Brooky- one month old


Julie is so wonderful. Anyone that knows her, knows she's wonderful. She is such an incredible Aunt. We all love her!! When she was visiting she offered to have Brooky all night for me. What?!? How sweet is that?! Well of course I said YES...I'm no dummy!! She did an amazing job of feeding and taking care of my lil stinker, all through the night. Such an awesome night for me. 

Bathing in Nana's sink. ;)

One month old!!

Fourth of July!


The Fourth of July is so special for our family. Not only do we celebrate America, we celebrate John! Such a cool day to be born!! We had fun at Nana and Papa John's house. We started this tradition, of going to Newport every 4th, when we got married. Such a great time!  
We enjoyed yummy food, homemade ice-cream (johns one request!), the parade, time on the beach, fireworks and our family. Nothing better. :)




Daddy love.


First Fourth of July for the five of us together! 


Nana made the BEST frosting for these brownies. They were amazing!!!










more pics of Brooky and a trip to the beach!

Of course I have a ton of pictures of little Brooklyn...not quite as many as Brighty or Brandon, but a lot none the less. :) I heard over and over that the third child ends up with hardly any pictures so I was told "Be sure and take a bunch!" 


One of my favorites!! I love how tiny she looks.


Lily is such a sweet little mommy.

I love this picture. Brighty and a huge soda! Ha! (Don't worry, it's not hers...she just thinks it is.)

Great Nana


It was great to get away from home and go to the beach. I had the BEST time because Nana gave me a full nights rest by taking Brooky the entire night and feeding her a bottle. I will never forget how I felt that morning when I woke up. Amazing!!!

first family pics, first father's day and first real bath!

Angie took a few pictures of our new family of five when Brooklyn was 8 days old. These photos are so precious to me!














Here is John on his first Father's Day as a father of three! 

My kids love Aunt Ju Ju! :)

Brooky's first bath! She LOVED it!! I cannot believe the difference in my girls. Brighty absolutely hated her first bath, and here is Brooky loving every second. So funny!


All clean!
