Silly Hats

Our little fire girl!

She enjoyed her hat and some of Mommy's sub.

This does not mean I want her to work at Waffle House!!!...but she is missing some teeth!!! lol

Getting Brooke's ears pierced!

After contemplating many months about having Brooke's ear's pierced, I did it!! Every time I went to the mall, much to my relief, there would only be one person there to do it. They usually require 2 people on small kids. My sister and I went to the mall and I popped my head in the store to ask if there were two people on duty to which she replied "no". Brooke had managed to dodge it once again and I was 75% relieved! Then she says "there will be someone else here in a few minutes". Great! Now I have to actually do it! :( We still had some shopping to do and I didn't want to torture Brooke until it was close to her nap time. On the way out of the mall, we stopped back by and again there was only one person. Of course the lady says, "the other girl will be right back, she went to get lunch. You can fill out the paperwork and we'll be ready when she gets here". I felt terrible filling out the paperwork!!! I think the whole process was more stressful on me!!! A few teething tablets and some tylenol...we were ready!

Here is the footage of Brooke's tramatic event! Luckily Brooke didn't cry too much after it was done. She had some milk and passed out! She tried to show off her earrings in the last part of the clip but she was too busy being silly!

Enjoying dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. Her ears didn't seem to be bothering her.

It's STILL a Boy!!

I had my 20 week ultrasound yesterday that confirmed he was still a he!!! We have finally picked a name we think Poppy will LOVE!!! Ready.....George W. Gritter!

OK Poppy, calm down!!! ....really we have not picked a name for him yet. Jeff doesn't like any names so far. I even called out names from the NFL draft picks and still nothing. It's a good thing we have a few more months to go!

Flint River Aquarium

On the way back from Florida, we decided to stop in Albany for a picnic and visit the Flint River Aquarium. It's not a very big aquarium but it gave Brooke a nice break from her car seat.

Here she is checking out the little turtle swimming around in his tank.

She wanted to stand up for a closer look!

Daddy giving her a boost up to check out the fish.

At least one of them had their eyes open!

Mommy managed to get in one picture on the trip!

No idea what this look was for!

A vacation...from house hunting in Destin

Jeff, Brooke and I headed to the Fort Walton area to start our house hunting adventure. I'm sorry to say as of right now, we are still homeless starting the end of May. We hope something comes up soon so we can get settled and ready for Baby #2. Here are some pictures of Brooke's "grown-up" trip to the beach. She loved it!!! She did not want to get up once we sat her in the sand. She's going to be a Floridian in no time!!!

Daddy stealing a kiss as Brooke heads to the beach for her first "real" visit.

One of many stranded Jellyfish.

Brooke loved playing in the sand. She even took a few bites!

This was her favorite thing to do in the hotel!

Brooke enjoying dinner at Chili's.

Brooke's 2nd trip down to the beach. There was a warm pool of water she got to enjoy.

She could have sat there all day and played in the sand. I think she's going to enjoy moving to the beach!!

My beautiful girl in her bikini.

Our poor baby is developing early and popping out of her top!! lol

Swimming with Daddy at the hotel pool.

A few quick videos of Brooke enjoying the beach.

Visiting Landon....

Brooke as the Easter Bunny! She is so funny when you put something on her head. This is the face she always makes!!

My friend Angie and Landon.

Brooke wasn't quite sure how to throw the ball back to Landon so she would just try to hand it back to him.

I absolutely LOVE this picture of Brooke!!!! She looks so sweet!!!
