Brooke Ashleigh 4 months old

My really good friend Lauren watches Luke and Brooke around one day a week while I work and Drew is at school. She took all these cute photos of Brooke the other day while she was watching her. I thought it was darling and had to share. Luke and Brooke are having soo much fun at Lauren's and playing with her kids David, Colin, and Adam. Adam is 1 yr old now and loves Brooke. It's soo cute to see him go up to Brooke touch her and then walk away. Enjoy the photos of my sweet lil' Brooke!

Drew's First Day of Kindergarten

He is a big boy now! I just remember how little he was and now looking at Brooke has brought back soo many memories of when Drew was a baby. I just remember playing with him, doing Indy 500 in the house with his little ride on toy, my lil' running buddy in the jogger stroller, sleeping on my chest every night when he was a baby, how active he was crawling at 4 mo and walking at 9 mo, and always telling me he loves me. I just can't believe it's time for him to go to school. I guess he has already done well for the teacher told him the other day he was a good reader. I asked him why and he said b/c he was looking at a book quietly. I think he will do well in school and he already is telling me He loves Kindergarten. It will be fun to see him change and grow this year. We have a fun filled year ahead. Happy First Day of Kindergarten Drew!

Drew getting off the bus and so excited to be home. I don't know why but each time he gets off the bus he runs as fast as he can. I finally asked him why and he said "Mommy it's b/c I missed you." I thought that was sweet!

I had to get a picture with my sweet boy in front of the school. Daddy made it home just in time to go with us. We all got in the car to wish him a Good First Day. I did get a little sad dropping him off.

All the parents got out of cars and took pictures. I had to get out and do the same!! Looks like Drew is already making a friend. He did good and was fine leaving me to go to school. All the kids in the grades had colored T-shirts so the Teachers all knew what classes they were in. They have 3 afternoon classes going on at the same time. That is a total of 20-25 kids in each class, so just alone for the afternoon at his school there is 60-80 kids. Wow!!!

He told Luke to be a good boy for Mommy while he was at school. I thought it was sweet! Whey didn't he do that when he was home???

I'm a Big Girl Now!

Well, Brooke is now 3 mo old. She is doing lots of things these days and is very busy. She now can lay on her tummy with her head up, roll over, laugh, giggle, smile, and talks up a storm. (not sure where she gets that from! ha!) She is such a sweetie and she is becoming more fun each day. She now has daily conversations with her brothers and smiles at them like crazy. She's a big girl now!!

Brooke meets Cousin Harper

We finally made our trip to Lexington to see the family and finally meet Baby Harper. She is a doll and I had so much fun snuggling with her. Sophie has grown so much and I was happy to see her too. We were able to get some Cousin Photos and they turned out precious! I had fun catching up with family and then seeing my good College Friend Kelly. I don't know what I would do without her. She is such a good friend. I had a great visit and can't wait to see my Nieces soon again! Miss you all!

Oh Sweet Pics of the Kids

I took some photos of the kids the other day and I think I took about 30 pictures...I got a few good ones out of the mix. I am having a lot of fun being home with them this summer although it has been crazy. Brooke is growing so and she is getting to be so cute and fun. She is now starting the "coo" and "oooooh". Her and I have great conversations! She loves to smile now and stick out her tounge. She loves the pacifier as you can see but also sucks on her hand which I have seen her thumb in her mouth a few times. Barrett was telling me Harper sucks her thumb now and I was telling her Brooke loves the paci. Well, next thing I know..Brooke is sticking her thumb in her mouth. I guess she wants to hang with her cuz. I am hoping to make it to Lexington next week to snuggle with Harper and get some cute cousin pics. I can't believe Drew will start Kindergarden Aug. 12th and Luke will be in Preschool starting Sept. 8th. It will be a fun filled year. Hope everyone is doing well and I will talk to everyone soon....it's been busy as you can see! Love us all!!!!

Fun Times with our Neighbors!

These are our neighbors Ella and Abby. The boys play with them everyday... Ella is 6 wks younger than Luke and Abby is 4 weeks older than Brooke. We will have fun growing up and playing with them. We spent the 4th of July weekend with them cooking out and lighting fun fireworks. It seems this summer we will continue to do smores on the deck and lots more playing. The boys and now Brooke love Ella and Abby.

Happy 4th of July!!!!
