No Pictures....Sorry!

So it's been two weeks since I have updated. Being back to work certainly has made my time go by quickly! Brooke is enjoying her baby sitter, but always has a huge smile on her face for me when I go to pick her up. Which always makes me feel good! lol

Last Saturday, Jer, Brooke and I took in an Oil Kings game at Rexall Place. It was my first time being there so I was quite excited. The game was pretty good. A little slow, but we all won free burgers from Wendy's as the Oil Kings scored over 5 goals during the game. The final score was 8-1 Oil Kings. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so I have no pictures of this at all! lol Brooke wasn't sure what to think of all the cheering, but she did get into the dancing towards the end of the game. But she was tired when we left, more then ready to head home! It was military appreciation night, plaques were exchanged speeches were given and the army reserve unit that is a band played some music before the game began. All in all it was a great night out for us!

On Sunday we went to do our normal running around and what not. Getting groceries and such.

Then back to work all week for us! It was a quick week for me Jer didn't have any complaints either...so all in all a good work week.

Saturday, Jer and I went to the Goodwill store (which was packed by the way) and we stopped at another thrift store along the way. Jer wanted to get some more pants for Brooke that still had the feet in them, I found a couple of pairs there so we got those and the rest of the time was spent browsing. Ohh yes, we did go to the mall. I have a babyshower to go to today for one of the Officer's wives and I had to go get something for that. I found some things on the sales rack at Please Mum and that's what we got. today on my way to the baby shower i have to stop and get a bag for the goodies, as i forgot one yesterday.

That's all my updates for now...hopefully next week i'll have pictures

Brooke the Monkey!

Fun in the Snow!

Jer was playing with the settings again. He had the camera set to take so many pictures in a min or something. He got some good shots of Tucker playing in the snow! This setting will come in handy when Brooke is more mobile! Look at his nose all covered in snow! haha!

A dogs life to bury your head in the snow and not freeze to death! LOL I'm not sure if all dogs are like this but Tucker loves to put his nose right in the snow!

Jumping and playing in the snow!

These two really are going to be the best of friends! lol And Brooke loves her outdoor time!

The Family on the New Camera

Here is Tucker enjoying his new toy. He now has the rope completely off the tire and it's just the tire. We have instructed him that it's an indoor only toy, but since we have gotten him a doggy door hard to say how long it will be before he gets it outdoors to play with! lol

"whaaaa???" LOL some of the cute faces that she makes!

A good picture of Daddy and Brooke. I was playing around with the new camera and this shot just happened to come out good!

Jer was playing with the settings on the new camera and got this picture of Nellie. Everything is kinda blurry except for her. It's a good picture of her, but that's only because she isn't looking at the camera. She's not usually photographic! lol

Wink, Since I had pictures of everyone else I thought I should include Wink as well. She normally doesn't mind having her picture taken, but she doesn't look very happy in this one...maybe because it was like the 5th picture?!?! lol

Brooke looks like she's wanting out of the play pen! haha! But that's how she stands up in it...pushes against the sides to get up! Of course Tucker is close by....afterall Jer had the camera in hand! haha!

Brooke playing in her play pen! Notice she has Aunt Bev's bear. Aunt Bev gave her that bear as a shower gift and Brooke has just recently taken to it like glue! Maybe it will be her "Teddy"???

Tucker Sharing

I'm not sure how we did it, but we have taught tucker to share! lol

Sleeping in the Highchair!

Here's Brooke sleeping away in her highchair! Sooo cute!

How Brooke gets around

Brooke has all the sudden taken to crawling! She still pulls herself on her belly when she finds something she wants quick, but she has started to crawl a little bit. Sorry the video is so dark, it's before I decided to turn on all the lights and you have to catch her quick, because she moves so fast!

And of course her walking with her wagon. She likes to walk with it...however she does get stuck sometimes.

Helping Daddy

I had gone out to the store and I came back to see Brooke helping Daddy clean the bathroom. She's such a good helper!

Early Christmas Present

Jeremy is like a kid when it comes to Christmas presents. He always wants to open them right away. I always say no, but when it came to the present for Brooke that was from his Mom, I didn't feel I had the right to say no. It wasn't wrapped and we could see from the outside of the box exactly what it was, so I let Jer open it and put it together. She now has a wagon and she really likes it..she mostly likes to sit in it and have you push her around in it, but she likes it none the less...LOL

And the shirt is new, I found it on sale at Old Navy and had to have it. LOL Jeremy rolls his eyes at me when I buy her clothes, cuz we really have a lot of clothes, but I like to buy her things too! lol Jer thinks she looks like a boy in that shirt...but I think she just looks cute!

She's so proud of herself when she pulls herself up on things, which she does constantly now, she always scootches around the furniture...won't be long now and she'll be walking without holding on to anything! What a smart girl!

Brooke and Santa

I don't have a picture scanned to add to this so you'll have to take my word for it. LOL

A couple of weeks ago, I met up with an old friend who I grew up with in NB and she is now living on Vancouver Island, BC. Her baby, Chelsie is 6 weeks younger then Brooke. She had come to Edmonton and we decided to surprise our parents with a picture of the two babies with Santa Claus.

Now, Brooke doesn't normally play strange, but there are some people she likes and some people she doesn't....Santa is one that she doesn't. She was crying the whole time she was on his knee, and Chelsie, was smiling and laughing...quite the opposite reactions. The picture we chose tho, Chelsie doesn't look so sure about Santa either. lol

We took two sets of pictures before we found one that wasn't too bad.

Then the next week at Jeremy's Christmas party, (it was a family event) they had a Santa Claus there as well, so Jeremy took Brooke to see Santa...and again she cried when she was sat on his knee. Jer has the picture on his phone, but we haven't taken it off yet (I'm not sure he knows how...lol)

Wish I had a picture to go with this post, but maybe I can update or add it later.

A Dancing Brooke

Here is a cute video of Brooke doing a little bit of dancing! lol

Getting Ready for Christmas

Here is a video of Brooke with one of my musical Tiggers!

Playing in the snow!

I just had to take Brooke out to the snow! lol So I dressed her up and away we went to make a snowman...Ok I did all the making...Jeremy didn't even help...party pooper! lol

Preview/Teeth and randomness

This is Brooke's Christmas dress....I tried it on to make sure it was a bit too big so it will still fit at Christmas time. Isn't it a cute dress?? I knjow you can't see it all...but that's the point to a preview! LOL And if you look really close...you can see her two bottom front teeth. Mom was wanting to see them...but it's hard to catch her with the perfect pose for the teeth! lol

This is what happens when you give Brooke a bowl of food expecting her to eat it! LOL Altho, I have to say that she did eat most of her breakfast that day.

This is what our van looks like with out a back window! LOL The kids around town were nice enough to break it for us on Halloween. How sweet of them! We do have a replacement, but it's not on yet.

Jen, You had asked me forever ago to keep my eyes open for Glass Door Knobs...I found these at Home Depot. Are they what you are looking for?

I don't even remember what's on this video...LOL But I hope you enjoy it!

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!

This is what I woke up to this morning!!!!

As you can see Tucker has been out making tracks in the snow! lol It's still snowing...it's one of those snows that is awesome because it means Christmas is coming! It's the kinda snow that makes you feel like it should be Christmas morning!

Halloween 2008

Here is Brooke in her Halloween Costume! Doesn't she make the cutest alligator/dinosaur you ever did see?!?! lol

Brooke and Daddy all ready to go!

Had to get a shot of her cute little tail!

Poor Wink!

This is what looked up from a movie and saw! Poor wink being harassed by Tucker and Brooke. It was kinda cute tho...but I had to get them both away from Wink so she could make her escape! lol
