Decorating the tree

Cade's many faces in front of the Christmas tree...

And of course we can't forget little Cash! I thought this picture was sweet except for the man looking underneath the tree! ;)

And the final product- minus a few ornaments on the lower front ;) Still need to add my pretty gold and brown wrapped presents and then we'll be set!

These are from a few weekends ago when my brother's family came to visit. Cade and Cash love having a little cousin!

Thanksgiving Crafts with the Kids

A few weekends ago, we got together with some friends and did turkey shirts with the kids. It turned out to be a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it! Except for Cade and Jace. They wanted nothing to do with sticking their hand in paint! It was funny and kind of a bummer, but we made do! And thanks girls for letting me take your pictures at

9 am on a Saturday morning! You are troopers! :) Avery's handmade shirt. She pretty much did it all herself! Too cute.

Baby Eli

It was also Megan & Melinda's birthday that week so we had a mini birthday party too!

Happy Halloween!

Saturday was busy for the Brooks household. A small get together for Cade's 3rd birthday that morning and then trick or treating in mommy's old neighborhood that night! He had an exciting but exhausting day! Thanks to everyone who helped make it special for him! Oh, and Cade decided he was over being in his Buzz costume for the day so we quickly threw together his football gear and trick or treated as a football player instead. He had had enough of Buzz after being in it all. day. long. Tonight he was back to being his usual Buzz. Go figure.
