My Little Monster

Cade picked out this three-eyed monster towel for Christmas and he just loves it. It's a great bribing tool for when he doesn't want to get out of the bath. He loves putting on his little monster face. Who would have thought a bath towel could be so entertaining!

What a weekend...

This weekend turned out to be a BEAUTIFUL weekend. The weather was unbelievable and definitely something I could get used to! The boys had a ball playing outside for the first time in a long time!

Mom, quit taking my picture. Okay, just ONE more.

Cash couldn't stand daddy being on the four-wheeler without him! Cade preferred playing basketball.

Cash updates

Cash is learning to do new things all the time. Since he has mastered walking, he is now onto taking things off the counter, trying to get into the pantry, and talking. He definitely lets us know what is on his mind. He says mama, dada, ball, papa, no no, uh oh, bye bye and who knows what else that we can't quite make out yet.

Brotherly bonding

The boys love to play this electronic football game. Cade has played it for 5 hours at a time before, until we finally had to put it away. The best thing is, is that we don't actually have to plug it in and have all the noise. Daddy showed them how to play just by tapping their hands on it. A nice, QUIET football game- rare.

And just a little snapshot of my baby's face for a change! He is so on-the-go that it's impossible to get one these days!

Typical night in the Brooks household

Most of my days and evenings consist of this...

Cash really tries to get in on all the action!

Go Dawgs!

Below are a couple of pics we took at an SIU game we went to recently. We have been to several and Cade sits and really focuses on the entire game. I never dreamed he would be so well behaved at a basketball game and enjoy it so much. He will yell and shout with the best of 'em. No need to watch the game, he is entertaining enough! ;)

More holiday pics

These are a mixture from Christmas weekend and will be the last of what I have to post of the holidays.

Everyone-together, awake, looking, eyes open and smiling(almost)!

Okay, so I'm tired of explaining every pic and who is in them. I think you know them by now! :)

That's all!

Holidays

I truly cannot believe I still have Christmas pictures to post, but between the holidays and my baby's 1st birthday it's hard to keep up. My baby turned 1, we had Christmas with the fams, and then BOOM! - into the new year we went. My cousin from Texas came to visit in the meantime and it seems like we have been going nonstop ever since. So here's some of the best of our holidays at my moms. When I say some, i mean A LOT! Everytime a new baby comes into the fam, tack on 10 more pics :)
