Brooke and Daddy
Our trip to the beach. It took JT and my Dad forever to get Brooke to walk in the sand. She truly hates it but she loves the water and would have gone all the way in if I was not the crazy mom who said it was to cold.
My parents have taken Brooke to Disneyland a couple of times without me. The come back full of stories about her excitement there. She loves the parade but hates Alice in wonderland. She throws huge fits when they leave and they think it is so funny to hear her cry for more. 
Brooke is VERY into little mermaid and all things princess. She has multiple princess outfits and puts on pieced throughout the day. This is her mermaid top.
My Mom says Brooke looks just like JT here. I cant tell, what do you think?
Dennis returned from his mission in Argentina. We had so much fun hearing his stories and getting together as a family. All of the kids were thrilled to be together at grandmas house. Jennie and I had fun taking pictures of Brooke and Isabella together.
Jackson and Me.
Brooke in her new shirt from Grandma. It is still one of her favorites since the butterfly lights up.
Brooke loves the piano and will play and sing at the same time. Sometimes she holds the music with one hand while playing with the other.
Brett, Dennis and JT. The brothers back together.
My Mom is always baffled that I don't take a stroller with me on outings but Brooke loves to walk and is just as easy to carry (especially when JT is doing it).
Brooke loved the Gorilla and pounded on her chest while making noises that the whole crowd giggled at.
Me, JT Brooke and Dakota at the bottom. We took him with us and he had just as much fun as Brooke.
Brooke and Daddy. Her favorite animals were the monkeys, the bongo (which she still refers to) and the bird show. I thought she might get scared at the bird show since last time I took her to Disneyland she cried when the parrot in down town disney was talking. She was quite the trooper however and loved all of the animals.
I will do a couple of blogs to catch everyone up. We went to the corn festival and Brooke had a ball. My youngest brother Dakota talked me into going on a crazy rocket ride with him. JT was refusing to let me go because it is to dangerous (I went anyway) and Brooke screamed and cried as I got on. I started getting nervous (JT stays in my head) so I said a quick prayer as I got on the ride for my safety. The ride was horrible! I was on the inside so every time the rocket completed a rotation, Dakota (who was on the outside) would ram into me forcing me against the metal handle. I kept adjusting my hip to hit in different areas and screamed at Dakota the entire time to stop hitting me! I was nearly in tears as we got off the ride and missing half of my hair since the metal kept tearing it out. Next time, I will listen to JT. Half of my body was bruised for more then 2 weeks.
After my encounter with the rocket, Dakota who was not hurt at all, convinced JT to go on this spinning ride with him. JT sat on the outside:) Dakota did not want to go on any more rides after that! HAHA, Dakota is looking at this blog right now and saying that JT was so mean to him and got revenge for me.
