First Swim Lesson

Brooke is already a PRO! She loved her swim class and can't wait to start swimming more.

Our little cleaner. She loves getting the Swiffer out and "helping" us clean the house. Honestly since we have to keep our house clean ALL THE TIME for the people that want to come see it, maybe having her help is not all that bad. Just as an update, we are still waiting to move into our new house. Unfortunately our house has not sold yet. I would lie if I were to say that I was not starting to get impatient.

My first ponytail...

No laughing...I agree it may be a small ponytail but it is a ponytail none the less. Sure it comes out within the first hour but I am happy that she has enough hair to even put it in.

Welcome baby Ryan

We welcomed a new baby boy into our family yesterday. Craig and Amy (Todd's brother) had a beautiful baby boy. Brooke and Emma (their daughter) are starting to become great friends. We babysat her while her mommy and daddy were at the hospital. Here is Brooke and Emma eatting dinner together and my new nephew Ryan.

Brooke Loves her Baby Dolls!

Oh my gosh! She got a baby doll set for Christmas and LOVES it! She likes to feed her baby milk and push her around in the stroller. She gets so into it and wants to make sure her baby is comfortable and warm in her stroller and baby seat.

We have to laugh at her new "smile" too. Every time we say smile when we are about to take a picture she does this adorable (well at least to us) smile.

Christmas Time

We had a wonderful (but very busy) Christmas time. Since I am so behind on my postings, I am not going to put a ton of pictures but here are some highlights...

Birthday at Christmas in the Park

November 29th was my Mom's birthday so we had our 2nd annual birthday event, Brunch at the Fairmont followed by Christmas in the Park. Christmas in the Park is a San Jose event where groups "buy" a tree that they decorate. We found it a little hard to "believe" we are in the Christmas Season though since it was 70 degree's outside!

Thanksgiving 2008

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! It was quiet but that was to be expected with everything that has recently gone on in my family. We celebrate this Thanksgiving in Honor of my Grandma who passed away a few days before Thanksgiving.

Brooke had so much fun playing with my Mom's dog Gemma. She and Brooke love to run around and by the end of the day they are both completely worn out! Brooke held the leash during most of the after dinner walk.

Trip to the Zoo

We have a Season Pass to the Oakland Zoo so we decided to take a quick afternoon trip there a couple of weeks ago. Last time we went Brooke had little interest in the animals but oh my gosh, there was a new story this time! She was going crazy pointing at the animals, especially the ones she recognizes from her books and puzzels. She was so excited that it made it nearly impossible to get a picture of her looking at the camera, she did not want to take her eyes off the animals for even a minute. It was so much fun!

By the way, did you notice that we offically have enough hair for a top of the head pony tail. Very exciting!

Halloween 2008

We had so much fun this Halloween! We went trick or treating with cousin Emma (we only made it to 4 houses before the rain started). Brooke kept trying to walk into the houses after we rang the door bell. It was so funny! She also had so much fun handing out candy to the kids that came to the door. By the way, just in case you were wondering...I had to dress up for work so I just decided to keep wearing my costume through the night. It was a great Halloween!

Our trip to the Pumpkin Farm

We went to the Pumpkin Farm with Cousin Emma, Auntie Amy & Uncle Craig. We had so much fun shopping for the perfect pumpkin. Brooke kept walking around to the HUGE pumpkins trying lift them up. She had so much fun playing with Emma and riding around in the wagon. We can't wait until Halloween!

Maui Slide Show

Our Trip to Maui

We had such a fun time in Maui. The weather was perfect and we had an amazing hotel room right on the beach. Brooke loved going for early morning walks (she still woke up every morning by 7am) and playing in the pool in the afternoon. She loved the Luau and could not get enough of the yummy food! We will definitely be taking another family vacation to beautiful Maui!

Don't forget to see the slide show above for some more great pictures.

4th of July & First Walking Pictures

On the 4th of July we were finally able to get a few pictures of Brooke walking. She is getting really good at standing up on her own and turning around.
