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.
