Party Fun!

Brooke's Party was a blast!


We had yummy food, great presents and the best birthday girl I could ever ask for. The theme was fairies. I made toadstool cupcakes, and a toadstool smash cake for Brooke.

Waking up in the AM

Entertaining her guests




Uncle Duane and Aunt Maria- Blowing up the new ball pit for the kids!

Cake time! Brooke touched fire for the first time; right before we could blow out the candle! She was stunned, but after I stuck her hand in the frosting she was ok and got right into the cake- literally!









We had a great day- everything was fabulous! Thanks to everyone who came and had a chance to celebrate with us- we couldn't have done it with out you all!

Brooke's October Tricks

Brooke picked up a few more tricks this month.


Spoken words daily!

Hi...... Hi..... Hi..... Hi! Yes, she says hi now over and over and over again!

Uh Oh- Brooke likes this word the best! Playing a game she will drop a toy and say uh oh! It's cute until she drops it the fifteenth time and wants me to give it back to her! Uh Oh is right Brooke, you lost it for good!

Clapping is always fun too! Of course while saying YAY!



She knows where her nose is, where your nose is and where my nose is too!

Brooke is taking a few steps each day! She will get it soon- no need to rush; I can hardly keep up with her as it is now!

October is Ober

All I've got to say is wow! I cannot believe I was so busy in October! What a great month.

Richard had his hands full with the haunted house. building it was a giant order, and then making sure everything was working correctly. I also was there, mostly for support, but there were days I had to work as well.


We had another date night! That was great fun- Ate at a pizza shop downtown, and had a chance to ride on the scooter again!



Last weekend we took a crew to Hunsader Farm. Visited the pumpkin patch, saw the dare devils on their motor bikes doing tricks in the air, and ate A LOT of grub! I had a chance to visit the farmers market, and purchased Indian corn. I will be putting it together to make a Thanksgiving wreath.

Stunts!

The boys were good and took a great picture; Thanks guys!

The weather has been sensational for this time of year in Florida. The windows are open and the breeze is great! We have even had the chance to enjoy a few fires this month.


This year was Brooke's first Halloween, she was a fairy. I made a tutu and bought some wings and voila; the cutest fairy I have ever seen! Mom, Amy, Brooke and I went to the Mall for Mall-O-Ween! It's a great idea the children to go around to the stores to trick-or-treat. Brooke was amazed at everything going on.








We are so excited for November!
