Halloween 2010

I think it's safe to say that Brooks and Burkley had an AMAZING Halloween this year!

It started off pretty early (around 4:30 in the afternoon) so that we could make the rounds and be home before midnight!

First stop...

Nana and PaPa's house...except PaPa left for Ft. Worth!

Then to MiMi's house for some candy and cookies!

And then down to Uncle Kevin, Aunt Mandy, Colton, and Avery's house for some candy and box of cars and a My Little Pony!

Then, we headed on over for a much needed visit with PaPa Scotty and Granny Di!

Brooks and Burkley got a cute little goody bag filled with homemade cookies, some money, and fun fruits!
After that, we headed on over to Nea and Poppy's house!
We went over to Maw Maw's and did a little trick or treating too!
And the we set out with Kyla and Shea for some trick or treating down Nea and Poppy's street (well, only one house before making it to Pop's)!

Our final destination was Pop's house!
Brooks and Burkley received the cutest Halloween books that I'm sure we will read a million times a day!

More random pictures...just because they are so darn CUTE!

Thanks to everyone for making Brooks and Burkley's 2nd Halloween so special!

They really did have a good time trick or treating!!!

Burkley the Zebra, Shea the Witch, Brooks the Lion, and Kyla the Indian!

Hope you had a Happy Halloween too!

Wordless Wednesday

Guess what B&B LOVE to eat for breakfast?!?!

T Minus TWO Months

HAPPY 22 MONTHS BROOKS AND BURKLEY!

How on earth is it possible for you both to be turning TWO in just TWO short months?

And is it really true that I just booked your SECOND birthday party this week at Jump~N~Jungle?

I can guarantee that these past 22 months have been the BEST 22 months of your daddy and I's lives!

What would we do without you?

(besides be rich...ha ha ha!!)Pumpkin Patch 2010...22 Months Old

Brooks Allen...

You are all BOY - you LOVE cars, trucks, trains, and dirt.

You LOVE to rough house with your daddy and you LOVE to love all on your 4 legged sister, Holly!

You are currently wearing a 5-6 diaper, 24 months to 2T clothes, and a size 5.5 shoe and you no longer take a paci...woohoo!

You LOVE to sing, color, work puzzles, line up any and everything, play outside, watch Moo Moo's (Charlotte's Web) and Cars, go to your grandparents, play with your cousins, have books read to you, and you have recently started wanting to do things by YOURSELF!

You talk NON STOP!

You are silliest and the SWEETEST little boy I know!

Just this week, the director at your "school" sent me a text letting me know how much they love you and what a great personality you have!

Talk about MELT mommy's heart!!!

Little Miss Burkley Ann...

You are all things GIRL - if it's girly, you want it!

You LOVE to wear bracelets, occasionally a necklace, at times will walk around in my shoes, and will carry one of your little purses around the house!

Everything is CUTE to you (at least that's what you tell me)!

As I was fixing your hair today, you let me know that you didn't want just a barrette, you wanted a bow. So, that's just what you got!

You are wearing size 12-18 month tops, 3 month shorts, 12-18 month jeans that are cinched a BUNCH (and you have to have that size for the length), 9 month leggings, size 3 diaper, and size 3 shoe!

You love to sing, color, work puzzles with your brother, dance, play with your babies, play outside, read books, visit your grandparents, and play with your cousins!

You are talking non-STOP and are starting to say more and more sentences.

Just the other night a dinner, you said "Momma, I need more Ketchup" like you have said it a million times before!

You are still tiny, but oh so mighty...and we wouldn't want that any other way!

Just this last month, you said bye bye to your pacis...it was harder for you than your big brother, but you did great and we are so proud of you!

You LOVE going to school!

This week, Mrs. Julie, the director sent me a text telling me how much she and your teachers (Mrs. Lara and Mrs. Lynda) love you and what a great little personality you have! She also said that you could run the class because you know where everything is and you know what belongs to each friend...that's the teacher in your mommy coming out in you!

You are the spunkiest , sweetest, and strong willed little girl that I know!!

And just for kicks and giggles, here's a few more of my babies when they were babies!

HAPPY 22 MONTHS SWEET B&B!!!

Halloween Teacher Gifts

Here's what B&B gave their teacher's (and the director of MDO) for Halloween this year!

A cute little Halloween towel with their last initial monogrammed on it and a cute little glitter pumpkin plaque that I made!

Just a cute little something to let them know how much we appreciate all that they do and for loving our babies like their own!

*I'm going to give them a festive kitchen towel for each holiday, so by the end of the school year, they will have a holiday collection!*

Little Momma

Nea and I were just joking when we asked Burkley (and Brooks) if they wanted mommy to have a baby, but I guess she wasn't!

She'd make a GREAT big sister!

Maybe "one" day!

And no, I'm not pregnant and do not plan on becoming pregnant anytime soon...unless "The Man Up Above" has other plans!

And I'm loving the fact that Burkley is playing with one of my Cabbage Patch Kids!
