I spend every min possible with Amanda and my new little niece Brooklyn, who is now 7 weeks old!!! I went shopping everyday (no cute winter clothes here in Alaska, so had to bring an empty suitcase down so I could fill it will new clothes) I got to enjoy Cafe Rio, which Alaska is so missing out on and many Wendy's runs with Amanda. I even got to see my sis in-law Nikki and her baby Lexi for a little bit. It was just so nice to be home and happy. Sunday was Brooklyn's blessing and Scott did so amazing. Brooklyn wore Amanda's blessing outfit and just looked absolutely beautiful. I think Brooklyn definately knows who her favorite Aunt is :)She is probably the prettiest baby ever, I don't even know if it's possible to have a prettier baby. Amanda is the world's best mom and I love that she lets our family step up and help her. Every night my dad would bath her, she LOVES the tub and just swims like a frog pushing off the tub with her legs. I would lotion and dress her and I would take naps with her everyday. I taught her how to stick out her tongue over and over and I got her to start smiling and cooing, now Amanda says all she does is smile and coo. I love this girl so much, it's hard to imagine I could love anyone more than I do little Brooklyn. I told Amanda over and over I felt like she was mine :) But I sure missed my husband and our puppies... they were all so excited to see me. Jeff just wouldn't stop hugging me and the dogs were seizuring they were so excited. It's nice to be home with my husband but I would trade everything I have to be home with my family. This was an incredible trip home with so many laughs and plenty of good bye tears. Christmas better come soon so I can see the faces of everyone I love. I really have the best family ever and it was so good to see them all.
Jaxon loves his little cousin Book book... he was so cute with her, always trying to share his toys and kissing her. What a cute kid
OH how i will miss nap time with this little one... she is the world's best cuddler and makes the cutest noises when she is sleeping.
Little Lexi was kind of throwing a tantrum (no thanks to her mommy :) so after she slept for 10 min with a blanket over her face she was the happiest baby ever. Oh how I miss her too.
Sure was nice to see my grandparents too.
For family night, we went to Gardner Village. Poor boys had no idea what they were getting themselves into but it was well worth the trip up just to laugh so hard that a few or us (names with held) cried and peed their pants... this 2 hr event gave us enough laughter to hold us over for years and years to come.
