Brooks' 1st Easter!!!



We celebrated Easter Sunday at home with our annual Easter dinner with The Rays and Hartnesses! Such a special time to get together and so much fun we always have. Jordan got sick Saturday afternoon so he was a trooper on Sunday. The boys looked adorable and had fun olYing outside and searching for eggs.

Brooks' 1st Easter dinner
This kid is so sweet and funny!!! 


We didn't get one good family photo so this will do. So hard to get two busy boys to look at the camera. Probably a recurring theme to come in my life! 

Cooper learned at church that they rolled away the stone by rolling a rock into a bucket and then yelled "Jesus is Risen" and pointed to Heaven! I love the small seeds of Christ's love for him already growing in His heart. Our God is so good and loves, loves, loves us so much!

Brooks 11 mos



This little guy is so sweet and so fiesty! I can't comprehend how he is 11 months old and so quickly this year has flown by. Brooks is chill, yet determined to get what he wants. He loves to eat food and is now down to 2 nursings and 2 cups of whole milk! He weighs around 20 lbs-coop weighed this at 6 mos! He wears size 3 diapers, 6-12 mos pants, 12-18 mos shirts, size 3 or 4 shoe. We have recently exited a season of sickness and teething and have started to sleep better-hope this continues! 

No one makes Brooks laugh like Cooper does. They will play together in Cooper's room and on the trampoline. Brooks doesn't have the texture issues Cooper did and is all over the grass, trying to eat bark and going straight for mud outside. He's more of my kid who goes for all the "no's". Yet he loves his family so much and cuddles when tired. He is a thumb sucker at night and I still hate that but can't change it. He's not walking yet but will take a step when he gets himself sturdy and likes to let go and see how long he can stand. The other night he climbed up on our end table and was standing up on it-so that was awesome :/ have to watch him real closely now! 

I'm so excited for this summer and all the fun and busy that's coming!!! Brooks is just wonderful and we all love him to pieces!
