Brooke was fairly happy with her artwork work and writing that she did throughout church… PS Brooke calls Andrew about ten completely different names and we simply let her name him no matter she feels snug with. More often than not she calls him Andrew, shu-shu is certainly one of her favorites and pop occurs randomly too. We wish her to resolve on what she calls him as a result of at this age she doesn’t totally perceive every part and I simply need her to be as snug as potential.
They’re at all times enjoying some type of recreation collectively… Andrew is a giant child when the little children are round.
One in every of my favourite treats are the large pink sugar cookies from SWIG and I attempted to recreate them at dwelling with this recipe. The frosting didn’t end up wonderful however the really cookie was fairly dang shut.
After our cookie baking I fell asleep as a result of I really feel like Sunday naps are virtually obligatory and woke as much as this scene.

One thing enjoyable—> My sister might be running a blog over right here one or two instances a month. I’m excited so that you can get to know her slightly bit higher! However first, I needed to share a couple of random sister info earlier than she blogs right here.
1. We shared a room from the time I used to be born till she was 16. Speak about bonding.
2. When she moved away, she lived everywhere in the nation for a couple of years. This was earlier than she had a cellphone + she didn’t have a landline. She would put her little boy (she solely had one on the time) within the jogging stroller and run a couple of miles to the closest pay cellphone and ensure she was one of many very first individuals to name me on my birthday.
3. One summer season when she was residing in Wyoming I stayed along with her for a couple of weeks. We ran in every single place we went along with her jogging stroller—> to the grocery retailer which was a couple of miles away, to Blockbuster, to the rec heart, to take a step aerobics class and to purchase Skittles on the fuel station. I might put the Skittles within the freezer as a result of I used to be actually into frozen Skittles for awhile.
3. As soon as after I was in highschool my boyfriend and I broke up proper earlier than a college dance. My sister picked me up for the weekend of the dance and drove me right down to Las Vegas for a weekend of buying and consuming scrumptious meals collectively.
4. When my mother was pregnant with me my sister already had three brothers and prayed each evening that I might be a woman. She lucked out.
5. When she first moved away to go to varsity (aka 20 minutes away) it was so exhausting on me. I referred to as her dorm room cellphone obsessively and left messages continuously. My mother and father determined to purchase me slightly white poodle to assist hold me firm as a result of I missed her a lot. I named my canine’s center title after her.
6. Trace of lime chips, bin sweet on the grocery retailer, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Dealer Joe’s gummy Mango! Mango! will at all times remind me of her and our weekend film marathons again within the day.
7. Alias (the present with Jennifer Gardner), Felicity and Buffy the Vampire Slayer can even at all times remind me of her. We had been fully hooked on watching these exhibits collectively.
8. She will get me laughing ridiculously exhausting. I don’t assume our humor is humorous to anybody else however we certain get one another laughing exhausting.
9. She is the one which obtained me working within the very first place. I believe my favourite working reminiscence along with her was up within the canyon on a working path. Once I instructed her that I may be transferring out of state within the subsequent couple of months, she stopped useless in her tracks and simply laid down on the bottom along with her eyes closed. I used to be laughing so exhausting on the entire scene and he or she stated she couldn’t transfer as a result of her coronary heart was hurting so dangerous. PS She is again working once more!!! At one level her physician instructed her that she would by no means be capable of run once more as a result of her again was so dangerous however after surgical procedure and many restoration she is fortunately working (along with her physician’s approval after all) pain-free once more!
10. She has helped me a ridiculous quantity to get me by way of the hardest instances in life. She loves my kiddos (goodness she handled Knox like he was her very personal particular buddy because the first time she met him) like loopy. You must see her as a mother to these 5 children of hers. They completely adore her and he or she loves them fully.
