.worst parents of the year.

.thats us.

.right here.

.worst parents of the year.

.yes, we find something that makes our child cry... and we dont stop... we pull out the camera and do it again.

.apparently brooklynn was not fond of me whining back at her, she was bugging me cause she was SUPER tired and whining... so i whined back.

.well than she did this reaction. i LAUGHED so hard and called for andrew to grab the camera.

.and did it again.

.worst parents of the year. RIGHT HERE.

.they can't take your kids from you for whining at them..aka..scarring her crapless.

BROOKLYNN CRYING

.date night & pumpkin patchin'.

.so i decided last minute that we were going to do the pumpkin patch tonight, instead of early early tomorrow with arom, megan and miss ayla may. 

.this meant...

.*our hubbies/daddies could come along.

.*meg and i didnt have to go alone.

.*extra help with the girls.

.*and double date night.

.*and andrew could work all he wants tomorrow on homework, and spend friday night with his girls.

.well i have video, and pictures. andrew complained the entire time about taking pictures because it was so STINKING cold.

.my bad, it was cold, but i figured i would put on a happy face and enjoy the moment THAN and not regret it later. i LOVED taking brooklynn to her first pumpkin patch. he little chin would shiver, but she still had a smile on her face as well. it was adorable and memorable.

.after picking pumpkins, we went to Rumbi Island Grill to eat. It was DELICIOUS and really hit the spot for me. There was so much, i brought some home and plan to dig in again, once this blog is posted and my baby is asleep. she is laying next to me, watching me type. 

.we did a couple returns, while the schultz headed home to put ayla girl down.

.it was SO much fun to double, and do experience another "first" with brooklynn. 

.and tomorrow is girl time with megan some more, and lunch date at craigos with more friends.

.andrew's computer is being sent to the shop, so no videos anytime soon, so pictures will have to do for now 

...hey, its better than nothing right?!?

.enjoy.

.HORRIBLE family picture.. oh well it was cold and windy.

.ayla and meg.

.schultz family.

.brooklynn picked her pumpkin.

.happy with her pickin'.

 .pumpkin patch.

.my little Eskimo baby.

(p.s. the ADORABLE hat is from my sister Ronnie)

.ready for the weekend.

.i got through work today. THANK GOODNESS. Brooklynn and I came home and passed out for an hour and a half. We are kinda the same level of sickness. Its not HORRIBLE... just annoying.

.andrew talked about moving again. this time to texas. its exciting/sad/a new adventure. everytime he mentions somewhere new, i look at houses there. he is talking alot about texas, more than any other place. crazy.

.laundry and cleaning day tomorrow. i am excited for the weekend to be here. we are for sure going out to a lunch date with our friends, which is SO needed and so much fun. My very good and amazing friend Megan and I have also talked about taking our baby girls to a pumpkin patch for their FIRST TIME. it will be lots of fun, and I have looked at a few different places. I didnt think Andrew would be excited, but he said it sounded like alot of fun :)

.well, that is all the news we have going on now. besides andrew's computer being lame. its been hard for him with all his homework assignments and such... but we will have to figure it out. just part of the amazing gift we call life.

.good weekend.

.this blog post is going to be brief because I dont have too much to say, and I have to be at work in 7.25 hours...i need to get to bed. 

.this weekend of general conference was AMAZING. i loved the talk about families, and having children (hint hint, wink wink Andrew), and LOVED the talk for dads raising daughters. overall, very very good conference. 

.andrew is still doing well with school. he is currently sick, as well as Brooklynn and I too.. however, Brooklynn is almost over it, Andrew is in the middle of it, and I just started it today. So all the nasty snot i hear from Andrew... I am not looking forward to it in a couple of days. 

.so besides, work school and squeezing in some family time... this is what we have been up to.

.playing with our uncle derek. he is SO good with Brooklynn, I was making dessert and Andrew was working on a computer, and Derek rocked Brooklynn a little bit last night before putting her to bed. I do admit, and miss putting my baby girl down last night, but it was fun to see derek in a "daddy role."

.we worked on mastering sitting up. this is the best brooklynn has done. the pillow behind her is NOT touching her at all. she is doing pretty good. Still falls side to side, but hold her sitting up position pretty stinking well.

.brooklynn has mastered standing at the futon. she LOVES to do it. granted, we still have to be there to catch her every once in a while, but she did this at 4 months... so now (a month later) she is pretty good at it.

.she also can feed herself pretty stinking well. she sometimes drops it every now and than, but overall, she has got it down.

.she has gotten tall enough to reach the hanging toys from her exersaucer that grandma debbie got her....and she loves it. when she cant grab it, she gets frustrated.. it hilarious.

.she has two new things grandma debbie sent in the mail for her last week. one is this AWESOME teether...you can put ice in it, fruits, veggies, and they cant choke on it...we stuck dried apple slices, and she LOVED it.

.grandma debbie also sent this ADORABLE booties. they are size newborn, so they fit her RIGHT now... she we havent got as much use as we want out of them.. it has been 85+ degrees this last week... but its suppose ot start getting nasty cold... so I think you will see them more in pictures. they are ADORABLE.

.and we have had a few rough nights okay she is just sleeping 9.5 hours instead of her 10-12 hours).. and we wake up with amazingly cool mohawks like this... it takes skill to not do a thing to create this masterpiece but sleep. 

.sorry the pictures are not perfect, they are from my phone, I am hoping to get some really fun videos blogged here soon. !! Until next time...
