Bookie boo and MORE bugs

Brookie and her BUGS!!! Bugs bugs bugs.  Today in nursery Brooklyn got to go collect bugs outside with her class and came home with a container of 6 lady bugs.  This was her BEST Sunday ever I think!  Rollie pollie's are also a very popular favorite of hers.   I just love her little expressions of interest and excitement about these little creatures.  She brings me new ones daily, and wants me to be as excited about them as she is.

Big Boy Sitter!

Chasey boy is officially SITTING!!!  Last week little cousin Ryker came over and showed him how to do it and now he's got it down!  He can sit for quite awhile as long as he has a toy.    All the other kids really love to hug and kiss on him lots these days, because he is extra full of personality and smiley.  He does not like everyone to leave him on the floor alone.  He will usually be happy on the floor quite awhile, as long as someone is sitting by him. 

Snail Trails

As you can see my little Brooklyn has a love affair with Snails!  She love love loves these little creatures and constantly finds them and brings them to me.  Her favorite thing to do is to poke their eyes and gather them in a home like the one you see above.  Morgan and Tyler have taken to these little fellows too due to Brooklyns obsession.  I couldn't resist snaping a few shots of her little face as she lovingly shared her little beloveds with me!!! LOL

Happy 6th Birthday Morgan

Morgan had a great Friend Birthday Party to celebrate being 6.  We all had so much fun.  We started with a few games and relays, then had make-overs, and glitter glue purse decorating.  She had so much fun and was so grateful to all the sweet little girl friends in the ward that came to celebrate her! 
Morgan is such a loving kind peacemaker in our home.  She is so attentive to the little ones, and so willing to do whatever is needed to help out.  She is so smart and fun to be with!  We love her dearly.  Happy Birthday Morgan!!!

Easter with the Bracken's

This Easter by far goes down in history as a favorite! Chrystal my sis came from Utah with her girls for a spring fling with the crowder clan.  We had a great week.  Started out right with a little conference, easter egg hunt, and coloring eggs.  The kids loved every minute of it.  I still get excited about easter egg hunts.  They are just as exciting for me as it is for them... especially raiding baskets and gorging on my favorite food group.  CANDY!!!

Clarissa

This little angel is my neice Clarissa.  She is full of life, energy, and love for fun!  She is a sweetheart and my buddy! So glad you could come visit this week!

Rollie Polie

So here is a play-by-play of Chaser boy rolling over.  Its not the most flattering of pictures because these pictures accentuate his nice big Melon! (I call him pinky and the brain, because his cute head reminds me of the brainy mouse on that cartoon.) ha ha ha... but it was fun to catch the whole thing on camera so I had to post it... beauty aside.   He worked very hard and cried lots as he worked up to making the roll.  He was very proud of himself, and worn out from all the hard work.!

Get'n that darn arm out from underneath him, is his nemesis!
