More Time Alone

Face Time with Daddy- whole fist in his mouth!

Capital high puts on a race each year for the elementary schools in their district. Brook was so excited to race!

She did awesome! She was racing against K-3 and still came in with the first quarter of the group!

Daddy sent me flowers to wish me a happy weekend.

He sure knows how to make a girl feel special

Missing our Dad a lot

We love our Grammy!

I got to work on the kitchen cabinets finally!

Before:

After:

Brook had to miss school for a day because we lost the car keys for a full 24 hours!

Our owl family is complete! They were made by Gramma and Papa Perry.

While Daddy's Been Gone...

Jack took a liking to the Packers

We had a few sleepovers...

We got to meet "big nosed fathead Ellie"

we swam with cousins at the YMCA

Grandpa made us face pizzas

We blew Daddy kisses goodnight

and told him we loved him!

We bought a trampoline to keep Mom's sanity

Mom attempted to follow in Dad's footprints of shape pancakes

and we visited with Grandma & Grandpa a LOT!

She's Six!!!

Our little Brookie girl is SIX!!!

Her birthday got started three days early with a package in the mail from Daddy- he was so sad he wouldn't be here to celebrate with us, so he spoiled her rotten! Her own jewelry box, and $20 gift card to her favorite restaurant, Noodles, nail polish, sun glasses, a bracelet, and Kung Fu Panda 2!

Then on Saturday, Grandma & Grandpa helped us throw an epic Artist Party....

.... complete with BOUNCY HOUSE!

And a pottery wheel!!!

We invited all her cousins 5 and up and threw pots, made clay sculptures, painted, bounced, decorated sugar cookie palettes, threw more pots, ate hot dogs, and generally had a great time!

For her birthday breakfast, Grandpa made her some smiley face waffles with strawberries and whipped cream- her favorite!

For her birthday dinner, she ordered roast, mashed potatoes, asparagus, corn on the cob, and watermelon! Love my healthy little girl!

She wanted Grammy & Papa to join us as well as Aunt Becky and Aunt Stacy & Uncle Michael & Lincoln. It was a birthday feast!

I'm so proud of my sweet big six year old! She tries to include everyone, is a friend to anyone who will let her be their friend, shares her things, even when they are special to her, smiles & laughs alot, has amazing artistic abilities, and is my little girl! 

Happy Birthday Sweetheart! 

We Love You SO MUCH!
