So here they are!!!

Thank You!!

Jared, I love you so much, I can't imagine my life without you! I can't believe we have been together almost six years! I have loved these last few years with you and being married to you has been so amazing! I want to thank you for everything, you do so much for me and I don't thank you enough. The biggest thing that you have done for me is let me be a stay at home mom and raise Brooke. I love it so much it means so much more to me than you will ever know! I love you Jar, thank you!! I know this is random!

Update!

Brookey Sue

So Brooke is already 7 months I cannot believe it! It goes by so fast, you always hear people say it goes by fast so enjoy it. Well I didn't know it would go this fast!! Oh it is so sad but so good! She is just growing like a weed! She is 17 pounds & 28 in. long, so she is in her 98% for her length, and is 76% for weight so she is moving right along. It makes you feel so good to know that she is doing well, I question myself all the time if I am doing everything right and to know that she is growing makes me feel great!! So about three weeks ago she got her first 2 teeth, started to crawl and sitting up! I can't believe it, and it all happened around the same time! My parents and Gar, just took Whitney, Tripp, Brooke and I to California for a week and that is when all these things happened I think she was watching Tripp get around and got jealous so she decided I better start figuring out how to move! ha ha She is starting to get into drawers, and under neath furniture. The other day we had to lower her mattress in her crib cause I walked in and she was standing holding onto the side bouncing. I didn't think that would happen this early. She has discovered her toes, which I think is adorable. She loves to eat them and pull of her socks! We pierced her ears a few days ago, she looks adorable with them. I know that's not every body's cup of tea but we just love it and are so glad that we did it now! She is eating a lot more food now she loves oranges, strawberries, spaghetti, potatoes and anything chocolate, she is most definitely my daughter. Oreo shakes are her favorite!!I have just realized I need to enjoy every single moment of every day cause not to long from now she will be walking then talking and then who knows. It goes by so fast, Brooke has taught me to enjoy every day even if it means we stay at home all day in our pj's and look like bums! It is those days I enjoy so much! She is amazing I feel so honored to be her mom and to get to watch her grow! I love her so much!! Life goes by in the blink of an eye! Enjoy it!

Happy New Year!!

Wow last year went by soo fast, I can't believe it! Last year was so eventful for me and my family! Last February Tripp was born, and now he is so big and almost a year old. He is the funniest little kid! And in May Cal was born and he is growing like a weed and the most relaxed baby ever he is so funny how easy going he is!! Jared and I had our first anniversary and went on a trip to California, so much fun!! I love vacations with him they are so much fun! We loved it and hope we can take another trip soon! Jared got promoted to be a banker, at Wells Fargo. He loves it so much, and he is very good at his job!! I am so proud of him, he is such a hard worker, he will do anything to support us! I love him! Then August 2nd came and our sweet baby girl Brooke was born, it was one of the most amazing days! And now she is already 5 months! Holy cow has it gone by so fast! She is rolling all over the place, starting to sit up, laughing, and doing her baby talk constantly! It is the funniest thing the way she talks, we love it! She has been such a blessing to my life, she has made me realize what is really important in life. She is so much fun, even though she can't really talk she is my little buddy! We do everything together and I love having her with me everywhere I go! In october she went on her first trip to Disneyland with us and my parents and of course uncle Gar! It was a blast!!Her favorite ride was Monsters Inc. oh it was so much fun!!She has the cutest personality, just happy, a bit dramatic and she knows what she wants! We say she is going to be a bit of a drama queen. I love my little family so much it has been so much fun being married & having our sweet baby girl. I am so grateful for all that I have, for my parents and for all that they do for us, they are so good to us!! I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for them! For my siblings and there friendship and love they show toward us. For Garrett who is the

most amazing little boy that you will ever meet!! I love him with all my heart! He is so cute with Brooke he just adores her, and it means so much to us!! I had a great year with happy times and trials, they all made us stronger and as a couple and as a family! I am excited for this new year and what is it going to bring!!!

The past few months!

Wow it has been way to long since I have updated this! So much has happened Brooke is almost 4 months. When she was only 3 three weeks old she went and met Grandma W. and I am so glad that we went over there cause she recently passed away. So I am glad I got pictures of her with Grandma!In September we went up and visited my Grandma Ray in Washington. All three babies it was an adventure but so much fun. Getting on the airplane was pretty funny everyone staring and hoping we weren't on their flight. It was so fun to see Grandma, she just loved those babies. On 24th we blessed her, she looked beautiful, in her cute white dress that Danette bought her and the shoes and bow from my mom. And so many of our family and friends came and supported us, which meant so much to all of us! On Halloween she was a lady bug, my mom made the costume for her she was the cutest bug, it was so fun we went to Gardener Village with Tripp and Cal and took pictures in there costumes. In November we went on a family vacation, Jared,Brooke and I drove to California with my mom, dad a

nd gar, she did so good in the car ride both ways, we were so impressed. We had a blast!! We took her to Disneyland, it was more for me than her but it was so much fun! She had on her Minnie Mouse shirt and hat, she looked so cute! Then we went to the Aquarium in Long Beach she loved looking at the fish. The trip was so much fun she loved being with my parents and Garrett. She just loves Gar, it is the cutest thing! He is so sweet we went to the Disney store and with his own money he bought her a stuffed animal! I know I am talking about so many events but I need to fill everyone in on everything. These past few months have been so wonderful I just love having my little girl, she makes everyday happy for all of us! She is so big now almost 4 months and she is so long, she is growing so fast I can't believe how fast it has all gone. Life goes by pretty darn fast, I realize that more now that I have a baby. Here are some pictures of the last few months!

Brooklyn's Room

Her room was so much fun to decorate, we love how it all turned out! It is so happy and relaxing! My mom bought the bedding for her and Jared's mom bought the crib for us. I made a couple ot her wall decorations, which was so fun to do, and my mom made the Brooklyn sign above her crib!! I love it!So without their help it wouldn't be as cute!We love it in here and hope that you will think it's as cute as we do!

Introducing Brooklyn Sue Day

Brooklyn Sue Day

This was the best day ever, it was so amazing I was so scared of labor it really terrified me but then it all happened and it wasn't so bad. And the end result was worth every minute! When they put her on my chest I lost it, I was crying like a baby I was so happy and so at peace knowing she was perfect!! YAY!! Brooklyn Sue Day was born August 2, 2010 at 4:41 p.m. she weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. I was induced that morning, labor was only 8 hours, that was very happy! It was the most amazing experience of my life! I was so glad I was able to share it with all of my family. Right after she was born I held her for a minute it was so amazing seeing this beautiful, perfect baby , then Jared held her, it was so fun to finally see Jared hold her and then we held true to our promise and let Garrett be the third one to hold her. He felt so special! She is the sweetest baby, she has the cutest cry ever, she bunches her whole face up when she cries it is very dramatic I love it! She has my feet poor girl, long and skinny she has the longest feet I have ever seen on a baby, they are so cute though! I feel so blessed to have her in my life! Motherhood has been an adjustment for me I am not used to no sleep, but I wouldn't trade it for anything! I love Brooklyn more than anything!! This little girl is my everything now, I would do anything for her. She has changed my life, I am so grateful she made it here safely!! Brooklyn we love you! Mom and Dad!
