Let is Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

It has been snowing so much lately, I'm just glad it's not twelve below anymore..holy crap that is enough to make you cry! We LOVE LOVE LOVE the snow ...not so much LOVE that I don't have much a husband lately. He is out in this freezing cold weather making some extra cash for his beautiful family. I must say though that we are pretty grateful for this weather. I know right, your all cursing me. We have been able to make some extra Christmas money by Clarke plowing all the time. I miss having a husband around though. I'm not used to him being gone so much. But it will be worth it.

We always LOVE the Christmas Season around here. I swear I way to many Decorations for Christmas. But whats to many eh...I LOVE all of them and will not be giving any away anytime soon. Here are some fun pictures of what Christmas looks like at our house.

So at church today Little Miss Brooklyn was playing and decided to try and put her own sock on and put her bow on her head.. So dang cute. Clarke and I were like how in the world does she know so much. She is one smart little thang. We just LOVE her so much. She also crawls, as one of my greatest friends puts it, Like one of those broken toys on Toy Story. I'll video tape it and post it later. It is freakin hilarious. Everyone always comments on it.

11 months

Brooklyn is 11 months today! WHAT? That means that she will be a year in one month... ya I had to do the math too. JK I just can't believe it. She is learning so much and collecting info like a sponge. I am so grateful for my (prob) 15 lb baby G. what a little skinny minny but I could just eat her.
THings she has been doing this last little while.

-climbing on everything
-into everything
-says momma and dadda (mostly dadda)
-ease (please)
-thanx (thanks, only sometimes)
-puts things back where she found them
-can crawl up the stairs
-LOVES food
-cuddles up next to her pink Giaraffe (thanks Leah), her elephant, and her bunny blanket
-gives the cutest hugs
-LOVES books
-crawls over to us pulls on our pant leg and begs like a puppy
still doesn't fully laugh like she only did once...it's the cutest laugh ever and I really really want to hear it again....I don't know what else I can do to get her to do it again, I've tryed everything.
-walks around the table while holding on all by herself
-got her 7th tooth, the 4 top teeth came in at the same time when she was about 10 months
-had her first ice cream cone

I'm sure I'll think of more later but for now this should do.. Enjoy

Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving with Clarke's family in Roy. This was Brooklyn's first Thanksgiving, she enjoyed most of it but by the time the food was ready she was pooped and so onrey.. she needed a nap so bad. so after we both wrestled with her she went to sleep in daddas arms. My grandmaa had a pinyada for the kids and there was lots of yummy treats inside. I am so grateful for my family and all that I have. I am so very blessed. Also Clarkes brothers girlfriend came to visit us for Thanksgiving. Can I say that I would claim her as a sister even if they don't get married. I seriously LOVE her. She is awesome and us 4 girls would have A LOT of fun. I was SO SO sad when she had to go back to Nebraska and so was my bro in law. Never seen the poor guy so sad. It's only a matter of time!
