Halloween

Trying to catch up on posts, it's been busy 'round here.  I've also had problems with my computer and camera but I got it figured out.  Brooklyn has been growing like crazy, and is learning/doing new things all the time!  We carved pumpkins for Halloween and went trick-or-treating as a Star Wars family, of course.  Randi was Padme, Chris was Darth Maul, I was Leia, and Brookie was a Wookie (one of our friends went also but didn't dress up).  It was lots of fun, and she was pooped by the end.  Chris made a storm trooper pumpkin, I made an owl, Randi made a vampire, Taylor made a whale (a tail is cut out in the back), and Brooklyn's was a Mickey Mouse.




  

Family Disney Trip!

We were fortunate enough to be able to take Brooklyn to Disneyland over fall break!  Some of the family was able to come as well.  It was a great time, and she seemed to like it for the most part.  The first ride we went on was "Pirates of the Caribbean", which she did not like very much.  But everything else she liked.  We knew she really enjoyed a ride if she pointed throughout the whole thing.  She seemed to really love "It's a small world".

We all hurried onto the bus, Chris ended up sitting with the stroller by the door. 

Just a random kid who was doing something so gross we had to take a picture.
He probably sucked on that for five minutes.

We saw the Aladdin show twice, since it will soon be replaced.

Feel free to leave a comment, or ask a question!  It's nice to see who is following along.  

Houston, we have a one year old

As this day approached, we almost felt like we were supposed to be sad.  Sad that the year has flown by, that she is no longer considered a baby, and that she has changed so much.  I know Chris and I both felt at least a little sad, but we really weren't.  It makes us so happy looking back on this year.  We love all the memories from the year, and seeing all of her firsts.  We can't possibly be sad, because we can't wait to see how she continues to grow and change.  We will miss her as a baby, but love seeing this little thing that is half of mommy and half of daddy, grow to be her own little person.  God has blessed us big time, and we are so thankful.  Thank you to our family and friends who helped make these great memories!


Here are some pictures from her birthday, and of the new playroom for Brooklyn.

I wish the color wasn't so weird for this picture, but the lighting was horrible.

Brooklyn opened presents and had a toy with a squeaker that Calypso loved.

Her new stool that she loves to stand on.

She cried at the cake first.  

After a while she decided to eat...and had a pretty good chunk taken out.

A present from Mom and Dad is a new playroom that she loves!
