Love is this little girl

Sledding....

soon we hope to take her to a sledding hill, we are sure she will have FUN!  For now, our backyard is still fun...Daddy goes fast and sometimes she goes flying off the sled!  She laughs and laughs and then realizes how cold and wet her hands and face feel!

Snow, snow, and more snow!

We are in for another snowstorm this week, seems like we got enough for awhile, but who am I?  Maybe we will get a snow day????  Brooke had so much fun playing in the snow...this is the most we've had in 2011 so far! 

It was a snowy Saturday!

We didn't go to Dance class...stayed home...it was nice to be warm in the house. 

"I love you a TON"

"I love you, you, you, you and you!!!! "

This girl has so much LOVE to give! Thank you Brooke for all your love....you give the best hugs and the biggest smiles. 

Silly little fish...before leaving for swim class

She is enjoying her swim class so much!  It is such a good time for Daddy Daughter bonding. 

Jump! Jump!

We were getting ready for swim class and Brooke needed to jump! Get that energy out, girl! 

How does she have so much energy?

We love you and all your energy, Brooke!!!! 

Scrapbook Retreat

I went on a retreat at Bay Shore Camp this past weekend.  It was nice to get away, but I sure did miss my girl! 

Thanks Leann for inviting me.  I really enjoyed myself and it was fun to spend time with you. 

Sweet Dreams...

LOVE how she tucks them into bed!

Thank you Miss Leslie

My friend, Leslie from work gave me a flannel board she was not using anymore and I knew Brooke would love it for her Toy Story flannel pieces.  Sure enough....we used her flannel characters and played Toy Story right when we got home from school!!!  She had to put on a Jessie shirt and put bows in her hair.  She wanted both bows in her hair...that's why it looks a little funny, her hair isn't long enough for pigtails anymore.

Moon Dough

Brooke got this from her friend Jenna.  She really likes it.  It has a different feel than playdough.  It is a little messy, but if we sit with her and help her keep it under control it really is fun.  The molds are cool, and real easy for her to make.  We made a squirrel, a house, a tree, and 2 kids with the molds.

So messy, yet so FUN!

Blue...then let's mix some yellow in there...

Now it's green..."see Mama!"

A little red and a little blue...such a funny squirt noise! Now it's purple.

Mixing colors.....slimey and gooey! Lovin' every minute of it.

Fancy pretzels for a treat

I got these peppermint white chocolate covered pretzels as a teacher gift for Christmas, so I've been sharing....she LOVES them!  She has such a sweet tooth- just like her mama! ;)

McDonald's Playplace

After swim class last Wednesday we took Brooke to McD's for dinner.  She had a blast with a brother and sister who played "hide and seek" with her.  They were both so patient with Brooke and helped her hide and also helped her to count when it was her turn.  It was so fun for her to have someone else besides us to play with.
