OLD SACRAMENTO

So I know I have been posting a lot lately. We have just been going, going, going. On Labor Day Toby had one surgery that he had to go to, so after that me and the girl's drove up and picked him up in Stockton at one of his hospitals. (about an hour away from where we live) Then we drove up to Sacramento. (about 45mn from there). They have this place downtown that still looks like it did durning the old day's. But for Labor Day they braught in a ton of dirt and they had wagons and people all dressed up in clothes that they wore during the gold rush. They even had a few tent's that where set up that had the Mormon Batalion. It was really fun and Brooklyn loved all the horses. After that we went to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. It was a really fun day.

SUCH A FUN BIRTHDAY!!

There is nothing better than getting packages in the mail from both grandparents on the same day!! Brooklyn was more excited than I have ever seen her today when her packages arrived from Grandma and Grandpa Branch and Grandma and Grandpa Goeckeritz. THanks so much all of you for the cute gifts as you can see from the pictures she absalutely loved everything! (And as you can see she is still wearing her tutu.) Such a fun Birthday for little bing.

She loved her little happy birthday bear and sunglasses. Thanks Grandma Goeckeritz for the cute book, we are excited to read it too her. Brooklyn loves reading books before she goes to bed and this one is so sweet!

You can tell by Brooklyn's face that she was so excited with all her fun gifts. She tried to put on both ears the crown and the hat grandma made at the same time. It wasn't really working out but she loves them all so much. And I am so excited about the all the extra's. Thank's mom!

Grandma Branch snuck in a little something for Nikell. Thanks mom the little rattle socks were a hit.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BING!!

Our little Brooklyn turned two today. I can't believe how much she has grown in 1 year. I was looking back to some pictures of her first birthday and I was amazed at how little she was. She was still a baby, and now she is a sweet little girl!!
Brooklyn we love you so much and are so so glad that we are blessed with such a sweet little angel. We love watching you experiance new things and love the way you just seem to really enjoy each new day. You have so many people who love and care about you and I hope you always remember what a blessing you are in all of our lives. Happy Birthday we love you!!!


Brooklyns First Birthday!

BROOKLYN'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY

Yesterday we had a birthday party for Brooklyn at the park. Little did I know it would be over 100 degrees. Luckily Toby went and baught one of those easy up shades or we all would have died from heat stroke! There was a light breeze and that helped a lot and the little kids all had on swimsuites and ran around in the water fountains so atleast they were able to cool off a little bit.
Even with the heat we had a lot of fun. We had some good friends show up and it was really nice to sit under the shade and have some fun conversations. I had my friend Melanie there and she did an awesome job of making Brooklyns cake. And we also had a piniata, which in my opinion was the highlight of the day. All the kids were very polite when picking up there candy. They were all so stinkin cute.
I just want to tell everyone who came thanks so much. I know it was so dang hot but we really appreciate you coming and being a part of little Bings birthday party. She got so many fun gifts and ever since then has been trying on all her new dress up clothes.

Eating our yummy pizza!
Dylen is seriously so dang cute with Nikell. I love it!
Brooklyn was so excited to give Abby a hug that she actually knocked her over.
Little Nikell was sick so she had a rough time for some of the party. She finally fell asleep in daddy's arms.

Look how excited Brooklyn got when she saw her cake. What a cutie.
Doesnt Melanie do an awesome job. Thanks Mel Brooklyn loved it!

I think this was Brooklyns favorite part of the party. She was so happy, I think she finally understood that this was all for her.


Abby and Addison helped us cut the cake.

Brooklyn seriously did not want to give her cake up. She could have sat there all day just taking tiny bites of her cake. She got pretty upset when we took it away to open presants.

Max buddy. Someday he will be the one to hit the piniata down so that it breaks. The girls are a little too gentle.

All the girls looked so cute in their swimsuites picking up the candy.
Just checking out her candy.

Opening some really fun presants.
I love how the little girls just sat around Brooklyn watching her open her presants.
Max was excited about his car. He was the only boy there, all I have to say is he is going to have a lot of girlfriends some day! Isnt he adorable, we love our Max!
exhausted from a long hot day.

I have more pictures of all your cute kid's so give me a little while and I will try and email them to you all.

These pictures are of today. She had so much fun trying on all of the gifts she got yesterday.
