Sleeping Beauty!

Why can't I look this cute when I sleep?

So Big

In the past few days, it seems like Hailey has been getting a lot bigger. She has been sitting up really well. She looked so cute and proud to be sitting like a big girl tonight.

Future BFF'S!

Hailey and Kaidence were finally able to meet. Our family has a lot of little boys, and then little Hailey came along! I was so happy when Kristen found out she was also having a little girl. They will be so cute together when they are older! We tried and tried to get some cute pic's of them, it seems like one was always either not looking, crying, or Hailey would roll away! Oh, well, what do you expect from babies!

Christmas Day

Christmas morning is always so exciting!! It's such a totally different excitement for parents and kids. It's great watching your kids get so excited! The boys saw their presents and went crazy! They were pretty satisfied customers!! Hailey was happy with the wrapping paper. Kyle loved the treats in his stocking, and Alex and Cam "always wanted that" after every present they opened. A few hours later, we went to visit Marcelo's dad and his wife. We don't see them all that often, yet the boys always seem quite comfortable around them...weird! After that, we went out to Brandi's for dinner. The second we got there, the power went out. We waited an hour or so, packed up all the uncooked food, and went back to my parents house to cook it and eat! Always something, right! Christmas was great, and before we know it, this year will have flown by, and we will all be out Christmas shopping again.....

Christmas......finally!

Wow, I am behind! Better late than never, right?? We went to Utah for Christmas. We left on Dec 22, in between storms according to the news, yeah right!! We had a rough start. The weather was awful, part of the freeway was closed, but after 7 hours of driving, we finally made it! The kids were so happy to get out of the car! My mom had cooked a big dinner and invited Brandi and her kids, my aunt Janeen and her family, and I was FINALLY able to meet Kristen's baby Kaidence. So Cute!! She is a few months younger than Hailey, but it's fun to think of them in a few years running around together! Anyways, back to Christmas..... on Christmas Eve, Zak came out to spend the day and night with us. We went to dinner, came home and the kids each got to open a present, pj's of course! Then the set out cookies and milk for Santa, and some carrots for the reindeer.

Holy Cereal!

Who doesn't love a deal? I know I do!! My problem is if I know it's a super good deal, I usually buy more than I would ever need or use. I ran into that problem today! Albersons's had a sale on cereal, now keep in mind we are not cereal eating people. I heard about a deal on it, so I loaded the 3 little kids in the car at 9:00 am and off we went. I got there and the store manager had tons coupons for the cereal, making it an ever better deal. I loaded up 6 cases and 4 additional boxes, making it a total of 100 boxes!!! Remember, we almost NEVER eat the stuff!! I knew Brandi would want some, and Marcelo wanted to give some to an employee of his, and yes, I know I over-bought! So I make my way to the register, people are starring of course, let them stare I thought. The store manager, who convinced me to buy more than the 60 I originally planned on, had told me they would end up being $0.34 per box, which really is a KILLER deal. So the cashier is doing her thing, and I'm watching the total get smaller, and smaller, and then I see the total. My first thought, "Brooke, you should have gotten more" Sick thought, right?? My total, tax inclued, for 100 boxes of cereal........brace yourselves....$8.24!!! That is $0.08 per box!I almost peed my pants!! Now if you think about it, she charged me wrong. There was no way I could possibly have taken any more of the poor woman's time and asked her to fix the price, so I took my goods and left.

Crazy, Isn't it??

Of course I bribbed Cameron and Kyle to be good. After I loaded all the boxes in my car, I took the kids back in to get some donuts. $6.50 later, (almost the same as the cereal) we were out of there. Kyle was wearing his!!! I swear he gets more on his face and clothes and in his mouth sometimes.

My mom caught Alex trying on "hot sauce" (that's her wigs name). He is a sneaky little guy, and thought he was super funny. He looks so funny!! (and kinda cute!)

Who needs toys when you have toes?
Happy baby!

And if your takind Hailey's picture, Ky has to be in one of course....
