Trey had 10 days off for spring break, so we made the most of it! We first went down to Ila to see DDaddy and Nana, then flew out to AZ Monday. Trey stayed till Sunday night and I stayed till Tuesday morning. ...And the Blogging begins! We got to the Gooch's at midnight their time, 3am our time Monday night. We basically spent Tuesday morning taking pictures of Bella and Brooklyn together. We are already planning for them to be roommates at BYU! Half day Tuesday we left to Yuma where my sister Dana met up with us from California. It was such a highlight to have her with us there and she basically took over being Mom for the two and a half days! I loved it! She carried or pushed her around more than I did! (Isn't she gorgeous!) My Grandmparent travel like my parents! A million miles an hour! Grandpa wanted us to start the day at 6am (generously giving up his morning tennis match) to take us to breakfast, then go to Mexico, then go to the date farms, then the farmer's marke...

An Insane 3 weeks! If you have been wondering why you haven't seen or heard from me for the past month, it is because it has been CRAZY! We went from Atlanta/Ila/Athens to Chattanooga to Nashville back to Atlanta and Ila so Bree could see it, then to Chattanooga , back to Nashville to fly to Phoenix, drove to Yuma , to Mexico , and back to Phoenix and finally home this Tuesday! All in 3 weeks! Brooklyn was a total trooper , and our prayers were answered that she was able to stay healthy and strong ! She also had a lot of firsts these past weeks. She's is still growing like crazy and is a whopping 20 pounds at 6 months, is sitting up , rolling every which way and is basically able to get to anything she wants and put it in her mouth - which also proves that only the power of prayer could have kept her from getting sick! She went on the swing for the first time, went to a lot of new places and is now eating foods like rice cereal , oatmeal and sweet potato - thou...

So, Brooklyn is grabbing everything at such a rate I can barely keep up with her. I decided I was loosing too much hair from her getting a few strands and pulling, so, like 90% of moms, I chopped my hair. You may notice a bruise on my left arm from her biting me as well! More blogs to come. Look at the Gooches for some photos of our trip to Phoenix with them. I haven't even been onto the computer till now since I got back! Trey also cut his hair recently. He cut his own, even though he promised I could cut it for him! Isn't he hot! He's working out a lot getting ready for Valpo!

We are definitely feeling spring coming with Baseball Season, Spring break visits from Bree, Mom and Dad and great weather! I've never enjoyed such an early spring! I have had a blast with my parents and Bree, showing them our little haven in Chattanooga! I will write more, but for now, here are some photos! Baseball at McCallie - Everyone is matching! Just a really cute (and chunky) Baby! Grandmother Mary at the Atlanta Temple, helping Brooklyn become a flower child! Mom took it upon herself to give Brooklyn her first food! We were eating lunch and Brooklyn was grabbing at everything, wanting to eat with us. She decided that it was better for her to have a savery item rather than something sweet - so she gave her a pickle! I suggested her whole grain, organic rice cereal was a better option, but we started that that day too! We went straight from Atlanta, where Mom and Dad flew in to D-Daddy and Nana's in Ila GA! We got the grand tour and the whole family came by to meet t...
