Brooklyn's 2nd Birthday

Mickey Birthday Cake

June 16th, 2011 was Brooklyn's 2nd birthday . Wow, 2 years has flown by way too fast, but it has been a wild and fun ride! On Sat June 11th we had her birthday party. My mom,her boyfriend, auntie Nique and uncle Eric came all the way to AZ to celebrate with us. It was a lot of fun to have them here. We thank friends and family for spending the day to celebrate with us. Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes! Mickey was the theme this year...

Eating Birthday Cake

Easter 2011

Here are some pictures from Brooklyn's second Easter. Her first Easter Egg Hunt was at school. The kiddos had no idea what they were suppose to do but once they figured it out (after being shown what to do) they had lots of fun! On Saturday we went to a family event in Chandler for a Easter festival where Brooklyn had her second egg hunt and knew what she was suppose to do. She had her picture taken with the Easter Bunny, not a fan just like Santa... On Easter we went to Grandma Sheila's where Brooklyn and her cousins had fun hunting for Easter Eggs in the backyard. Brooklyn had a great Easter and we hope everyone had a blessed and wonderful day as well!

Christmas 2010

We were so blessed to have family here for Christmas. My mom, sister and Eric came for Christmas this year and it was such an amazing time! Brooklyn had the BEST time with all of them here for a visit. It was her first time meeting uncle Eric, and it was like she already knew him and they had so much fun together. We are so sad they all had to leave and are looking forward to June when they come back for Brooklyn's 2nd birthday. On Christmas day Cory's mom came over to watch Brooklyn open gifts and to eat dinner with us. Here are some pictures of Brooklyn opening her presents:

Cookies and Hot Chocolate with Santa

Tonight was cookies and hot chocolate with Santa at Brooklyn's school. To say the least, she was not a fan of Santa. She screamed even before we got near him and then when sitting on his lap she screamed out "DaaaaDaaaa!!!!" I couldn't help but laugh but feel so bad that I may have traumatized her, every time I show her the picture she shakes her head and looks like she may cry."DaaaaDaaaa!!!"

Winter 2010

It is winter here in AZ, sometimes hard to believe when the weather has been so nice (80 degrees some days). We are enjoying the outdoors and having lots of fun. Christmas is in 14 days, also hard to believe! Happy Holidays everyone!

The Park

Brooklyn love going outside, she can even say the word, so she makes it obvious when she is ready to go outside! So we take her to the park either in the neighborhood or the city park up the street. She has so much fun being outside and when it is time to go she is not a happy camper!

Fall 2010

Ok, I have been really bad about blogging. So here I am again! Here are some pictures of Brooklyn in her Halloween costume (at her school Fall Festival) and at the Pumpkin Patch at Mother Nature's Farm in Gilbert. Brooklyn had a great Halloween weekend, and so did we! Hope everyone had just a great of time.

1 Year Pics

After Brooklyn's haircut we went to Portrait Innovations (we went every 3 months her first year) to have her One Year pictures taken.
She had a great time and loves the camera. The only challenge this time was she wanted to walk EVERYWHERE! And she did!

1st Haircut

Yesterday we went to have Brooklyn's first haircut at SnipIts. She did very well and she even got a prize when she was done. Her hair was getting way too long in the back and was in need of a haircut.

She looks a little nervous in the first picture after they put the cape on her.

Father's Day 2010

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!

11 Months

Oh my goodness, one month from today my baby will be turning one. Today Brooklyn is 11 months. She is doing such big girl things these days. She loves walking and sometimes gets going so fast she is pretty much running. She is talking more and more and drinks mostly from her sippy cup instead of a bottle. She also found a new sound she loves to scream, especially when she sees her daddy. They go back and forth screaming (doesn't sound good saying they are screaming at each other, but is is the funniest thing ever - you just have to hear it). For the next 5 weeks (thanks to Grandma Sheila - Cory's mom) we are going to Gymboree Play and Music every Friday. Brooklyn has SO much fun when she is there, I am looking forward to Fridays a lot more than I ever have!

We now have to place the sticker on her back or she takes it off.
