Mexico!

Collin and I just got back from such a fun trip to Cancun, Mexico! We went for one of Collin's best friends wedding. We stayed at Secrets Maroma Beach and it was gorgeous! It was also nice to spend some time with Collin away from the real world. That's always a good refresher!

The bride requested all the wedding guests to wear white. It turned out so nice!!

 

Reception by the pool

This was our favorite Entertainment Team guy who put us on stage for the Minute to Win it games and I won!

Headed into the spa. Massages on vacation's like this are a must!

Swim out rooms

We're so cheesy :)

Miami Vice, anyone?!

This was so fun! For lunch one day, about 30 chefs started walking around all over the pool with trays filled with different foods. There were chefs canoeing in the pools with mini cheeseburgers!

Playing some volleyball!

 

Looking at these pictures has me wanting to plan our next vacation already!! We had such a fun, fun time!!!

Eight Months

Here we are at 8 months!

 Our little Brooke has become so active and LOUD! She is non stop blabbering. She says mama, dada, baba, and whatever other combination you can put together. It's not necessarily directed at anything or anyone, but she says it all, only because she never stops talking! She has also started clicking her tongue and thinks that is pretty funny!

She still refuses to crawl! She is much more interested in standing while holding on to the couch or table. She loves it when we hold her hands and let her "walk". 

We haven't found a food she refuses to eat and she gets so excited anytime she sees us making a bottle. Puffs and other snacks will keep her busy for a while!

She is getting more and more aware of her surroundings every day. She will cry when either Collin or I leave the room and smile whenever we come back. Along with that she has started to get upset if we take something away from her (like my phone) that she shouldn't have. Drama! 

She is so silly and constantly making us laugh. We love you so much, Brooklyn!

There's no time to sit still for 8 month pictures!

We were cracking up at this!

 

Her first time swinging and she loved it! She thought it was hilarious every time she swung close to me. So far she has no fear! She loves it when we throw (more like lift) her in the air or hold her upside down!

She was playing with her stool and the next thing I know...

 she pulled herself right up!

This is what older cousins do to you ;)

Another month will be here before we know it! We are soaking it all up and absolutely loving every minute!

4th of July

We had the most picture perfect 4th of July this year! There was friends, family, swimming, water volleyball, burgers, hot dogs, sparklers, and whole lot of fun! 

Fruit Pizza!

It wouldn't be the 4th of July without feeling sick from watching the hot dog eating contest!

 

 

It's blurry, but see those two little boys flying over the net?! They LOVED it!
