Sweet Berkley

Our happy girl after church one Sunday in November

Christmas Pictures

While we were stranded at home a few weeks ago we decided to have a photoshoot! The girls did really well...considering we were in the backyard.

I used marshmellows to bribe Brookelynn...this was at the end, after she had been rewarded

Our sweet Berkley, she is such a happy baby!

Banana with Santa

At the beginning of November we headed to Abilene so that Bailey could hunt and the girls went to Christmas Carosel. It was fun! We saw lots of cute things and we went to "Breakfast with Santa" on Saturday morning. We thought it would be so fun too...but...breakfast wasn't really breakfast...it was A banana! That is NOT breakfast to me...especially a $12/person breakfast! Well, it wasn't what we had expected but it was a fun memory! We were still hungry after we left so we headed to La Popular and had a delicious breakfast for about $5.

There was also a puppet show, craft and carnival in addition to the banana and Santa. Brookelynn was a little young for the craft and carnival.Berkley was ok with Santa at the beginning...

Then she got upset and Brookelynn didn't want to get close to him

Brookelynn wanted her picture in front of the vintage Carosel.

My newest adventure!!

I went to my first Thirty-One party on November 4th and I was hooked! I fell in love with all of the bags so since I couldn't buy all of them I decided to sell them to all of my friends!

Happy Halloween

We had such a fun Halloween! We missed Bailey while we were trick or treating but Brookelynn seemed to really enjoy it, she loves spending time with her best friend Brynn!

This could be one of my all time favorite pictures of Brynn and Brookelynn. We got about 8 more after this shot of them being really silly.

The baby trick or treaters. Sweet Ethan was a sleeping pumpkin!

Me and my girls!

Later we found the big babies in the stroller...

The last picture of my little bugs!

Fall Festival

We went to our church's fall festival with the Selfs on Wednesday. This was the first year that we went with the girls! We had a great time!

Baylor Homecoming 2010

We headed to Waco again this year for Baylor Homecoming! We arrived in Waco early Saturday morning to see the parade. When we arrived it was sprinkling a little bit but it stopped when we found a spot to watch. We found Mom, Dad and Jenn then we immediately saw the Evans! Brooke had saved a great spot for Brookelynn to watch with her! They were so cute in their matching cheerleader outfits.

Brookelynn loved all of the floats!

My sweet husband and his big girl!

Our family

After the parade we headed to the bookstore...

Then we headed to the game....We were having so much fun when we walked up to the stadium and even found our seats...but then it started raining! And pouring!!! Right before the rain started all of the students around us started screaming, pointing and running. It was chaos! (They were pointing at the wall of rain heading our way!) In all of the craziness we were seperated from my mom, who had Berkley. While we were all getting drenched, all I could think about was my little 4 month old baby getting drenched too...only I wasn't with her and I couldn't make sure that she was ok. Brookelynn was being such a big girl as she was soaked to the bone. We walked to the car to seek shelter in hopes that Mom and Berkley would come soon after. Well...1-1/2 hr later...we still couldn't find Mom and Berkley! I tried to stay calm...after all my baby was with my mom...but I started getting a little worried. When we finally found Mom she was having such a great time...talking to new friends...telling them how she had just spent the last hour with the Baylor football team in their LOCKER ROOM!! The Lord put her in the right place at the right time...as it started raining someone in the locker room looked out the side door and saw my mom holding my little baby and they invited her in! She was the only 'non-team member' that was in there! Thanks Bears for taking care of my Mom and baby Berkley!

If we would have been all together after the rain started we would have probably gotten a hilarious 'soaked' group picture...but it wasn't funny at the time! :) Here is our tired wet Brookelynn as she waits for Gigi and Berki.

Fun times...I don't think we will ever forget Homecoming 2010!

Silly Sisters

Brookelynn doesn't like to miss much these days so she sits with Berkley when we change her diaper. Here are just a few moments that I could let pass by...

Coco

Another ranch weekend!! This time we got to meet the newest addition to the ranch...Coco.

Bailey and Brookelynn resting their eyes on the hammock.

Brookelynn riding Coco for the first time. This was the first of MANY rides to come!

Pumpkin patch

While we were in Abilene we visited the pumpkin patch with mom. Brookelynn has been loving the pumpkins this fall. When we run to the park we see how many we can see on everyone's front porches.

We are still working on getting some precious sister pictures...this one was close.

We even went on a hay ride and the girls had a great time! Thanks mom for taking this cute picture of me and my girls!

Sweet moments

Here are just a few pictures that we have taken over the past month.

Brookelynn in the strawberry outfit...

Here is Berkley in the same outfit! It is crazy to see the difference in the girl's size! Brookelynn was so much taller than Berkley is. Brookelynn was month old when she fit in to this outfit and Berkley was 3 months old when she wore it. My sweet girls!

Bailey with his girls. They can be found here most nights.

Berkley in Brookelynn's "B" outfit.

Brookelynn was helping me pose Berkley. :)

Berkley loves the exersaucer! She has had enough of the bouncy seat. She loves to sit up and look at all of these cool toys. She only wishes that she could reach all of them with her mouth!
