Lewiston Parade

Brooklyn got to ride in the Lewiston 4th of July parade this year. She rode with the pagent girls from that little Miss Idaho Days she did. When I dropped her off and put her on the float she was a tad bit nervous and sort of gave me a sad lip. The lady there helping talked her though and Brook was fine in no time. She was so stickin cute when she passed us. She caught site of us and started waving (her princess wave she says) and then was blowing kisses. So cute!
She will now ride this weekend in the Famous Preston Night Rodeo and she is so excited.
I just was able to snap one picture. I had one of her before when I dropped her off, but who only knows how it was deleted from the camera. ;)

Brooklyn turns 4!

Brooklyn turned 4 on June 27th!! (Yes, I'm slow on doing the post!)
We had a short birthday party for Brooklyn this year because she started out that day not feeling well. She sort of just sat around. Finally later that week I decided I better take her to get looked at. I figured she just had the stupid cough and cold that was going around so I didn't bother wasting the dr. bill on it. However, later that week she got worse and worse. I finally took her in and she had asmatic bronchitis. She was on meds and they made her throw up a TON, so then they lowered her dose and gave her nausea meds. Poor little girl. Let's just say the 4th of July weekend for us (mainly her) was not real fun! She did ride in the parade though in Lewiston on the 4th cuz she said she felt better. However, when she was done and we walked to the car she asked me to pack her and she just laid on me. I could tell she was still trying to get better and not up to herself yet.
She had wanted to do a Princess party and I had cute things in mind, but when she was sick I decided we were cutting it down. We just had the grandparents all come over and did a dinner then cake and icecream. We then had her open presents. She was fine with it. She loved it all and that night when I tucked her in for bed, she looked at me as she gave me a hug and said "thanks for the birthday mom. I loved the princess cake and my present!" Awww..melt my heart. I thought it was boring but to her she totally loved it!! (sick and all)
Here are just a few pics from her birthday.....












I of course had to snap and share a cute picture of little Gavin making a little cheeser smile. What a cutie!! :)












It was fun, but so sad that the kids grow up so fast! She may be the hardest kid for me and give me the most work, but she is still a sweetheart to beat and I love her to death!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKLYN!!!
