Fun pictures

Here are some fun pictures of Brooklyn. She is such a sweet baby! I still need to play around with editing them..but it's late and Rob needs the computer! (So what do you think about the bows? I have had fun experimenting with making bows lately and these are my latest...I'll post more later. )

And this pictures sums up our day! Brooklyn has had some ROUGH nights (translation.... waking up every 2 hours...) so we just stayed at home today while Rob went to the library to work on his school final. This is Ava's fingerpainting masterpiece...some might wonder where she got the paint??? Mommy's makeup bag (I didn't find this out till later!) This particular masterpiece has tinted lotion and mascara! What an artist!

One of those days...

Today has been such a long day...when it rains it pours. Our Honda is sitting in pieces in the garage (don't worry it's fixable with a few tools and TIME...we hope), we have a huge hole in our washer door (we just found out from the Sears man that we bought one of the worst washer and dryers ever made...and now we have no idea how to fix it!) and both girls have gotten up between 4-6 times during the night for the last three nights. Oh and did I mention we still don't have a job? Let's see....I think that's about it! But how can life be bad when you get to look at these precious faces all day?

This is how Brooke watched me get ready this morning. Doesn't she look so grown up???

She is such a happy baby
Daddy's girls....He is one lucky man!
I went to get Ava some water before bed and this is what I saw when I came back. Ava had kindly given Brookly one of her Binkys and was reading her a story! Ava is such a great big sister!

a little update

Here are a few pictures of the last few weeks. We have had fun going to hot August nights, swimming at the Klinglers pool and Lake Tahoe, playing at the park, and the fair. (The best part is it's all been FREE!) So far we haven't had any luck job hunting....but all we need is one yes! We have both been rather stressed, but we are trying to have fun at the same time!

Here is Ava checking out the monster truck at Hot August nights.

Jackson and Ava enjoying their drinks on the beach Tonight the admission to the Nevada State fair was free, so we decided to take part! We got GREAT parking (that's what happens when you are unemployed and can get to the gates right at 5:00!) They had a huge area with activities just for kids. At one booth, they mixed cement into a little tray (to make a paver) and then the kids could "decorate" them with pretty rocks. Ava loved this part...and when Rob tried to help her she told him "no!"
They had a great reptile exhibit with frogs, snakes, lizards, turtles, and an alligator! Here is Ava checking out an enormous toad.
Not too sure about the albino snake....
Brooklyn enjoyed the fair as well...snuggled up to mommy, sleeping the whole time!
Then of course there were the pigs, cows, "cockaroos" (chickens), a dog show, and "bummy's" (bunnies)! Both girls were so good, and we had a great time as a family!

Are two year olds to be enjoyed or endured?

Camera

I've had a few people ask what kind of camera I have...It's a Canon XTi Rebel. And I have the best lens ever.... a 50 mm f1/4. Thanks to my sweet hubby for letting me get such a great camera!

A Gigantic Post

We went to Idaho last week to bless Brooklyn in Murtaugh. We spent an entire week in Idaho so I have tons of pictures. And since Rob studies all night and I'm bored and have plenty of time once the girls go down, I put up a ton of pictures for your viewing pleasure! We had so much fun seeing all our cousins and Aunts and Uncles. Thanks everyone for coming down to the blessing. It was so fun to have so many family members there! Thanks Grandma Moyes for making such a yummy meal afterwards for us all to enjoy!
