Easter 2010...

That's right, the Easter bunny found Brooklyn!
She got a little spoiled from mom and dad too! It's always been tradition for the Easter bunny to bring my family new swimming suits for Easter and this year Zach and I decided to get Brooklyn a "Sunday" outfit as well. I think her favorite part was her shoes though (thanks to auntie Rach for teaching her all about shoes). I had to work, one of the least favorite parts of working in health care, so I woke every one up before heading out the door.

Pulling her out of bed, she does have a small smile on her face.

Still trying to wake up a little.

Excited to find that the eggs had candy in them.

Her and Daddy :)


Happy Easter to all!!

Easter Eggs 2010...

The night before Easter we colored Easter eggs!
I started off boiling an 18 pack, ended with 15 eggs to color, and Brooklyn only broke one while we were coloring them. We had this really cool egg coloring thing that we bought last year and never used so we pulled it out this year and put it to good use. I thought it would be a huge mess but it was way less messy than the traditional dyes that I have used in the past. You just put the egg in the bowl thing, added a few drops of dye, put the lid on, push the button and viola... colored eggs! It was super fun! The pictures really aren't in any special order, enjoy!

P.S. sorry about the crappy pictures, my camera totally sucks and i really need a new one... donations any one?

The perfect family photo

The real family photo... Me posing, Zach being a dork, and Brooklyn worried about being dirty!

The cheesy family photo :)

This was before we started coloring, the anticipation was really getting to her.

The finished products, pretty cool looking huh?

This Week...

So I have been a slacker of a blogger lately so I have made a goal, and I'm challenging you to do it too...

One blogger post per week, with at least one picture.

Does that sound reasonable? I think so, so get to it people!

This past week was kind of a blur for me, to be honest I can't even remember what days I worked and what ones I was home. I do remember that I spent one ENTIRE day at home getting stuff done and it still didn't seem adequate.

Yesterday was such a nice day that we spent some of it in the back yard cleaning up dog poo and picking up garbage and gross plants. We didn't get everything we set out to do done, but we got a start. After we were done in the back yard Brooklyn wanted to ride her bike (yes she can now pedal thanks to Grandpa James for teaching her that one) so we decided to take her around the block. We made it three quarters around the block and she was done and wanted to be carried. Zach said it reminded him of when Kiwi was a baby and I would take her on walks and if she got to tired I would just carry her. Anyways, Zach carried the bike home and I carried Boky. It was nice to have a day off that we were all home, it doesn't happen very often anymore.

Silly little Brooklyn didn't want to wear her pants this day. I asked her to put them on and she put them on her head! She looks like a bunny!

Easter 2009

Easter this year was very fun with Brooklyn. She enjoyed going through her basket and finding the treats that the Easter bunny left for her. She was such a character. You can tell in the pictures she was a little tired still when she woke up but that didn't stop her!!

After we did our own thing at home we headed over to do an Easter egg hunt. Brooklyn liked for a few minutes then all she wanted to do was play on the slide and in the sand. It was fun to watch her run around in the grass and grab the eggs.
