Once a upon a three year old's world........

So lately everything has been "Mom I am not Brooke" "I am the princess" "we are not going to Meijer's we are going to the ball" Okay so who am I? .... and usually it is "Mom you are the Queen (no complaints from me:) ) Dad is the King and Brady is the prince" This is great she is definitely into full on magic kingdom mode and I hope her land of make believe continues because in Mom's warped head this is all I can think of.........

Seriously another costume change??? Is this why we do 80 loads of laundry a week? That better not be dry clean only!! :)

Riding in on her white knight ........While mom prays she doesn't touch anything in order to avoid pink eye" haha.......






















In order to finally capture one of the many eligible princes........ I just pray these princes can get a word in edgewise :)















But really all in all - worries aside...... as any parent would wish - I just wish she live "happily ever after!"

Poppa has her "Hooked"

Okay Poppa this one if for you - she won't eat a tomato - but she went fishing and played with worms and LOVED it...... Hopefully you can let the tomato go as you revel in this vicotry....Thanks again for teaching her the ropes - she was so happy she caught her fish with her Poppa! She also thought you were very manly with your princess fishing rod! :)




Her first Catch!

Whose Kid Are You???

So Brady had his first B-day party last weekend and if he didn't look like his father's clone - I would have thought we got the wrong baby at the hospital! Brady apparently doesn't like Sweets.....of course we had the inaugural unveiling of the Birthday cake and as the paparazzi were waiting on bated breath they were sorely disappointed..... Not so much.......and I would say that it could have been the 50 cameras staring him down that spoiled his appetite, but we tried several times while just in the company of mom and dad..... cake, ice cream ......NADA! these pictures look like we we were seriously trying to get him to eat Brussels sprouts.....

ohhhh the agony!!!!

But give this kid some bread, crackers, carrots & fruit and then you finally get that "I have buried my face into my food" picture we were all hoping for at the party.......

So now the question remains who is this lil boy who has been living with us for a year and doesn't enjoy the sweet sensation of sugar?????

Happy First Birthday Butterball!

Happy Birthday to Brady Boo!! Wow I can't believe it's been a year - in a blink of an eye! You have changed so much in just twelve months, I can't wait to experience all of your changes over the next year! You have been the greatest baby and we have had a blast watching you grow into this little boy! If I could guarantee all my babies could be as easy and laid back as you I might just morph into Angelina Jolie, but for now you are a great piece to our family puzzle and couldn't imagine life without you! Happy Birthday Handsome!





Happy Birthday Stinky!

Stars & Stripes .....and up until Midnight!!

The Fourth of July festivites seemed like a week long event with it falling in the middle of the week - but all fun stuff...... The kids enjoyed the fireworks, even Brady was a rock star staying up for them after his mom woke him from a sound sleep where we strategically had him fall asleep in the car that was parked next to our camp chairs (I wanted to open the window and make sure he was getting enough fresh air - DOH!!!) oh well in hind sight I am glad he woke up and got to enjoy it with everybody else. He just watched in awe and clapped after each one! Brooke also enjoyed the local parade and carnival and some neighborhood special fireworks! Hope everyone had a great holiday! Can someone please tell me how it became the middle of July already???? Here are some pix of the kids enjoying the holiday!
