Random cuteness

Brooklyn looks so small and cute when we put her on the giant lovesack!










We thought Brooklyn still was so teeny, until we put her next to baby Jaydn (Erika and Jordan's little boy) just a few days after he was born. Jadyn was born almost the axact same weight and length as Brooklyn, so we were able to see that she has grown quit a bit! Good job Brooklyn!
A few more cute pics of what I get to look at every day!












Here are two videos. They are probably not as exciting to you all as they are to us, but I thought I'd post them anyways. The first one is of the first time we put Brooklyn in her little bouncer seat. She was absolutely fixated on the little toy attachments! It cracked us up! And the second one is of Brooklyn talking to me. It's a video of over a month ago! So she talks even more now, I'll try to post a more current talking video soon, but for now, this'll do.

Fourth of July

I know, she's the cutest little thing you've ever seen, right? At least that's what i think! So, we found this little shirt at Old Navy a few weeks before the 4th and we thought it would be the perfect outfit for her very first Fourth of July! I know I should've taken alot more picture of what we actually did that day, cause we did lots of fun things, but I didn't. I did, however, get some super cute pics of Brooklyn. So, for her fist Fourth of July, we went to the Freedom Parade that takes place every year here in Provo. We walked to Brian's old office where they give out pancakes and hotdogs to the parade watchers around every year. Brian helped make the food, and I enjoyed eating it! haha, and Brooklyn enjoed all the passerbys that were admiring her cuteness!


Then, we had a fun BBQ with some friends at our house. Brian can make a pretty tasty hamburger. And then that night we went up to BYU campus and watched the Stadium of Fire fireworks. We were a little worried that Brooklyn might freak out when they started going off, but she loved it! She jumped at the loud BOOM of the first few, but then she just sat still, fixated on the bright lights in the sky for the whole rest of the show. She must take after me, I absolutely LOVE fireworks!






Isn't she getting so long?!?! Is it possible that Brian and I might have a tall child....?











Brian with his little sparkler. He adores her!

Baby blessing

We were very lucky to have so much family with us for Brooklyn's baby blessing. We had a big family event that same weekend, so my parents and siblings (except for Matt and Tawny who were expecting a baby any day) were all here for the blessing and it was a wonderful weekend! Brian's Grandma had made a blessing dress for Brooklyn that was absolutely adorable, we are thinking of using it for all of our little girls' (assuming we have more little girls) blessings.

Brooklyn's dress was very long! and very beautiful!




Grandma Nelson made these adorable
little booties, and a white blanket for the blessing day! Thanks Grandma Nelson! After everyone was gone I laid Brooklyn down and within minutes she was out! It was an eventful day and she was exhausted.
Me, Brian and Brooklyn after the blessing.

Sam and Alex are the cutest little boys ever!! They took bathes at my house and came out in their little towels. They looked so cute, I just had to get a picture!

Lindsie stayed a few extra days in Utah and we got so spent some fun time together. Brooklyn loved snuggling with Lindsie and Lindsie loved holding and playing with Brooklyn. It was a nice little break for me :)
