Catching up

I have been going to the Library more often with Mommy.  I keep seeing this cute girl each time.

I like to run with mommy instead of riding in the stroller.

Singing Happy Birthday to Brutus while in the tub.  He's 6 years old now!

Hey...wait up!

The "perfect" Christmas Tree.

Playing with "Pops" 63 year old Lionel Train set.  It's Christmas everyday!

-I have not had much of a chance to blog lately so I decided to add lots of pictures with captions to catch up.  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my parents house.  My mom always cooks the best food.  Her stuffing can't be beat!  "Pops" Blackmore came into town despite being in lots of pain. He is waiting to have a hip replacement.  We had so much fun hunting down our "perfect" Christmas tree together.  We ended up getting a 10 foot tree!!!  It is so pretty in the house.  Brooks is in heaven playing with the Lionel train set.  I can not even imagine how much fun Christmas will be this year!

-Brooks has had fun going to the Library, jumping at SkyZone and playing at the park on our days off. He still attends a Mother's Day out 2 half days a week.  He is really enjoying himself and learning so much!  Probably the biggest change with Brooks is that he wears Big Boy Pants all the time now!! Even to bed and naptime!!  I can not tell you how proud we are of him.  It is something you work on (for past year on and off)...but he just woke up and decided to be done with diapers (well...for the most part).  He is still very timid about doing #2 in the potty.  So he asks for diaper to poop, then puts underwear back on.  Oh well...it's an awesome start!  He gets upset if we even mention diapers.  He says, "I big boy now".  Wow...where has my little stinker gone?  My heart is a little sad and a lot happy;)

Happy Halloween Everybody!

I am so excited to carve our pumpkins!

I picked a WITCH for mommy to make

Daddy picked a SCARY MONSTER one!

Choo-Choo All Aboard!!

Brooks's Choo-Choo Express

My Cousin Oliver was a blue Dragon! I think he's pretty cool now that he is moving around!

Hey...Get back here!!!

I couldn't wait to go trick or treating

Enough pix already!!!

I had this down house one!

Daddy and I went back out for round 2

I had so much fun!  Now I can't wait to eat this CANDY!!!

-Brooks really had a blast trick or treating this year.  I don't even think he realized how COLD it was!  He was so excited to get dressed up and walk the neighborhood.  Halloween morning he woke up and asked if it was time to go trick or treating.  He just could not understand why he needed to wait until the evening time.  Aunt Tammy, Cousin Oliver, Grandma McCarroll and Daddy were all there to join in.  Brooks came back in after about an hour and was so upset when I said we were done.  He folded his arms and said, "I am NOT done trick or treating!!!".  Who are we to say no?  It was Halloween of course and this kid has been asking everyday if it was Halloween today.  So Josh went back out for round two.  We had fun eating pizza and CANDY for dessert.  What fun times!  I really LOVE this time of year and to see all the joy in his eyes is priceless!  Happy Halloween to all!  BOO
