I am loving this new year. It has brought so many new and fun things. One of the things it has brought is "Date Night". Best thing we have ever done! Every Tuesday night we have a date. We switch off every other week, and on our week to plan it we have to plan something that the other person would want to do. So on my weeks I have to plan something Casey would do. It is so nice and refreshing. It makes me stop thinking about myself and what I always want to do and do something for him. I also love that I know every Tuesday it is our night. Sometimes we go out and sometimes we stay home. Depending on what we do is whether Brooklyn is invited or not.
Another thing this year has brought is walking! Brooklyn has been walking for about a week now, maybe a little more. But it so dang cute! She is getting better and better at it each day. The first couple days of walking she would take a few steps and stop and start bouncing or clapping her hands with the biggest grin on her face to show us how excited she was. Now she just tries to goes as fast as she can and ends up eating it.
I can't believe that she is almost 11 months and next month she will be one! It seriously blows me away! Time is going by so fast, but we are trying to enjoy every moment of it! I absolutely love being a stay at home mom. I totally thought I would get bored or would go crazy from being inside all day. But I love it! I love playing with Brooklyn all day. In light of it being the month of love I need to express my love for my entire family! I can't ever thank Casey enough for what he has given Brooklyn and I by having me home all day. I got so lucky when I married him. Not only with him but with his family. I love them so much! He has two older sisters that are the best examples ever!! And such good friends/sisters I could ask for. I also love his brothers and his little sister. I am so grateful for his parents and the way they raised him. I also love my family so much! This past week my baby brother got Baptized and it was so amazing! I can't believe how lucky I am to have grown up with all brothers. I love each and every single one of them. It was hard at times not ever having a "friend" to play with or on family vacations when all we did was "boy" stuff. But that is where my amazing mother came in. She is the best friend I could ever have. The best example to me ever! I love her so much and am so grateful that I am the only girl so I never had to share :D I love my dad so much, you wouldn't believe the example that he is. His family has hated him and rejected him since he was 19 and decided to join the church. It has been nothing but Hell for him. And he has stuck through everything and been an amazing father and example. I will never be able to thank him enough for what he has done for our family.
Anyways here are some pictures from this past month. Enjoy!
