FALL IS HERE!!!!!!

We took Brooklyn and Karson up to Cascade Springs, in American Fork Canyon, just as the leaves were starting to change color. What a beautiful canyon.

Brooklyn loved stepping on the leaves and hearing them crunch.

Karson had fun climbing on everything and showing his puppies "Web" and "ChiChi" everything too.

Cascade Springs has tons of paths to walk on that take you through the springs. Its so beautiful up there.
It's funny because Karson always wanted me to carry him but Brooklyn would throw a fit if I wouldn't let her walk. You think it would be the other way around.



Karson getting a ride on his dads shoulders and "Web" getting a shoulder ride from Karson. Karson will ask every Sunday if we are going up the canyon after church! Brooklyn exploring through the trees. This little girl has no fear. She wanted to get into the water all day long. She had sooo much fun exploring! Both kids love the canyon and it's a great way to wear them out!






SO BIG!!!!!
I love this picture...it just shows you how much fun she was having.
Here are some pictures I took while driving thru the American Fork Canyon. This was just as the leaves were starting to change. It's amazing how fast everything changes. I am trying to learn photography and these are some of my amateur photos. I don't really know what I am doing, I just know that I love nature and can't help but take pictures of things I find beautiful.

Brooklyn sat there for about 40 minutes just tearing up the paper...it was so fun to watch
 
Karson rolled out the "white" carpet for us to go downstairs to the toy room.

I needed to get some cleaning done around the house and the kids were wanting me to play with them...so I gave them each a roll of toilet paper to play with while I finished up the house work. They had so much fun! I think this is the cheapest play date we've had in a long time.

DINNER TIME!!!

With Brian being gone....I've had to figure out what to do for dinner. It has been a chore trying to find something the kids will actually eat(especially Karson)...I think I found a Winner....ALFREDO!!!!!!
 

 

 
THEY CHOWED!!!

GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!!!!!!!!

http://www.myacn.com/digital
Hey everyone! I am so exicted about this new phone!!!! I want everyone in the world to get one, escpecially everyone I care about staying in touch with. I know these blogs are GREAT, but these phones can change the way we all communicate. This phone allows you to see the person you are talking to as long as they have the same phone. I've ordered mine and I want everyone to take a look at this. Wouldn't you like your kids to be able to see Grandma, Grandpa, AUnts and Uncles, Cousins, friends etc...when they talk to them on the phone!! I think this would be a great Christmas Gift for all family memebers!!!! The great thing is you can keep your current phone number and the phone itself is free. If anybody is interested let me know. I would love my kids to be able to talk to all of you and be able to see you and know who you are by seeing your face. I love technology!!!!

I FINALLY got this done. I know there are alot of pictures, but I couldn't choose which ones I liked best, so I just showed them all.....Hope you enjoy....we did! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKLYN MARIE HASKELL!

Saturday, August 23, 2008


Brooklyn is now ONE!!!!! I can't believe she is already one. Time has flown by and I am so proud of my little girl. She has brought such joy and happiness into our home. Karson has proven to be a great older brother and helper to Brookie. I want Brooklyn to know that I love her so much and appreciate the smiles and laughter that she has brought into my life. I have so much love and adoration for her! Her smile brightens my day, I'm addicted to it!

Her milestones are: Walking, climbing the stairs by herself, making great big messes while eating. She can say....dog....that....dada....moma.....ball....and something that means Karson, but doesn't sound like it at all!

Her hobbies: She LOVES to dance and sing, she points to the radio when it's turned off and shakes her head and that means to turn it on. She also loves sliding down any slide she can find or anything that may look like a slide. She loves being outside and playing with Karson and his friend Marshall and the neighbor boy Patrick who is 2.

Her favorite foods: Brookie LOVES fruit...watermelon, peaches, cantalope, pears, and bananas. She also loves any kind of noodle....Mac-n-cheese (of course), spaghetti, alfredo, and ramon noodles. She really enjoys banana bread and zucchni bread too. Of course can't forget fruit snacks, crackers amd juice boxes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKIE!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!

YUMMY!!!!! Brookie Loves corn-on-the-cob. We went to Washington for the 4th of July. We stayed with my sister Rachelle. We had sooo much fun. The kids loved it there and want to get on the airplane again and go back. This is Brooklyns first time eating corn-on-the-cob. She thought is was pretty good. There is always good food at Rachies house. Thanks Rachelle for letting us stay with you....we will come again soon!
Karson and Ashie!! Who would have ever thought they would eventually like each other and play so good together.
Brayden is soooo good with kids. Karson and Brooklyn adore him.
Charlies Angels?????
Happy 4th of July!!!!!
My sweet girl! I lover her face!

JUST CHILLIN!




Brooklyn LOVES being outdoors. When we are inside she will grab my fingers to help her walk and she will lead upstairs or down the hall or anyway she can to get to a window or door so that I will take her outside. She sat here for about 45 minutes, just chillin. She was enjoying the warm day we finally had to it's fullest. She loves playing in the bark, rocks and dirt....just like her brother.

T-BALL

Karson's first T-Ball Game! The helmet was huge.
Karson is left handed when he is batting but throws right handed. He hit the ball really well! He didn't enjoy playing in the outfield as much. He sat down on the pitcher's mound and lookd at bugs and played in the dirt. After his first game I was trying to explain to him that when he is in the outfield that he is supposed to try and get the abll after someone hits it, and throw it to a base. So the second game, he would get up to bat, hit the ball, and then try and get the ball before anyone else....it was so funny. You can definately tell he hasn't played the game before, it's just fun to see him interact with the other kids and learn from them.
He had to hold onto the helmet while he was running because if he didn't he couldn't see where he was going.
He looks to little out there....I can't believe he is old enough to do sports now! It is soooo exciting!
The home stretch finally!
Third Base!
Karson with some of his team. He is so out going, he asked each and everyone of them "what's your name" The amazing thing about Karson is that he remembers all of their names and even his coaches name. When we were driving home he asked me what their names were and I failed miserably, but he remembered every one! I need to practice my memory skills just to keep up with him, he gets frustrated when I can't name them all.
Karson and his best friend Marshall comparing mitts!
Brooklyn being a great supporter of her BIG brother Karson!

Christmas 2007


Brooklyn and Karson in their Christmas red!

Brooklyn loves watching all the other cousins. I love her SMILE!

Karson with the Haskell cousins! (Jake, Emily, KC, Kaleb and Karson) We always get together at Grandma and Grandpa Haskell's on Christmas eve, eat lots of YUMMY food and open gifts from our buddies and from Grandma and Grandpa. Everyone has a great time and then we get the kids home and in bed so Santa can come.

Karson got a shaving kit for Christmas too! Daddy is showing him how to do it. I think he will be shaving about ten times a day for a while!


Best Friends!!!


Karson got a huge Transformer!! He was so excited. It only took Daddy two hours to figure out how to transform it.


Brooklyn was so happy Christmas morning!


Christmas morning!! Mommy, Karson and Brooklyn
