Merry Christmas!

Hats

One night when Brian was at a football game, Brooks and I were playing in his room. He found the drawer with all his hats, so we had to put them all on.

However, this is the only one that made him cry (MS State)...sorry Pop!

Mommy Turns the Big 3-0!!!

I turned the big 3-0 a week and 2 days after Brooks' birthday! You would think that I would have had as much fun as I could during the last few days of my twenties. That I did...Brooks' first week of his second year and the last week of my twenties was revolved around changing diapers!!!! And I mean, A LOT of them! Brooks got ROTAVIRUS (yes, he got the vaccine)! It was awful...I felt so sorry for our sweet angel. Thankfully, it ran its course, and he was all go for the weekend. Brian is the best gift giver and so thoughtful! He surprised me with Sugarland tickets (love, love, love them!!!!). The concert was awesome! Brian even enjoyed it, and he is not that much of a country fan! That Jennifer Nettles is one cool chic! And...after church the next day, Brian invited several of my friends over for a little surprise party! I honestly had no idea...it was great!!! Brian and my girls did a great job of planning and cooking some great treats! Thanks honey! It was a great weekend, which was a good thing because Sunday night I spent up all night sick! I caught the ROTA! so, my actual bday and several days afterward were quite miserable!

Jack insisted that we put all 30 candles on...

Monkeying Around for Brooks' Big Day!

Brooks' first birthday party was a ton of fun! We were so glad to spend his special day with our friends and family! He loved his birthday cake and has been a chocoholic since! He gets that from his Mommy for sure!

Been Too Long!

Yes, we are still here! Between the rotavirus, having a couple of ear infections, tubes, the computer being down for a couple of weeks and the holidays, I have been terrible at keeping our blog updated! I'm going to spend the next few days trying to catch up. To start from the earliest, our sweet angel turned one! I'm honestly not sure at all about where the time went! As sad as I am that it is going by so quickly, I am loving this fun time with him. The boy is such a hoot! We are so very blessed in life and thank the Lord every day for the amazing family and friends that we have! Brooks is truly the light of our life, and Brian and I look at each other every day and talk about how much we love him! We are so grateful that he is such a smart and healthy little boy! At his one year checkup his statistics were: 23 pounds (55 percentile) and 30 3/4 inches (75 percentile)...such a big boy!
