Grandpa time

I have to say my Dad is so good with kids. It's no wonder why he ended up with all girls, he loves them! This was on mom's birthday and Esi wanted him to read to her. Eventually Boky hopped in and listened to him read too. Thanks Dad for always being so patient and for loving mine and Rachel's babies!



Celebrating with The Groves

This year we decided to combine our celebration for Thanksgiving and Christmas with Zach's family. It worked out the best with all our crazy schedules and travel considerations. We had a pretty good visit other than I was sick, Gunner wasn't feeling good, and everyone had to leave fairly early Sunday evening. All in all it was a fun visit and we were glad that we got to visit.





Modeling the outfit her grandparents gave her.


Tessa's Santa Hat on Boky's head. Too funny.



Chubby wubby Tessa with her santa hat on. I love it!






Carving the turkey. (This is the second time I have cooked a turkey and I must say it turned out awesome.)

Twister...



I love the fact that my little sisters are still little enough to want to play games with Brooklyn. This day they were playing twister. It was hilarious to watch as Jade would mix up her left and right, Esi would run around and around the mat, Brooklyn would jump from circle to circle and Jamie actually played the right way. Thanks for the entertainment :O)

Good Weekend...

Just a note this is a journal type entry, feel free to skip it :O)

So I started this post once, but I lost it somehow... so hear it goes again...

This weekend was a super one! Nothing too special happened but it was so nice. Friday started out with me going to work (not my fave) but it was a pretty good day, nothing deadly. Then when I got off and went to get Brooklyn my grandparents were at my mom's, and they even waited up to see me!! We don't make it up there enough to see them so I am glad they are willing to make the drive down occasionaly. It was super good to see them. Also I must mention my Auntie Laurie had a birthday! Happy birthday to her! She was so good to share it with us. She even let Brooklyn help her make a cake on friday night (now Brooklyn wants the beaters all the time).

After we left mom's we ended up at one of Zach's friend's house (Matt and Kassie). Brookyln was tired but super thrilled because they have kitties (they are really 2 or 3 years old and pretty chunky). Matt even went above and beyond and got ehr a laser pointer to play with the kitties, it was funny watcihng her trying to use it and them trying to chase it.

Saturday we woke up early (especially after our late night) and headed back over to my mom's to try and get a few more hours in with Grandpa and Grandma Hodges and Aunt Laurie. We walked in to hot pancakes! Yummy. After they left Jade begged us to take her up to kings, and Zach can't say no so away we went... We ended up spending 10$ on a new Zhu Zhu Pet, but hey Brookyln is happy! Jade also bought another Zhu Zhu. If you haven't seen them take a look, they are pretty cool little creatures. I will post a video of Brooklyn with hers, she is so funny about it.

After that we came home and napped and it was wonderful! I love when me and Brooklyn can nap together. It gives me hope that when this next baby comes we will still get a little rest. Speaking of the baby, we get to find out on Thursday what sex it is! Can you believe it? It has flown by for me. I am excited to know so we can get things prepared and ge stuff arranged. Yay :O)

Sunday we rested a lot! We must ahve all needed to catch up on sleep or something because we normally don't nap everyday. We also played Lego's and went to McDonald's and played (I know). It was good to just spend time with my own little family, we don't do it often enough. Zach and I want to start doing date night at least every other week and I totally think we need to get in the habit before baby 2 is here.

Zach has been so good to me lately. I don't know if I am just realizing it more or if he is trying harder but I LOVE it, and him even more!



Things he has done that impress me...

Dishes. Every day before he leaves the house he doesn the dishes.

Garbages. He has been so good about staying on top of the garbages. It's nobody's favorite job around here but he has been taking all the trash out before I even get a chance to ask him.

Laundry. Sunday he did all the laundry for me. It didn't all make it on hangers or in drawers but hey it's clean and wearable.

Hair. He has been helping with Brooklyn's hair so that they don't have to make special trips to my work everyday, and I must say he is doing a pretty good job.

Last but not least he has treated me like a princess every day even when I am acting like a dragon! I love him soooo much!

Grandma De

The last few weeks I have been working a ton and it has been really hard for me as far as trying to be a mom. I am so glad that my mom has been able to help me out so much and so often. Brooklyn is loving spending time with my mom as well. She is getting to the point that when we get to my mom's house she gets all excited and can't wait to get out of her seat. And she reaches for Grandma as well. Here are a few pictures I got a little bit ago...
