Silly Girl!!!

Brooke has given us a lot of laughs:) She is saying some of the funniest things and also does some funny things. She is such a little busy body but we are enjoying it. She has been such a great big sis and loves that Brayden is starting to smile. She is working on her ABCs, counting and colors and is doing a pretty good job. Here are a few pictures of what she has been up to lately. When I nurse Brayden she can get in a lot of trouble in that little amount of time:)

Brooke puts on her own makeup:)
Playing in the snow!! Got very mad when she could not walk in it very well.

Brayden 1 Month

Brayden is already a month old:( Oh my where has the time gone. Here are a few pictures of him at about a month. He is a happy baby and is starting to smile and coo. Brooke is still a really good big sister and is such a big help for mommy. It is still hard to believe that we have 2 kids but we are loving every minute and are trying to soak it all in. If you are around our way come by and visit:) Now that we are almost to 2 months i will post those pictures soon. Hope you enjoy!!!

Bath time was not his favorite thing but is starting to enjoy.

No clothes:)

Our baby boy!!!!

Most of you probably know by now but we had a baby boy Brayden Hoyt 8lbs 12oz on August 25. I have to say he is such a wonderful baby and Brooke is a great big sister!!! We are all adjusting to the new life and have to say we are so blessed!!! Sorry so long to post pics but the computer was acting out and things have been a little busy.

Frontier Days!!!

We took the kids to frontier days and they had a great time. Here are a few pictures that I got while they were riding the rides. Brooke has enjoyed seeing her cousins although she does not like to share with them. I have to say I have not got a picture of the baby yet but she is soooo cute!!! I can not believe how summer is flying by but hope everyone is having a great one!

Summer Fun!!

We have been enjoying the sun!! Here are a few pictures of Brooke playing outside. She is getting so big. She is pretty well potty trained, the only time she wears pull ups is at night!!! We had a hard time with going #2 but she has overcome that and is doing great. I am feeling good just fat. I only have about 5 weeks left which is great! Brian has been busy getting ready for harvest and remodeling another room in the house. Our family is doing great and we will keep you posted on the new baby!! Hope everyone is having a great summer.

Brooke loves bubbles!!!

Swimming!!

In this picture she came out of the bathroom saying pretty. She had taken my mascara and tried to put it on. FYI it is hard to get it off I don't think i will buy waterproof any more:)

Baby!!

Here are a few pictures from our ultrasound. It took a long time to get them on because i could not get my scanner to work. It is a surprise and I can not wait to find out what it is. I only have about 5 weeks left and then I will post new pics of the baby. We are very excited and I am feeling pretty good.

Brooke turns 2!!!

I can not believe that it has already been two years. The time goes by so fast. This year was so fun for Brooke. She got some really great gifts and everyone got a laugh out of her opening her presents. I tried to show some pictures of what she did as she opened her gifts. She got a lot of clothes which is great and when she opened them she just flung them out of the bags. When she opened a new coat she had to put it on and the same was with a pair of John Deere boots she got. Then she wanted to go around and show everyone. She also got a couple of books and she would have liked to just stop opening everything and sit down and read them. After she opened some of the gifts we had to take the present away so she could go onto the next one. We had a great time and she made everyone laugh. I just can not believe that she is already 2.

She loved her farm cake!!!
She did a great job blowing but the candle would not go out so she added a little spit:)

Putting on the new coat!!

Digging out the clothes!!

Oh and she got a new baby which she LOVES babies!!

Sitting and reading her new book!! So sweet!!

Graduation!!!!!

Wow!!!! What a long journey this has been and I am so glad that it is over. On May 9th I finally graduated. I am so glad to be done with school and am just ready to be a mom and wife full time. I am not going to teach right away, I am just planning on staying home with Brooke and the new baby. I am so blessed that I am able to do that. I would like to substitute teach a little here and there but for now I just want a break. I have to say that Brian has been such a great husband as I finished up school. In the fall semester I had night class and he took over cooking supper, bathing Brooke, and putting her to bed. In the spring semester I student taught so he became Mr. Mom full time. I know this was a big job but he did such a great job and the two of them really bonded. I know I could of not done it without his support. I am so lucky I have such a great husband!!! Anyway here are some pictures from graduation.

My dad and his wife were able to make it!!

Friends that I traveled with from Torrington!!

My supporters!!!

Baby Calf!!!

We had a few sets of twins and this is one Brooke got to feed for a short time. After we were done feeding it we put the bottle up and the calf came up and was trying to suck on Brooke's coat so that kind of scared her. He was nudging her pretty hard and she almost fell over, but it was cute. She really enjoyed it and loves going and seeing the cows. She is quite the little helper for daddy!!!

Making us smile!!!

Here are just a few pictures of random things. Here you can see that she is helping me make sugar cookies. She loves to help and dump in the ingredients. When we were mixing the dough I turned my back to put something in the sink and when I turned around she put a whole egg, shell and all in the mixer and I was to late getting it out. I spent some time picking the shell out and am sure I did not get it all out but we will see. The things she does makes us laugh!!!

Brooke making sugar cookies!!

She loves to wear my glasses and as you can see she is drooling chocolate!!!

Big Belly!!!!

Here are just a few belly shots. I am half way done with my pregnancy!!! Wow how the time has flew by. I am sure it has gone by fast beings I am still student teaching and when I am at home I am chasing Brooke. I am showing a lot sooner then when I was pregnant with Brooke. Everyone says you show sooner with your second one so I guess that is true. We go in for our first and only ultrasound if everything looks good on the 17th and as of now we are not finding out the sex of the baby.

Brooke is going to be a BIG SISTER!!!

Yes, Brooke is going to be a big sister!!! Her sibling is to arrive around August 28. I am about 4 months pregnant and am finally starting to feel better. There for awhile I felt pretty sick. Brooke seems really excited and we are sure she will make a good big sister. Brooke is getting so big. She says so many words and even is starting to form sentences. She is becoming a daddy's girl. I am student teaching at Baggs Elementary school in Cheyenne in the 6th grade and have already completed my time with the 2nd grade. Beings I am gone all day she spends the day with Daddy calving cows and doing chores. She loves the cows and prefers to go with daddy even if I am home:( Brian is busy calving cows and is enjoying spending time with his little girl. We both can not believe that she will be 2 in may and how fast time has gone. Here is also a little video. I finally got Brooke to sit down long enough to get this video. She is so busy all the time and she wants to be the one behind the camera. Well we hope to be better about posting pictures and hope everyone is doing well!!!
