Tired Baby

As many of you know, the late schedule for church is rough on toddlers. (I feel sorry for those nursery leaders! I know they are sent extra blessings!) With no time for a nap by the end of the day Brooklyn is pretty grouchy! (Can't say I blame her.) After church we made dinner and fought Brooklyn to get into her high chair. She was crying and didn't want to get in. Tyler said, "Do you want to eat?" Brooklyn replied back through her tears, "No." Then he said, "Do you want to go to bed?" "Yes," Brooklyn said. Not realizing she was serious and actually understood the questions we forced her into her chair. After eating her mashed potatoes, 10 minutes later she looked liked this:

Easter, Easter, Easter, Easter!!

As if our little girl isn't spoiled enough, this year she got to have 4 Easters!! Tyler's school had an "Easter Break" so we were able to go out to Utah and spend the Holiday with family. I have to admit, of course- Tyler and I were spoiled too!

Easter 1

The Easter Bunny came early to our house because he knew we were leaving. ;0) He left an Easter Basket full of goodies and activities to do on the airplane. Brooklyn's favorite was a Care-Bear Movie.

Easter 2- Grandma & Grandpa Gibson

The Easter Bunny had filled the basement with eggs for the grand kids to find. (And because Brooklyn is the only grandchild, she had a lot of eggs to find!) She got a cute little back pack FILLED with loot. My favorite part was after finding an egg, Brooklyn would open each one and say, "ANNY!" (Candy!)

Easter 3- Woodworth Family Party

Every year the Woodworth Family gets together for an Easter Egg Hunt and for some good quality family bonding time! LeGrand and his family ditched us for some quality bonding time of their own in Florida. We missed them, but I'm sure they were having a blast! I don't know who had more fun finding eggs, Tyler or Brooklyn!

Easter 4- Grandma & Grandpa Woodworth

Easter Sunday we were at Grandma & Grandpa Woodworth's. The Easter Bunny stopped there too! Brooklyn was mostly interested in the stuffed Bunny- which left a lot of candy for Tyler and me!!

Brooklyn wouldn't hold still long enough to get a shot of her Easter Dress, this is the best we got.

Easter was a blast! Holidays are always better when you have family around. Thanks everybody for all the fun!!

Some Updates.... Finally!

Yes, yes I know this is long over due. We've been on some exciting adventures and I always get overwhelmed when I don't blog for awhile because then it takes so long to update it. Hopefully I'll do better and keep up with all of our adventures.

At the end of February Tyler had Spring Break and we headed out to Utah! It was Grandpa's Birthday and Brooklyn found the presents before Grandpa did! She loves to help!



Later, Grandpa couldn't resist and let her help him open up the rest.



Tyler's family came to see us and we all had a blast! Brooklyn LOVES her cousins!!



We found Uncle Austin's old rocking horse. Brooklyn wasn't quite sure of it at first, but loved it by the time we left!
And she couldn't get enough of Shadow (the dog)! He gets so jealous of Brooklyn and all the attention she takes away from him. He happily gave her Good-by kisses!

Then a couple weeks later we met my sister and her husband in CHICAGO for the weekend! We had a blast! The city was amazing and SO much more than we expected. We went to the Navy Pier, walked down the "Magnificent Mile" Shopping street, hung out, ate Chicago Pizza, and swam. There is simply just too much to do in Chicago for one weekend! Maybe we'll have to go again! Any takers?

With all of these adventures and photo op moments, Brooklyn became well known with the camera. If she gets a hold of the camera she holds it up to her eye and says, "Cheese!" This is a pic that she took (with a little bit of daddy's help).

We've had so much fun the last few weeks and have a lot more fun coming up! Hopefully I won't be such a slacker in the blogging world and can get them posted! Thanks everyone for the fun times!
