Happy Birthday Brooklyn

Things I love about Brooklyn:

Her independence
Her sweetness
Her curiousness
Her willingness to help her sister
Her socialness
Her beautiful eyes and full lips
and many more things, but I'm runnung low on time - and am not on my computer and can't get it to upload the pictures I want (sigh)

Brooklyn is 3 years old today. I just wanted to post a few pictures of her (but it's not working right now I'll do it later) and let her know how much we love her. We can't imagine life without her and her bubbly personality. She is incredibly smart (I know I am her Mom and am a little biased, but she really is) and keeps us in line. If we even begin to whisper words remotely close to "shut-up" or "stupid" she sprints from across the house to tell us "we don't say those mean things to each other", and always reminds us to not yell at each other (unfortunately Mike has a voice that carries, so she thinks that when he talks very passionately about something, it is yelling and usually tries to defend my and tells him to stop yelling at me, thanks sweetie). And by the way I don't say shut-up when I want someone to stop talking, I usually say it in place of "no way" which is a bad habit, and I need to stop. But now after reading this you probably will wonder what goes on in my house, and that we use foul language and yell at each other all day. I promise that isn't the case. Anyways, Happy Birthday Brookey-Pooh!
