Guess Who's Back!

Hey All! Did you miss us? Well, don't fear we are here!! Brandon and I had kinda fallen off the Blogging radar, but we are back! Well, I'm back. Brandon just reads. He never contributes a post but, maybe I can talk him into it. He is always getting on me about updating the blog, when he could just as easily do it himself! (Ahem....enough of that soap box!)

So here it goes, a lot has happened since we last posted. Lets start with the most fun our our little trio here in AZ, Brooklynn. Our sweet baby turned 1 years old April 1st. I cannot believe she is already almost 16 months old! Where does the time go? She has really come into her own. She has her fathers personality. She is funny, and makes me laugh everyday. She can be so sweet, but she can also be very rotten! (Wonder where she gets that from...) She LOVES to read books. She will bring them to you all day long if you let her. She has also come to know DORA! She already has an obsession, it's not good, but it is cute for now. She says so many words. Of course her favorite ones right now are DORA, This? and NO! She also loves to say Baby, ball, Da Da, Ma Ma, Shoes, juice and my favorite, Cracker. She also makes a growling noise for every animal she sees. Oh, but probably the cutest thing she does right now is fake yawning! She has a book with a fairy that gets very sleepy and is yawing in a picture, and whenever Brooklynn sees the picture, she does the yawn. It is so stinking cute. She also loves to dance. She loves any kind of music that will give her a beat, and she will twirl, and stomp her feet. She is also such a water baby. She loves to go swimming, which is good since we live in AZ, we can go just about all year round! She is our little "Love Bug" and we just can't get enough of her!

OK, now on to Brandon. He is dutifully going to school everyday. He's pushing through PA school like a champ! He is almost finished with his didactic year. His finals are next week. Then he has 3 weeks off and we are going to ID for a Vaca!!! Yay for us! He has done really well with the tough schedule that you get in PA school. However, He always seems to find time for Brooklynn and I. He spends a lot of time with us and I am so grateful for him. Also, when he can, he really enjoys to get out and play basketball with some of the guys from his class. I am so proud of him! I am excited for this next year to start for him. He is going to be in his clinical year, so he will actually be dealing with patients, and not having to sit through lecture for hours out of the day!

As for me....Well, I love my job. I couldn't ask for anything else in the world than to be a stay at home mom to my lovely little girl. It is a 24/7 job, and I am "on-call" all the time, but it is so rewarding. Brooklynn makes it easy for the most part. Like I said before, she is coming into her own, so she is starting to throw little tantrums, but her good points of the day out-weigh the not so good points. I am also able to fulfill my crafting bug! My excitement most days comes from creating cute new bows to go in Brooklynn's hair. I have also picked up jewelry making. I make her bracelets, and necklaces to go with her outfits. She is dressed to the nines everyday, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It is my passion/obsession to make her as cute as possible!

Shew! Now, that was an update! I hope it wasn't to wordy for all of you. I pinky promise to keep this bloggin going! It is to much work to always be playing catch-up! Just like house work....it is much easier to keep things up if you work on it everyday. So, I'm not saying I will have something to post everyday, but I will be posting more often! Also, I promise to post pictures next time, and fewer words!
