Father's Day 2010

Brooklyn and Daddy on Father's Day:

Brooklyn's school teacher made the onsie for her to wear for her daddy!

A year ago today...

A year ago today Brooklyn was born and changed our entire world! My sweet baby girl is now a sweet little toddler!!! I have such mixed emotions right now, sad that a year has flown by, but so happy to see what the future holds for this little girl of mine. This year has had its ups and downs (more ups thanks to her) but it truly has been the best year of my entire life! She has changed so much in one year and amazes me every day. The first time she rolled over, or ate rice cereal and of course those first steps and everything in between has been awesome. I always knew I would love my child, but it is so indescribable the love a mom has for their babies. Thank you everyone for the love and support you have given to Cory and I this year, but most of all thank you for the love you have given to Brooklyn. Happy 1st Birthday Brooklyn Simone Hauber!!!

Brooklyn's 1st Birthday Party

Yesterday we had a birthday party for Brooklyn to celebrate her first birthday. She will be ONE on Weds June 16th, which is so unbelievable! We had such a great time celebrating with our friends and family. Brooklyn had a fun time as well. It was so good to have my mom and sister come in for the party/celebration! It really meant the world to me! The theme for Brooklyn's party was pink and zebra. It started with the invitations from Etsy seller Mommiesink and the dress I also bought from Etsy seller CharmingNecessities (Etsy is my new favorite website to shop). My great friend Tracy helped me create Brooklyn's amazing birthday cake. I even put my crafty skills to the test to make the birthday banners (instead of buying them off of Etsy - which I almost did). Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us yesterday.

Summer 2010

Summer is here and Brooklyn so far is loving every bit of it. Soon the temperatures will be 110+, but thank goodness for the pool, splash pads and anything else to do with water. Friday we met our friends Lesley, Ethan and Charlie at a splash pad in Gilbert. The time was perfect as the kids had the pad to themselves up until we were about to leave. Us mom's had our coffee and watched as the little one's had LOTS of fun! Looking forward to many more days like Friday!
