9 Months

This little girl of mine is BEAUTIFUL and ADORABLE with a hysterical head of hair that is always out of control. She is so much fun and learning so many new "tricks" every day.Now that she is officially 9 months old I would like to take a moment to brag about my new favorite person.......

1- still no teeth

2- still not crawling

3- Says Mamma and Dadda

4- Waves bye bye. When she wakes up from her naps she likes to wave bye bye so I know she wants to leave the room. So CUTE!

5- Hates baby food (too bad I have a pantry full of the stupid stuff!) She only likes big people food and is a champ and feeding herself.
6- Dances on command

7- Spits on command (pretty sure dad taught her)

Her little cheeks must hurt by the end of the day from all her beautiful grinning! She still will pretty much go to anyone which is so nice.

It has been fun comparing the differences/similarities between Brooklyn and Leah. These are my favorites:

Brooklyn always looked picture perfect. She wore shoes every day and most days she also had little stick on earrings to match her outfits, and a bow to match every outfit......

I just bought Leah her first pair of shoes, and she cried when I put them on.

I love her all Natur-al. Her hair is so darn cute I usually just comb it and go. Love it.

Though she is so stinkin hyper, she is not yet crawling. She rolls, scoots, and army crawls, but I am starting to believe she really may never crawl. She still manages to make a mess and destroy most things in her path.....

I can't believe we are nearing her first birthday. So sad, but so fun. I love this age!

Lately I have been Loving the stages and ages of my girls. I spend most days wising time could just stop and we could go on like this forever!

Fisher Reunion

Since I only pulled out my camera twice the whole reunion, I don't have many pictures to show, but let it be known that it was a blast! I really do look forward to these reunions every summer and feel so blessed to marry into such a fun, close family (even if they are a little nuts too!).

The theme this year was "western" so Brooklyn made herself a festive vest out of a brown paper bag .I must admit I had more fun coloring it than she did!

The happiest baby in the world! I need to dedicate some serious time to making a post all about my adorable little Lou. She is such a little trooper on trips and is often better than she is at home!

Hangin out with Grandpa Fisher and Uncle J.

Yes, I still let aunt Julie hold her and watch her anytime I get the chance, even though the last time she did watch her, little 2 year old Keaton took it upon himself to shave the top of Leah's hair off! I'ts only hair..... it's only hair......

Can't wait until next year. Hopefully we will be without the snow/hail storm, mosquitos EVERYWHERE, and Aunt Kathy and her western get-up!

The 4th

We had a simple, but fun Fourth this year. We went to my Uncle's house out of town for a BBQ and then watched the fireworks later that night. I haven't been to his house in years, and with such a beautiful landscape in his backyard, I couldn't help but snap a few pictures of my cute "little" girls! I don't know when it happened, but somewhere between month six and seven, Leah has exploded. I'm sure she is well over the 20lb. mark and shows no sign of stopping. Don't you just love the Leg?? So fat!

I just love dressing these two little dolls up in matching outfits. I don't know if what I buy is always cute, or if I just buy it cause it is so rare to find something in Brooklyn's size and one in Leah's!

6 Months and 4 Years

These are just a few of the pictures I just got done of the girls. These were Leah's 6 month pictures and Brooklyn's 4 year pictures. Their individual ones turned out Beautiful, but they both ran out of steam when it came to their pictures together. I won't complain since I already have too many adorable ones to choose from!

While I love Brooklyn in these pictures, it makes me realize what a big girl she is getting to be. No longer my Little girl. But just as beautiful as ever!


This is Jonny's favorite picture of both girls. This is the face Leah makes all the time and this is my sweet little Brooklyn with her beautiful smile like always.

This is MY wheelchair!!!

Even though I have never seen family guy, I came across this video and it reminded me of a little someone

If you don't know Brooklyn, this video will not hit your funny bone the way it did ours.

She throws a complete fit if someone touches, looks at, or forbid sits in her wheelchair, which I totally support. She loves her wheelchair, maybe a little too much. Just like this crazy guy!

(You may need to pause the inspirational music that is playing at the side of my blog for the full effect)

M-I-C-K-E-Y- M-O-U-S-E!

Well, I am finally getting around to posting about our family trip to the happiest place on earth, DISNEYLAND! Of course the trip started out in true Fisher fashion, in which we had a 9 hour delay before we could board the plane. You see, my drivers license had expired (unbeknown to me) and they wouldn't let us check in. Who knew! I hope the heartless Delta employee had a terrible nights sleep that night and was haunted of the picture of me bursting into tears as we walked out of line with Brooklyn wheeling herself behind me crying "I want to go to Disneyland!"

So after we found someone heading the way of the SLC airport (it was a miracle) with my passport in hand, we boarded the plane at 9:00 that night. Only I wanted to see if anyone in the whole airport cared that my license had expired, so I never pulled out my passport and wouldn't you know that the flight there and back, NO ONE even glanced at the expiration date!!

This was our late flight to California, only Brooklyn was much too excited to sleep. So cute!

The worst baby in the world, was on her best behavior (even if she did still wake us up a few times every night to say hello). We have decided that she is just a little partier who loves commotion and noise. Thank you Leah for not ruining the trip! I'm sure it was hard for you to be on your best behavior for a whole week.....

These were our adopted children for the week, Charlize and McCoy. It was so much fun going with my best friend Angela and her family. I'm not sure they would agree, seeing how I drug them around the whole time hunting down princesses. In the end they admitted they needed us though to get them to the front of the lines with Brooklyn's handy dandy wheelchair.

We felt so cool walking around like this. I think we looked pretty cool too!

This could be my favorite picture of the trip. Brooklyn LOVED it's a small world.

The Princess Breakfast: $110 dollars. Worth every penny to see Brooklyn so happy

I'm not sure why, but this picture or her hugging Belle, makes me emotional.

My favorite part of the breakfast was watching Brooklyn in-between the princesses coming to our table. She would frantically cram bacon in her mouth the second one of them would leave. Most of the time she would have a mouth full when another one would come to talk to her. Her two favorite things: Food and Princesses. She was in Heaven

I've been lucky enough to go on alot of fun vacations, but this was my favorite. It was exhausting, and crowded, but the most fun I've had in a long time. I know it was cause I was with my very favorite people!

The Big 4

I can't believe this my little girl is already 4! I love it, but I hate it!

She is the only other person I know that loves her birthday as much as I love mine. She asked about it months before and was convinced she wanted a Hannah Montana party. Once we got to the store it was so cute to see how torn she was between the princess stuff and the Hannah Montana stuff. I had to fill the cart with decorations for both and I saw her cute little face look back and forth between the two for a full 20 minutes before she finally settled on the Princess stuff.

For about 2 months, every time I tried to get her to do just about anything, she would tell me that when she turned four she would do it. She usually said this when I wanted her to practice her walking, or would encourage her to go on the potty.

So the morning of her birthday I went into her room to get her out of bed and she already had a big smile on her face cause she knew what special day it was. The first thing I said was "Brooklyn! YOU are finally 4"! Well she sat up and got a confused look on her face and looked down at her legs and said "But mom...I still can't walk".

I thought it was so cute at first, but as the day went on, she got more and more upset about it. I guess I hadn't really seen it through her eyes before, but I figured out that every four year old that she knows walks, so she just thought that that was the magic age that all kids start to walk.

So I finally told her that we would work on it really hard, but that it really didn't matter if she ever walked because she had a really cool wheelchair. Well she just about started crying and yelling "It's not OK! I have to walk mom, I have to"!

It really started to break my heart and I realized that it won't be long before she starts to realize that she doesn't do things the same as the other kids. Right now she just thinks she is the luckiest kid cause she has a wheelchair and the other kids have to walk!

Her party was so much fun. I went against my better judgment and made the cake this year. I trusted the lady on the Betty Crocker video that said making a castle cake is really quite simple. 4 containers of frosting, 3 cake mixes, 9 eggs, and 15 hours of cake making later, I wanted to throw it against the wall, and honestly the thought of eating it made me nauseous (of course I still managed to eat a piece)

All that mattered was Brooklyn loved it!

Favorite Gifts:
She loved her baby she got that goes pee in a diaper, her princess barbie, her cash register, and her Princess and the Frog movie.

This little girl loves:

Putting on concerts where she spins around on her bum to dance

Taylor Swift

Miley Cyrus

Painting her Nails

Pretending she is her cool aunt Noel....all day long. I actually have to call her Noel most days!

Wearing my shoes on her hands as she "walks" around the house

(Wonder what she wished for)

Love you Brookie! You have the most beautiful smile and funniest sense of humor. You are really so stinkin smart and remember EVERYTHING! You make everyone around you smile. You don't have to walk to do that!

Now stop growing up!
