I Knew this Scene Looked Familiar...


Ty @ 13 months



 Jace @ 13months




Look whose standing and walking!!  






Best Friends Forever


Brooke has a best friend forever.  When we found out that we were going to be moving Brooke was broken hearted to leave Krynn behind.  They decided to be best friends forever and Brooke used her money from chores to buy best friend necklaces.  They decided to be pen pals.

The Leaf Blower



Our yard was in desperate need of some TLC.  We spent a Saturday morning raking and blowing the leaves into a huge pile.  Jace had more fun using the leaf blower on Brooke's hair. lol.

Dress up


Poor Ty. Brooke loves to play dress up and today he was the victim.

Thunderbird Park Hiking


I don't know what our problem is.  We have this awesome conservation park that has tons of hiking paths and we only end up going about once a year.  We suck.







January


We started a new year and got see some of our Thunderbird friends that had moved away.  The girls got together for a GNO and went to see the movie Les Miserables.  It was AMAZING!!  We loved it.  Daddy had another trip to Peru for work.  Since he was in the final stages of interviewing with corporate Wal-mart he treated it like his last.  He enjoyed all of his favorite restaurants and made lots of visits.  We celebrated his payday with our favorite frozen yogurt place, YOGURTOLOGY.  Jace invented some night vision goggles (binoculars taped to flash light).  We made chocolate chip cookies.  Brooke and I filled out her princess journal and colored a picture of her in a gown.  She knew just what she wanted it to look like.  Such a girly girl. We went to the library and the kids took up all the room in my bed while dad was gone on business.








Jace admired his 50 state quarter collection.  Ty broke his changing table. Brooke put on performances. The kids scootered home from school every day.  Jace and Brooke made up a new game called Horse and Carriage using an old tie and the baby doll stroller.  I just had to smile as I thought of all the child hood memories of games we made up as kids.  Jace, Brooke, and I had a caramel popcorn and movie night.  We watched the latest Tinkerbell movie The Secret of the Wings and both of them were obsessed with the movie afterwards.  Craig and I had a good time teasing Jace about it because we would catch him all the time with the lap top claiming that he put it on for Brooke ... with Brooke nowhere to be found. lol








Ty's morning ritual includes going through all my bathroom drawers.  I used Jace's scooter and it was SO FUN!  I think I need to get one now.  Brooke had her 100th day of school party and got a pink balloon.  Brooke colored an adorable birthday card for her Grandpa Brammer.




My little buddy.  We hang out a lot.  He's the sweetest kid alive.
 I am a complete bargain shopper (mostly out of necessity), look at the deal I snagged: 12 tops, 3 pairs shoes, & 3 pairs skinny jeans for $40.  My latest addiction is Downton Abbey.  I love it.



I came home from the grocery store with Jace and Ty to find a pirate duel going on.  Craig is such a good dad.
