Brooklyn Turns 1!

Happy 1st Birthday Brooklyn!!!

We can't believe you are one. This year has absolutely flown by with lots of ups and downs. We are so grateful that you are part of our family. We love you. Thanks for bringing so much joy to our lives.


Birthday Highlights...

Here's Brooklyn on her actual birthday, August 9! Don't mind the crazy hair, this was after a long day of traveling back to Reno from New Hampshire and we were all a bit exhausted.



Thank you to Auntie Tami and family for my very own birthday cake!


I loved every bite...


...especially the FROSTING!



Family photo on PARTY DAY!!! We had a wonderful party in Reno the next weekend. Thanks to all our wonderful family and friends who made Brooklyn feel so special. We appreciate you all.

Being ONE is all about being messy. Therefore, we had a MESSY PARTY for our #1 messy girl. Pudding paint was the highlight and all the kids enjoyed making a big mess! Of course nothing a sprinkler couldn't clean off.


Hanging out with Grandpa. What could be better? Well... maybe cake. Since Brooklyn had already experienced two of her own Birthday cakes this week, we decided to have fruit pizza's instead of cake. I don't think anyone minded. Yummy cookies, pudding frosting and delicious fruit was a big hit. Brooklyn has definitely inherited both of her parents sweet tooth's.





Happy Birthday Brooklyn!

Thanks again to everyone who made it such a fun one!


Brooklyn's 1 year old stats...


Weight - 18 lbs -8th percentile


Height - 28 in - 13th percentile


Evidently we grow our children small.


Favorite words - ball, more, bampa (grandpa), bye-bye, da-da, ma-ma, peek-boo, moo, baa, woof


Brooklyn has taken her first steps but not quite fully walking.


Into everything and so much fun to play with.

Whew- one already! I loved seeing the all the pictures of the birthday and tara's big day. I've been tempted to try out the pudding paint, and it looks so fun, I think I will. Oh,- and VERY IMPRESSIVE garden. I bet that is so much fun.
