for!! He always knows what to do or say to make me feel like I'm the most amazing wife ever (even though I am so far from it!).  I love him with all my heart and I am so grateful for him and all his sacrifices and hard work he does for our family.  He is truly the man of my dreams and I just want to let him know how much I really do love him!!

Just Waking Up From A Nap (She Couldn't Be Happier)

Enjoying A Snack

I just thought I would post a few cute pics of Brooklynn just cause she is so cute and such a happy little girl!  She has been growing up so fast and has become such a girly girl.  She has been loving to play in our bedroom lately, going through my drawers and putting on my deodorant, brushing her hair, stealing m blush brush and my chapstick (aka "mips" is what she calls it) wearing my shoes and getting wash clothes and wiping down the walls and cabinets (I guess she has been watching me a little closer than I thought).

She was very proud of herself

Brooklynn has been doing really good at feeding herself until the last  week or so-   She has become quite the messy eater and it had been so hard not to just feed her myself!  She loves to use her fork and is really good at it then she starts to wipe it in her hair, on her face, all over her tray and most the time it ends up in a bath. What can I say kids will be kids no matter how hard I try to keep her clean.
