My pink kitchen as my present from Mommy and Daddy...

Sorry this has taken me so long to post. I broke our digital camera the week before Brooke's first birthday. I was very sad! Needless to say, I didn't get a new camera before her big day. I broke out my ol' nice Cannon Camera that Jeremy got me 8yrs ago but it takes film. Wow, how long it takes to get film to the store, developed, put on disc, and then brought home to load on computer. Whew! I am sure I see a new camera coming my way someday!!! Brooke had a wonderful first birthday! I invited a bunch of good friends to come celebrate her day with us. We had a cookout with Mexican Fieste' theme since she was suppose to be my Cinco De Mayo baby. We made steak fajitas on the grill thanks to Jaime cooking for us and making the homemade Guacamole dip. yummy! Lots of chips and salsa... We played potato sack races with the big kids and then had a pinate' as well. My neighbor friend Erin took more pictures for me as I posted those on Facebook. Brooke had lots of pink everywhere for her big day. I had to for she is my girl! Happy First Birthday Brooke! I can't believe you are ONE!!!

Brooke was playing so sweet with her baby the other day.

Our Couples Trip to Keenland

Thanks to Mom and Dad we were able to go to Keenland for the day. Oh how I miss Kentucky! Brad and Heather wanted to go bet on some horses and how could I resist going back to Lexington. We had a great time and it was nice to travel once again to see the family. I was surprised Brad and Heather wanted to go in the car with us and I was thinking "are you sure with 3 kids." I think I had the best day ever at Keenland and we won some races. Brad wasn't doing so well and then he came out with a big Win. So, it was overall a great day!

The Zoo

We made a trip to the Zoo with our neighbors friends. Drew and Luke play with Ella & Abby everyday. We had lots of fun with our friends and it was hot sunny day!

Happy Easter

This was a real quick Easter day. We drove all day from Iowa visiting the family and got home around 2:30 in the afternoon b/c Daddy had a trip that night. Surprise, the Easter Bunny came. The boys found their baskets filled on the deck and Easter eggs all over the back yard. How did the Easter Bunny do that? I got the kids dressed real quick and we had a real quick Easter day!

Harper Turns ONE!

We drove down to Lexington this past weekend to wish Harper a Happy Birthday! She turned ONE!! I was so happy to make it and we had so much fun!
