Valentines Weekend

Uncle Angelo and Aunt Dina drove over from Bend to see the new house and spend a long weekend with us. We always enjoy when they visit, especially B she can not get enough of them. This is her coloring with a pen under Uncles watch. Uncle I think she missed the paper?
Having Breakfast so excited for the lemon that Uncle gave her.
Pointing at the lights ( she says tisss )
Auntie getting mad at Uncle for giving B the lemon and Uncle can't stop laughing because....
What is the taste...
SOUR, take it I don't want it!
Reading books with Uncle. She loves to read books and her Uncle
Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory so yummy we only go there when they come because they do not have one.
Playing on the mall toys, we took a little walk after dinner to digest our food. Thank you Auntie and Uncle for coming to visit and always spoiling us when you come. We truly enjoy spending time with you. Thank you for being so great to Brooklyn she loves you. It was a nice relaxing weekend, just what we needed.
Here is a little video of Brooklyn playing, Get it Uncle!

Making herself at home

We were at Sears getting a dryer and daddy had to have B try out the motorcycle, I don't know who was more excited, daddy or Brooklyn?
Here are a few random pics of B trying out her new house. As you can tell she feels quite comfortable with the place. Some sneak peeks of the house more to come!
This is the one and only time she was allowed to sit in the drawer she certainly tries, but is not allowed inside. This is also her one drawer in the kitchen that she can open and take everything out of.
She wanted to see the backyard so she dragged the book over to get a better view.
Looking cool in her shades running up and down the hallway from her room to our room.

Moving on Up!!

This post is overdue,but some of you may not know that we have been trying to get into a house of our own for over 2 years now. After placing multiple offers we finally got a short sale house that we put an offer on in Sept 2009. We our so excited to not be renters anymore and to be able to have a home that we can do what we want to. It has been a crazy few months trying to get everything together to move, moving and getting Brooklyn's room together. Pics of the new house coming soon.
We went to Marie Calendar's after we dropped off the down payment check to the Title office to celebrate getting our keys! The cookie B is holding came with her meal, yes it was bigger than her face. Good thing she does not know what cookies are yet, we got to enjoy it for her.
Brooklyn was so excited to be at the title office finalizing our new house, or to be sitting in a Big girl chair!
Moving day!! We started at 10 am and had the truck unloaded and everyone feed and gone by 2pm. We had an amazing group of friend and family to help us, we are so thankful for all the help and support from each of you. Thank you for taking time out of your Saturday to help us. Thank you Ricky and Steph for taking B all day it was great to not have to worry about her.
B helping dad get the fireplace going.
Our little helper once again putting our bed back together.
I think it is good mom and dad!

Cousin Time

Cousins Miranda and Lucas came to visit Idaho with there Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. They stayed with there other cousins and Aunt and Uncle in Kuna, but we got to spend a day with them. B chilling with the cousins at Kirk and Danielle's house

Miranda came to our house for the afternoon and taught B how to kick the soccerball. She now loves to walk in front of the ball and try to kick it!

Then she taught her how to roll the ball back and forth. We didn't do much, but it is always fun to see the nieces and nephews. Brooklyn loves playing with her cousins and anyone that will give her attention.

Here is a little video mostly for the grandparents enjoyment, of Brooklyn walking and talking. Of course now she is trying to run especially if she has something she is not supposed to have.

GO BRONCOS

Monday Night we went to the Cerda Family (pictured above) home for chili, cornbread and the Fiesta Bowl. As you can tell they are big fans, Jenny works for BSU so they really know how to bring the spirit.
Broncos WON the Fiesta Bowl, it was a great game. Amazingly B stayed awake for the whole game it did not end until 10pm. I thought we would leave at halftime, but we do not get the channel at home so Danny would not be able to watch the rest. Good thing for late naps and other people to entertain her. She really loved Victoria (Victor's daughter) she kept going up to her and giving her long hugs.
Crashed out! She only made it a few blocks, poor baby we ran her hard that night.

Just Because...

I am a dork and was excited that we were all dressed up and went to church together on time (granted it did not start until 2 but when you have been lazy all morning it is hard to get ready and out the door on time). And because my husband is a good sport and will take photos when he knows I am so proud of our family. And because Danny has been working out at the gym for the last few months losing weight, eating better, can fit in his old pants and better in his suit coat!!! I try at the gym lost some weight, but he is much better than me. So proud of you babe keep up the good work you are motivation for me.
Love you babe, thanks for being a good sport and always supporting me.
Brooklyn was trying to figure out what we were telling her to smile at, there is no one there! My parents are crazy! I Love my family, cheeks and all we are darn cute.
