So many things have happened...

If I may just start out by saying Thank you...to all of those wonderful people in my life that have been such a support! I know many of you look at this blog, and I hope you know what an important part of my life you are. These last few months have been a challenge. But from dinners people brought, to kind notes, to flowers, to gifts, to cookies, to phone calls, and everything else I was blessed to receive...THANK YOU! I know its not easy to know what to say to someone that's going through a rough time, and I know it can be uncomfortable for you! But thank you...for doing the uncomfortable...because its made a huge difference to me!

And this is my Joy!

This month has had some really fun things happen. My brother Justin...just returned from his mission in the Baltic. He learned the Lithiuaian Language and is as skinny as a string bean! But I love him! He is for sure one of my best friends! On the Flip side My other brother Matt, who turns 19 TODAY!..will be leaving to Scotland for his mission in 2 Weeks! He will be missed. Another best friend of mine!

So this is just a bunch of Random Pics...From Andy's 32 Birthday, Easter, Girls night out with my little sis, to the airport and getting Justin, to Kaden using himself as a coloring book!

Happy Birthday Baby!

Girls Night!

Elder Martin Returns!

Seriously two of the cutest boys I know!

Kaden Loves to Snuggle with his Uncle Matt! We stayed at my parents house for 2 Weeks while they went to pick up Justin! He and Kaden became good little buddies!

Kaden And his Great Grandma Marchant!

So Kaden has had this new little hobby of coloring things he shouldn't...one of them is himself! But I couldn't help but laugh (and take a few pics) when he came walking up to me...looking like this...and saying..."Mama me pretty"

Easter!

Vance and Kristy said...: Brooke- I am sorry to hear you are going through such a hard time. If there is ever anything I can do, let me know. I can't imagine going through your trials. You are in our prayers. Stay strong and hang in there. Everything happens for a reason, we just don't understand them until sometime later on in life. Things will look up soon!; April 26, 2010 at 1:46 PM

Out Takes!

Kaden while eating his microwaved Chicken nuggets says"mmm dis is delicious"-Oct 2009-2 years old

Christmas morning walking down the stairs and he sees the train Santa brought him his words exactally "Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, a train, a train..."-Dec 25 2009-

While laying on the bed with his good friend Avery(7 months), she starts to scream a little bit and he rolls over....looks at me with his forhead scrunched and says in a very serious voice "Avery no screaming, no screaming." Can you tell that is something we say to him often...yes, yes it is. Jan 15 2010

As I am giving Kaden his much needed Tylenol he spits all of the beautiful RED dye on his new WHITE shirt! In absolute frustration I Yell...."Come on Kaden don't spit it out, you know how to take this medicine....HOW OLD ARE YOU? Your old enough to do this" He looks up at me with his sweet blue eyes...and says "I'm two!" ~Case closed...what a stupid question mom!

On the morning of his surgery to get tubes in his ears I quietly walk into his room, rub his back and tell him it's time to get up! It's 5:45am and I am ready for him to have a tantrum...being to so tired and all.
He looks right up and me and says "Okay mommy...time to go to the Dr." Funny thing...I never said ANYTHING...about going to the dr. Not even the night before. With all of the ear trouble he has had he hates the dr. But I think someone was looking out for him! "May 11, 2010"
