ACM Weekend

A year ago it was announced that the Academy of Country Music Awards would be in Dallas this year, and we bought tickets right away! Pre-sale, in fact. So we waited a good year for last weekend, and it did not disappoint! I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Although we waited two hours for the rain to pass each night, we still had a blast!

The line-up
Friday




Josh Abbott!





My phone died before the good concerts that night, but rest assure we had a good time!

Saturday



Waiting out the rain stinks!






Sunday night was the Awards show! My ears are still ringing from all those people and the LOUD cheering.




I think all the girls were just a little excited to see Reba! :)



The boys looked nice! Minus Collin's cheesy grin ;)



We made so many funny memories. It was such a fun weekend!

A BIG thank you to Leann for coming down to watch our sweet girl! We got so many cute pictures all weekend.. it's safe to say Brooklyn had as good of a weekend as we did!

Five Months

Five months already!! I can't even describe the amount of joy this little girl has brought to our lives. 

She is all smiles lately.. even in the early mornings when I go to wake her up, her eyes are so tired and red, but she still manages to smile at me the whole time while I change her and talk to her. 

She has gotten pretty good at rolling around. She gets so excited when she rolls onto her tummy. She lifts her strong head so high and smiles at us.. making sure we saw what she just did! The night time is a different story and she does NOT smile when she rolls onto her tummy. She likes to sleep on her side and accidentally ends up on her stomach all too often. Many nights we have woken up just to roll her back onto her back.

She is a little eater and loves her baby food as well as anything else we will let her try :) She is so interested in everything we eat and will even try to grab our food as we are eating it! Although, she seems very content with her 5 ounces every 3-4 hours.

She has adapted this weird growling/grunting noise and does it pretty much 24/7. It was cute at first, but now it's getting a little out of hand! We think she will have A LOT to say one day.

Her sleep is still a work in progress. She wakes up 1-2 times a night. Once is usually due to rolling on her stomach, and the other is because she is hungry. We have become used to it, and know this time will pass.

For the most part, she only cries when she is hungry, overly tired, or the sun is in her eyes in the car seat. This is a big step from what it used to be. She is so smiley, cuddly, and CUTE! 




These two are pretty much buddies now.



When you're five months it's more fun to play around in your crib ;)


Pretty blue eyes!






Trying to sit up! She is pretty good when she has the boppy around her.


Her expressions crack me up!


She loves grabbing our faces!

Snoozin' on her side


Working hard on holding her bottle!


Looking up at her daddy. She smiles like this at him even when he just walks across the room.



We love you so much, Brooklyn!

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend filled with family, sports, and of course, lots of food & candy!




We enjoyed our first Easter craft! It only took around 100 attempts.


Oldest to youngest!

My dad's street set up a movie night for the kids. They were watching Big Hero 6 until it started to rain!


Brooke attempted to join the big kids..


but settled for the stroller instead :)



 The back yard pool official opened, too!


Sunday morning was rainy and nasty, but we made it to church. Brooke stayed in the nursery the whole time, too! The first time we took her, the service started at 4pm and we were paged to come get her around... 4:02pm :)

She even got to see the Easter bunny (who needed to run his suit through the wash).



Love my little family :)

We came home and cooked a big Easter lunch, while the kids hunted Easter eggs and begged for more candy before lunch :) haha!


After lunch it was naps all around. We had a pretty great weekend!


Happy Easter!
