Brooklyn got her ears peirced!!!

We took Brooklyn to get her ears pierced. I was originally going to wait until she could ask for them so I can explain to her that it hurts and to make sure it is something that she wants, but then I was at the mall one day and I passed by Claire's so then I was like lets just get this over with, better for her to go through it now where she wont remember a thing then later when she will remember how bad it hurts. So of coarse I had to wait for John to get off of work and than later that night we went back to the mall.

Here is Brooklyn just got out of the car and so excited to be out of the house.

At Claire's getting all sugared up before anything happens.

She found some things that she wanted to hold on to. No we didn't buy them for her the staff was nice enough to let her go around the store and hold on to a few things.

First one done.

Next one done.

And right after just outside of Claire's.

She did so good I had to take her on the train that they have at the mall.
Here she is so excited to get on the train she is handing the lady her ticket.

waiting to depart

and off they go

Here she is the day after and she is one happy camper just got done eating a orange.

I just love this girl so much. She just looks so girly now with her earrings and has done really good and hasn't touched her ears at all.

Disney Trick or Treat

Last night we went to the Disneyland Trick or Treat. Even though it rained the first hour we got there and drizzled off and on through the night we still had so much fun. Brooklyn loved dressing up when she was all ready I showed her in the mirror and she started laughing at herself, it was so cute.

Here are a few before Disneyland Pictures

Big Update(but pictures to come)

I know you want pictures but you will have to wait. I still need to upload them and my computer is so slow right now. But in the meantime here is what has happened

Wow it has been a long time since I have updated and a lot of things have happened since. We found out in July we were expecting another baby. We also were able to go to the Budge Family Reunion in Utah, it was so fun to see everyone and to get to know everyone a little better. After the reunion I started to get morning sickness really bad which was really bad timing since I had been planning a 1st Birthday party for Brooklyn, which was in August. Luckily my sister in law Julie helped me out so much with the decorations and even going grocery shopping for me to get the food that was going to be served. I was so grateful to have so much help the day of the party, my sister came down from Arizona and stayed with me so she helped a ton the day of. Brooklyn started walking 3 weeks after her birthday and by the 4th week she was Pro and hasn't been able to sit still since. I have since baby proofed the whole house cause I was tired of cleaning up mess after mess. She would literally go from one room to the next pulling out everything out drawers, cupboards and anything she could get her little hands on. Just as I would finish cleaning one room she would have another room destroyed and off to the other. It was very tiring but I have learned and since put locks on everything. In September we went to the LA County Fair a lot. My mom has worked at the Fair pretty much my whole life so we always went to the fair when we were kids. I am so excited to take my kids every year now and cant live without going to the fair. It was so fun to get out of the house after being sick for so long, Brooklyn really enjoyed being out. October, My birthday is in this month and I have been really spoiled this year. My in laws had got tickets to see the Phantom Of the Opera for me and John. It was so much fun, I really enjoyed the play. John had got me a brand new camera and I am so excited to start taking pictures of Brooklyn my self. This month we also found out that Brooklyn is going to have a little Sister. We couldn't be more thrilled to have another little girl.

Why I Hate Summer!!

As it starts warming up outside I find more and more of these creatures in my house. I hate the heat too but please don't chill with me in my house.

So there is actually a story behind this picture.....

One morning as I was getting ready for the day I was at the kitchen table putting on my make-up and Brooklyn was down on the floor. Well I happen to look down as she was crawling away and this guy was right underneath her. I screamed and picked her up to search her legs to see if it bit her and after I found nothing on her I looked back down and it was gone. After jumping around just to make sure it didn't crawl up me I searched the area to find it under a furniture piece which is when I captured this photo cause I wanted evidence of the spider just in case I found a bite on Brooklyn later on. I have chills down my back just thinking about it.

On the Move

Random Pics and 9 months

Brooklyn turned 9 months this month. I cant believe its already been that long it sure has gone by so fast. She is getting so big and more and more independent these days. Although she refuses to crawl she sure does no how to get around either from scooting or crying until I move her in the spot she wants to go. She is saying new word all the time and just soaks up everything I tell her. She is my little sponge. She now says Mama, Dada, Papa, Nana for Night Night, Baba for bottle, and has been saying wow wow for Dog. She loves for me to read books to her every night and just sits and listens as I am reading them. I am going to start taking her to the public library for the bouncing baby story time program. She has also started to climb up on furniture and has been walking around the furniture as well. This is such a fun stage and I love that she is always such a smiley and happy baby. Here is a picture overload starting back from Easter Sunday.

Brooklyn got an easter basket from the easter bunny. I was surprised when she knew how to tear it open.
