Brooke Turns Three

I can not believe that my little baby Brooke turned three. It just seems like yesterday I was getting ready to have her and now she is three. I guess I should not call her my little baby she is now my big girl. I have told both girls that they may be big girls now but no matter how old they get they will always be my little babies.

Mimi Smith, Aunt Holly and Aunt Nikki came to help celebrate Brooke's birthday along with all of her friends from the neighborhood. She had a Dora birthday. She got a lot of great gifts from her friends. She had a great time.

Since her birthday fell on a Monday this year we had her birthday party on Saturday and then on Monday we took Brooke to Red Robin for her birthday. That has been our tradition with Sydney since she turned two and now we are also taking Brooke there. We have dinner and then after they bring out ice cream, balloons and sing Happy Birthday. Brooke loved it. Then we came home and she got to open up more birthday presents. She had such a great birthday.

We also found out that come this fall Brooke will be going to preschool school. She will be going three days a week from 9 to 12. She is so excited to be able to go to school like her big sister. I on the other hand don't know what I'm going to do with myself. We are so excited for her.

Where did February Go??

What happened to February? I can not believe on fast the month went by. Guess with everything going on with the girls it was a busy month. The beginning of February Papa and Mimi Wilson came in for a long weekend. The girls were so excited to see them and we were too. Sydney made 100 days at school and had to do a 100 day project. So she painted 100 hearts on a shirt and wore it to school for 100 days in school. She was also in a play at school which Shawn and I went and saw her in. She was a penguin. She also got pinned in Girl Scouts. She also just started soccer practice for the Spring. She is one busy girl right now.

Brooke is getting so big and trying to be like her big sister. The weather has also finely warmed up here and we have been outside a lot playing and enjoying the warm weather.
