Pure Sweetness

I was running around the other day getting things ready for preschool and Declan was laying on his little play-mat. I heard him fuss a little and then stop, so I went in to check on him and this is what I found. Brooklyn laid next to him, told him stories, and sang him songs for the longest time. It was absolutely the sweetest thing. Brooklyn is a fantastic big sister and you can tell Declan just adores her. 

Brooklyn Loves...

This crazy little girlie makes my job as a mom and a preschool teacher way more fun. You can't put her in front of a camera without some seriously entertaining posing, and her constant commentary on life is absolutely entertaining! I LOVE, LOVE this sweet little girl and and yesterday while I was making dinner, she danced next to me while listing all the things she loves. The list was l-o-n-g and had me cracking up. Here are just a few highlights (I wrote them exactly as she said them :) ...

Brooklyn: I LOVE...

baby cows

mustaches - that is hair on your face! :)

keeping secrets

learning new things

dad - oh my freak! I mean MY dad! I don't love everybody's dad, that would just be weird.

my stickers

to feed my toys

Ducklin - I just really love him! (i.e Declan)

babies

Costumes

sparkle earrings

fruits and vegetables

buying things

painting caterpillars

Christmas

band-aids

Grandma Rudd

Grandpa Pace's hair and playing in his car

bananas - but only when my tummy hurts

birthdays - well, MY birthdays

mommy's food

flowers

puters & ipads (i.e. computers)

my best friend Katie

Snow White

adocado (i.e. avocado)

oranges - the fruit and the color, but I don't love orange as much as pink and purple. They aren't fruit though. Weird.

She went on for at least half an hour. 

Most fun I've ever had making dinner. :)

4 Months Old!

I can't believe my baby boy is already 4 months old!! We all just absolutely adore this little man. More than anything I wish that I could somehow find a way to pause time for a little bit. I'm not ready for my last baby to grow up. It's so fun to watch them grow and change, but I'm just loving this phase too much to want it to end. Seriously, look at those yummy, kissable cheeks. I could just munch on them all day! :)

Lego Fun!

Even when Cameron was little, he loved to build things. It's even more fun now that he's old enough for traditional legos. This weekend Adam and the kids (mostly Cameron) spent hours creating vehicles and buildings together. When legos are involved, Adam turns right back into a little kid too. They were designing their own creations and even looking up old instructions online. I absolutely love that it is something they enjoy doing together!

My Gorgeous Girls

The other day as Brooklyn, Anniston and I were heading out for a "Girls Only Lunch," we passed a tent selling dress-ups for $2 and $3 each. It was too good to pass up, so I let them each pick a dress. They've pretty much been wearing them daily since, but they are too cute in them for me to care. :)

Pretty much the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Period.
