Pumpkin Patch 2010

There's a great pumpkin patch not too far from here. Last year was our first year to go and Brooklyn was only a week old and she and I spent most of the time in the car nursing. So, Brooklyn and I had a lot more fun this year. We went during the week when it's not so crowded, so Al didn't get to go with us this year. But my mom was sweet enough to come along and it was so much fun with her there. We got to go on a hay ride, Brenley went through the maze a couple times, got to see lots of fun cartoon characters, and bought a little pumpkin to take home and make pumpkin pie at Nana's.

Our 3'2" girl

Us girls on the hayride...the girls' first ever.
I love this picture!

Playing in the pumpkin house.

Posing with the Little Mermaid. They looked thrilled don't they!

This cute girl was learning how to walk so she wanted down in the dirt and hay. All messy, but she sure looks precious! (Thanks Aunt Shelly for the adorable hat!)

Randomness

Here are a bunch of pictures that don't really need their own post, but are worth sharing. They are all pretty random and in no particular order.

Bren likes to try to clip her own toe nails. She's no too bad at it.

Lining up her babies. Not sure what for, but she's pretty good at bossing them around :)

Brenley is sometimes pretty rough with Brooklyn. Most of the time Brooklyn hates it. This particular day they were wrestling on the floor and Brooklyn was happy for a whole 30 seconds of it.

Brooklyn loves to snuggle. We love it too!

Brenley got a new car seat and absolutely loves it! She thinks she's pretty big stuff!

Brooklyn moved into Brenley's old car seat and she loves her new world of facing forward! I don't know that she ever knew what she was missing out on until now.

Brenley playing football...this was her helmet.

Look at this precious face after her bath.
Oh, those eyes make me melt!

Taking a nap outside, so much fun!

Trying to learn how to zip up her jacket. Big stuff!

My kids love to eat and this one loves to make a mess!

I think she learned this from her sister!

First night to eat spaghetti and it was a big hit!
This was the night of her birthday and she chose to eat spaghetti over her pumpkin muffin with whipped cream.

Brooklyn Is One

October 16 is one of my favorite days. It is the day we celebrate the arrival of our precious Brooklyn Mallory Buster.

Brooklyn, from the minute we found out that you were going to be in our lives, we have loved you. You have stollen our hearts. This past year has been been fabulous! From the day of your birth to the day of your first birthday, you have changed so much. You have gone from a precious newborn to a walking toddler. You have grown into a darling little girl. We love your laid back personality and your happy disposition. Your desire to snuggle with us is one of the highlights of our days.

You love your big sister and want to be a part of everything she is doing. But as much as you want to be big like her, you still want Mommy to hold you all the time. You are a Mama's girl but Daddy is a pretty close second. He's pretty crazy about you too.

Not a day goes by that we don't thank Jesus for bringing us you. We pray that you will have a hunger for Him at an early age and that your life will glorify His name.

We love you Brooklyn Mallory. Happy First Birthday baby girl!

Fall Festival

Our church puts on the most amazing fall festival. There are tons of rides and games and candy! Last year we went when Brooklyn was one week old, so this year she got to enjoy it a little bit more.

Brenley posing in her costume. (She's into this fake smile lately)

We met our sweet friends the McCoys up there. Brenley and Macy are still best friends and they had a blast!

Our sweet strawberry rode her first roller coaster :)

Brooklyn and Carli loved riding in the wagon. Aren't they cute with their matching pacis!

Brenley got to ride a horse for the first time and LOVED it!!!

What a big girl!!!

We had a blast and saw lots of friends! Can't wait to do it again next year!

Party Time!

Brenley goes to Little Gym once a week and absolutely loves it! She is our budding little gymnast :)

They had a halloween party for the kids and the girls had a ball. Fun games and lots of candy...who doesn't love that!

Brenley is going "fishing" for candy!

Daddy and his sweet girls!

Photo Shoot

My amazing sister in law Amber took these pictures of us the other day. She is so talented and we couldn't be happier with the pictures that she took. There are so many good ones, it was hard to pick which ones should go on the blog.
