Flower Girl!

Uncle Jason and Aunt Clarissa's wedding was 2 weekends ago, but there were so many pictures it took me a while to get organized.

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS JASON AND CLARISSA! The weekend was wonderful and the wedding was beautiful.

Brooke had a great time and did awesome as the flower girl. She keeps saying, "we had so much fun at that wedding!" Below are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend.

Our beautiful little flower girl.

One of my favorites!

Okay, so I couldn't just pick a few, here are some more favorites from the weekend and if you want to see even more, click on this link for the whole wedding weekend album!

Melanie's Bat Mitzvah

Two weekends ago, we went to Kansas City for our cousin Melanie's Bat Mitzvah. It was a fun family weekend and Melanie did a wonderful job! Brooke loved staying in the hotel and had a blast dancing at the party!

Brooke in her "pretty dress" and new hair bow. Apparently, I've been depriving her, as this is the first time in 2.5 years I've ever put a bow in her hair and she LOVED it! She wore a bow to daycare everyday that next week. She loves to show people her pretty bow and look at in the mirror!

Brooke and Melanie

Brooke and all the cousins!

Below is a slide show of Brooke dancing at the party. As you can see from the pictures, she loved it! She was not intimated at all by all the other kids on the dance floor and we couldn't get her off of it...she had a blast!!!

Little Gymnast!

We have been going to "big and little" gymnastics for a little over a month now. Brooke took a few weeks to warm up to it but now she gets excited every Wednesday to go. Its hard to take pictures because most of the stuff involves my help but I was able to get a few good ones. She really enjoys all of the activities but seems to like the balance beam stuff the best. She loves to volunteer to show how to do the activities (as you can see from the videos). I couldn't decide which video to put up so I put them all..they are short though!

Grandparents and Singing

Grandma and Grandpa Nickell came to visit for the day today and Brooke had a fun day playing with them. They brought her a new hat (with Grandpa's vet clinic logo on it) and she wore it all day. She loves her hats! It was a beautiful day out so we went for a walk and she enjoyed looking at all the leaves changing colors.


Brooke has a new thing where she likes to make up songs. Below is a video of her singing one of these songs. You can't really understand what she is saying but it's pretty funny. We can't usually understand her either, but she apparently has something to sing about!
