Letter to Brooke

Dear Brooklyn,
I just wanted to let you know that pooping in the bathtub is so not cool! I know you think it's funny but its not when you're the one cleaning it out. You're SO grounded. haha Enough of the negative... You are so lucky to have your daddy's skin tone. You went to the beach for one week where I smothered you in 100 spf and you still got a tan. Not fair stinker!! ;)

You are the most precious little girl I have ever seen. God sure did bless us when He gave us you. You have brought so much joy to my life! I love watching you grow and change everyday. Its so funny to think of how you were so dark headed when you were born and now you're totally blonde. But you still have those beautiful big blue eyes and the greatest smile in the world! And now you have 7 teeth to add to that smile!

I love you darling!!

P90X: Day 1

Luke and I decided a while back to try P90X. We wanted to get into shape and start eating healthier. So...after a while of just saying we were going to do it...tonight we actually started P90X. I did a full hour of plyometrix! I have to say I am very proud of myself! lol I did pretty good for not having worked out in a very long time. I set a goal though to be able to do all the workouts on that video. I did as much as I could tonight but I had to modify quite a bit. I'm going to work at it so that I can do it all without modifing at all. I'm looking forward to seeing what's on the other videos in the days to come!!

Hello Out There!

Hey all! I'm new to this whole blogging thing but I thought I'd give it a shot so everyone can keep up with what Brooklyn and the rest of us are doing. It's amazing watching her grow!

This past week we've been in Florida at Navarre Beach. We love it there! It was Brooke's first time to get out of Arkansas and her first time at the beach! I can already tell she is going to be a beach babe because she loved it!! She absolutly loved playing in the sand!! She wasn't too thrilled with the ocean but it sure put her to sleep real well. She did like to play in the water in the pool. Especially to walk along the side where there was a ledge where she could stand.

She isn't walking by herself yet. She would much rather be held. She does like for me to hold her hand and let her walk everywhere. And she is talking ALL the time! She just babbles away night and day. And she can sing! haha Her Aunt Mush taught her to sing to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars. She actually carries a tune!! It's just crazy! I hope she can sing better than I can. But her daddy sings good so there is hope.

Well..There will be many more posts to come. Most will be about Brooklyn but some will just be random thoughts I have that need to be aired. Have fun reading!!
