Tow Mater

There are serious perks to small towns and old trucks!! For the Cars 2 opening night s guy from Gunnison made this adorable Mater...the boys LOVE LOVED it, what am i kidding i loved it and so has everyone driving through Gunnison!
We decided to take Ky to his first movie in the theaters to see Cars 2. He did a relatively good job. I was worried he would be super naughty, especially cause we went to the 9PM showing, but he did so good. He loved it and now all we hear about is "Mater".
Here he is in all his glory. We could not get Kyler to smile for the life of us, there was too many people, way to excitement i think for the little boy...but he loved it, even if it doesn't show in the pictures. He was scared to death to sit on him, that is why mom and dad had to hold him.

My nephew Hueston...cutest little smile!

I have to be honest the only excited face we got on camera is because of a horse trailer driving by full of horses

Ready for the movie to start...it was dark and the flash was really bright...hence the deer in the headlights look on both boys faces
Kyler was a hoot to watch during the movie. We got popcorn to help keep him settled, and he would not take his eyes off the screen, even to get the popcorn on the little tables they have (like the tables that chairs have in college). He was glued. I had almost as much fun watching him as i did watching the movie. 

One Month

I'm a little slower at writing her monthly posts than i was with Ky...maybe it has to do with the fact that I have a rambunctious 2 year old to care for now, or maybe that i am working all day this time, or maybe that i am super duper more tired this time around compared to when i had Ky (the last, I'm sure, being caused by the first two).
So here is a little about my little lady at one month. . . . .
*First and foremost. . .This little beauty.......slept 6 hours straight last night. (yes, she is only 5 weeks and sleeping "through the night" bless her, bless her, bless her, bless her!! :)

*she is affectionately called: Little Miss, Brookilyn, Brookie, Sister, Chatter Chin (more on this later), Chubba Chubba, Brook a boo boo, Brookie Rue, and many many more, but those are the most common.
*She has the cutest curly hair, but it is impossible to get it to stay curly...it goes straight and sticks straight up within an hour or so.
*I cant go anywhere, ANYWHERE without her bring ohhhed and ahhhhed at. All that hair is quiet the attraction!
*The reason for Chatter Chin, nickname...because this girl has the most chattery chin i have ever seen. She isn't cold, i promise, she does it when she is happy, sad, crying, mad, or bored. :) It cracks us up.
*She still is the gruntin-ness little girly ever. She grunts all night long and drives me and Brandon up the wall.
*She flinches when her little brother comes near :) but also is so content when he comes to talk to her, its a bitter sweet relationship...
*The last two days she has started taking a binki, we are praying it continues!!
*She is chunking out seriously! We love our Chub a Lub
*She sleeps like her big brother did. . .  .meaning she sleeps all the time. She does get on a strange schedule a couple days a week where she will sleep all day one day, rarely even eating, and then the next day she will be awake all day and eating all day long. These are not my favorite days.
*She is an annoying eater. She does not latch on very well still, 5 weeks into her life. She sucks down lots of air and i am at a loss as to what to do about it. She also falls asleep when eating still, so she is a bugger to feed and get a good feeding in. But obviously we are doing something right, because she is chunking out so well.
*She is starting to try and smile. Once in a great while we can get one, but most of the time she just gives you a content smerk, which is equally as cute in my opinion.
*She is spoiled...when i am tired of hearing her grunt, i will let her sleep on my chest in bed...that means she gets to sleep on mommy on her tummy....two of her favorite things....i think i might regret this habit someday, but i get such good sleep not hearing her loud gunts! :)
*She loves her baths. LOVES THEM.
*We just love this little lady. I am loving dressing her up, daddy is so in love with his baby girl, and Kyler, while he is getting jealous of all the attention she gets, he also loves her to death and i can often find him on the ground laying on his belly my her during tummy time talking to her. Or while laying on her back on her play mat, he will lay with her shaking all the toys for her to see, and when "mommy isn't looking" offers his sippy cup to her. He also will give her his "B" or blankey when she is sad and mommy isn't hurrying fast enough to calm her down. I cant believe how fast these kids grow up.

Around This House

If you stopped by, you might see something like. . . .

These Chubby Checks and curly hair

Like this toddler trying to be a baby again...think he is jealous much! :) and no i dont typically let my son run around in a diaper...i was getting him dressed after his bath and he got away from me...this is where i found him.

This same adorable toddler who picks out his own outfits

This cheesey smile

I added this one for good measure....my sweet amazing Grandpa with my precious girl...priceless picture

Smiles All Around!!

This is short and sweet...but for journal keeping I an happy (really that's an understatement) to announce that Brooklyn just smiled at me!! A real smile, no gas involved! Its truly a exploding happy heart moment to see that first real big grin on a newborn. I will try and capture on in the future, for now take my word for it, its a beautiful smile on this beautiful girl!

Top 3

So i have been taking so many more pictures lately. I love it! Here are the top 3 for each of my kiddos...

Lovin the chubby leg rolls!!

I love this little face!!

My "little beauty"

Yes mom, thanks for giving this kid yet another stuffed creature he has to have to go to bed...and for all of you wondering yes this is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle doll

Ky has to be right with Brooklyn... Such a cute big brother (yes he has a chocolate face)

The other night we had to shut Ky in his room to get him to bed. He gets too tired to go down, so we leave him in his room and he can play, but he cant come out. We have done this several times, and he always eventually puts himself to bed, even pulling up his own covers. But this night he must have all of a sudden conked out, cause he is asleep in front of the closet doors...the opposite side of the room from his bed. I about stepped on him when i went in to check on him when i was going to bed. I about died laughing.
