Brooklyn's Baptism

Brooklyn was Baptized last Sunday with three other kids in our ward. It was a very exciting time for her. Two of her friends Elizabeth and Faith were also baptized. She was a little nervous once she went into the font but then she looked up and was happy when she saw all her family and friends. Jon and I both can't believe that another one of our children is Baptized. It doesn't seem that long ago that Morgan was Baptized. We are blessed to have such great parents that support us and are willing to come to such special occasions!
We are all proud of Brooklyn and the choice she made to be baptized!

I just wanted to write down eight great things about Brooklyn!

1. She is my best helper! She's always wanting to help sweep, clean the windows, and cook with mom.

2. She's a great big sister to Maddie! Lately Maddie has been playing house with Brooklyn and she calls her Mom, Brooklyn informed me that she's the FAKE mommy and I'm still her REAL mommy!

3. Mason and her have this love/hate relationship (not really). He's constantly teasing her and inturn her feelings get hurt. But in the evening they love to read together and sometimes even sleep together.

4. She loves to ride her bike, play tag, and is enjoying her first year of soccer!

5. She's is quite an artist! She's always coloring and drawing. When my parents were here she made a book for my mom of all her drawings. My mom was thrilled to be able to take it back to CO with her!

6. She's very independent and quite responsible for an eight year old. Sometimes she gets lost in the suffle b/c there's Morgan the oldest, then Mason the only boy, Brooklyn, then Brinley/Maddie that are constantly needing me! Brooklyn just knows how to hold her own!

7. She loves to play Barbies, pretend school, Polly Pockets, American Girl Dolls, and her new thing is listening to her new Ipod Shuffle.

8. Brooklyn has been telling people (her teachers at school, some friends) that her name is Brooke. I loved the name Brooklyn long before I even was pregnant with her so I'm still telling people that her name is Brooklyn!

We are blessed to have Brooklyn in our family and are sad that she's growing up so fast!

That Brooklyn is such a great kid! I loved the book of pictures that she made for me. I'm adding her family picture to my bulletin board in my office. And, when I want to I can change that picture out with any one of the 20 other pictures she drew. You can imagine my chagrin when she said, "Grandma, you draw a picture." Gulp! Angst attack!
