Baby Brooke

My little buddy is 2!!

So many emotions in this picture. I had no idea what I had in store. The joys, fears, excitement, frustration, and other emotions that I have experienced as a mom. It is definitly the greatest calling on earth. Hardest, but greatest. At times I feel overwhelmed and not qualified, but then I get a hug from Brooke and she tells me that she loves my guts more and suddenly life is ok.

I took the following shots in Duncan for her 2 year pictures-love my little model!

She could hardly take her hands away from her nose because the smell from

the dairy farm was so strong!! I don't blame her...I could hardly breathe...haha

These pictures of Brooke's birthday parties are a little out of order but you'll get the idea...

She got a piggy bank for her bday and loved filling it up,

but got mad when she couldn't get the money out!! WHAT?!

Braden LOVED singing with the kids at her party-he was beaming!

I must admit, I love my little girl!

~She loves to sing! Her new favorite song is the star spangled banner and she sings it ALL DAY LONG! She also loves to sing I love to see the temple, I am a child of God, Daughter of a King, My Heavenly Father Loves me.

~She is a great helper with her brother. She doesn't come running to me to tattle, but will try to help him out of the situation he is in.

~She talks amazingly well. Her vocabulary is huge.

~She loves to recite the ABC's and count.

~She keeps us laughing and on our toes. I can't wait for the next year of growth.
