WOW.... Okay so I know its been a long time and I am awful at updating this stupid thing. I dont know why, I have all the time in the world because I am not working and Brooklyn and I dont have a life, but I just dont think about it I guess and when I do I get lazy and think I'll do it tomorrow. Its funny how tomorrow turns into 10 months :)

"Tie" Dying Easter Eggs

2010-03-30T19:29:00.000-07:00

Okay so I recieved an email with some ideas for Dying Easter Eggs and I loved this idea so much I ran out to Goodwill and grabbed all the silk ties I could find, came home and prepared everything to Dye the Eggs. I decided to blow out the eggs so I can keep the eggs for years to come. Anyways this is how they turned out. Here is the link.

2010-03-16T16:55:00.000-07:00

Wow- I cant believe how time flies, it really does not feel like it has been a whole year since I brought Brooklyn into this world and what a blessing it has been :) We went to the Zoo for her Birthday and then we had a family party.

Hmmmm..... Has it really been almost a year since my last post?

2010-03-16T16:13:00.001-07:00

Okay so I do realize that it has been almost a year since my last post, what can I say time just flew by and and I got so far behind I was like what's the point, but I decided to just get on and do it. So I am not going to post everything that has happened in the last year but I will do some of the important stuff, like uh our daughter's 1st Birthday, Halloween, Our trip to Orlando, Christmas, and a couple misc. things.

This is Brooklyn takinf her first steps :)

Brooklyn

2009-04-30T18:12:00.001-07:00

Brooklyn proving once again she can sleep anywhere and her first experience swimming. She absolutely loved it but the pool felt like bath water so who wouldn't? She also has started sitting all on her own which makes it really nice to be able to put her down and not have her fall over.

Brooklyn's First Easter

2009-04-30T18:12:00.000-07:00

For Brooklyn's first Easter Cory had to work so we spent the night at my mom's house and Cory met us there in the morning. We had a nice dinner with my family before Cory had to go back to work. Brooklyn had no idea what was going on even though I completely spoiled her. I guess an excuse to buy her things. My mom bought her a swing to have at her house and she loves it so much I am considering getting one for our house.

Cant walk but loves to dance!

Its Been Awhile Again

2009-04-09T10:30:00.001-07:00

So I guess I have come to the realization I do my posts in chunks. I wait a long time until I find time and have a lot to upload and then do it all at once. I should try to make it a habit of once a week at least, but there is just to many other things to worry about. Things are well here at the Litchfield Home. We love having Brooklyn in our life and everyday is a new adventure with her. She is always making us laugh even when she is being difficult as shown in the video. She got her first 2 bottom teeth this past month, which was real fun! (Not Really) She rolls everywhere and we think she will soon be crawling, she knows how to inch herself, but gets really frustrated after awhile and gets upset. She loves bath time and we though she was getting better at sleeping through the night until this past week.

Fun at the doctors office, until they poke me!

I can Sleep Anywhere!

This is what I think of that!

2009-03-17T08:42:00.000-07:00

So we entered Brooklyn into the Movin 92.5 Baby Idol. I am thinking that the contest is all about who you know and how many of them will actually vote for her. If you would like to help Brooklyn out you can go to www.movin925.com/babyidol to vote for her. She is on page 8 under Brooklyn L. You can vote up to 10 times a day until Friday the for this round.

She is sure talkative

1st Cereal

2009-01-22T11:57:00.000-08:00

January 15th we tried to give Brooklyn her first rice cereal, needless to say she didnt like it so much, she kept pushing it out with her tongue. I am in no hurry to feed her solids, I think Ill wait until she asks for it.

Catch Up Time

2009-01-06T11:51:00.000-08:00

So I have just spent that last couple hours trying to catch up long overdue blog posts. I cant believe we are in January of 2009. I know its been awhile, I am going to try to be better at updating the blog, its hard to find time between working, housework, sleeping and of course constantly entertaining Brooklyn between her what seems like constant feedings. I cant believe she is 3 1/2 months already. She smiles, laughs, plays and is almost rolling over. If I thought time went fast before, its going 10 times faster now. Here are some of my favorite pictures of her.

Christmas & Brooklyn's First Snow

2009-01-06T11:13:00.000-08:00

We came home from California to never ending snow and ice. Another First for Brooklyn, I had to dress her up and at least get some pictures of her. Its like a Christmas Story all over again. (She's really not that big, her body only fits in like half that outfit.) Brooklyn had her first pictures with Santa this year. She ended up spitting up all over him, I wonder if that is a sign of things to come in the next few years? Christmas was a little different this year. Cory had to work Christmas Eve and Christmas Day which made spending time as a family a little difficult. Christmas morning he made it home in time to open presents with Brooklyn even though she had no clue what was going on. Cory and I only did stockings for each other. Finances were a little rough this year with me being out of work for Brooklyn's birth and Cory missing a month of work after having his appendix taken out the day after Thanksgiving, So Brooklyn was the only one spoiled this year. We spent Christmas morning with Cory's family so he could go play his traditional football and then I went to my family's later when he was leaving to go back to work. Every year I realize how extremely blessed we are. The amount of love that is shown to us not only through out the whole year,but especially at this time of year is incredible to me. I cant even imagine how it came to be that we are so truly fortunate, especially when I compare our lives to those truly in need. The Lord has given us so much and I am so grateful for the answers that come from prayers and blessings. Brooklyn is truly our miracle and the only gift I needed for this Christmas.

Funny story... Cory and I had just got done getting ready and dressed up to go get pictures. Right before we were about to walk out the door we noticed Brooklyn had gone to the bathroom and needed to be changed, it was so bad I had to hold her legs up while Cory wiped so she wouldn't get her feet in it and just as Cory was about done, she decided she wasn't done yet and literally like a squirt gun shot Cory with poop all down the front of his shirt and pants. What made it even more funny was how we had literally not even seconds before that moment were talking about how bad that would be if that happened. So hoping we wouldn't be late Cory ran and changed his clothes kind of screwing up what color scheme we had and off to pictures we went. She was awake the whole time and did really well except we couldn't get her to smile or just as she did it would be to late when she took the picture.

California

2009-01-06T10:35:00.000-08:00

December 10th Brooklyn had her first hairplane ride (or at least that's what I called it when I was younger) to Long Beach, CA, we then drove an hour and a half to Carlsbad where Cory's sister Kandi, Carson and their little girl Maddi live. We flew down with Cory's brothers Darren, his wife Brandi and Kevin and met his parents who were already at Kandi's house. Kandi had no idea we were coming so when we showed up at her house at 11:00pm at night she was surprised to say the least, her expression was priceless and I wish we had gotten it on camera. We had a wonderful time catching up on family time. Brooklyn had many of her firsts here. First trip to the Pacific Ocean as well as Sea World and first time down the slide at the park. The day we went to Sea World was cold, rainy and windy, not the best of days for walking around a theme park, but we still had fun.

New Kids on the Block- A dream come true

2009-01-06T09:56:00.000-08:00

So as a kid I fell in love with New Kids on the Block and once they broke up 15 years ago, never thought they would get back together, well I guess I was wrong. In November my niece Hayley and I had the chance to go see them in concert. Although she had no idea who they were, I think she had some good quality time with her Aunt who she never sees. Anyway they were fantastic. I fell in love all over again, and would pay to go see them over and over again. Natasha Bedingfield and Lady Gaga opened for them, whom both of them I love as well. So I guess I can cross that off my list of things to do before I die.

Halloween at our House

2008-11-01T14:22:00.000-07:00

So we had Ryan, Cindy, Darren & Brandi come to our house for Halloween, we didn't get a picture of all of us, not sure why? Cory last minute decided to dress up as a crazy pregnant lady using my maternity shirt, isn't he cute? We dressed Brooklyn up as a little bunny. We had lots of goodies including dinner in a pumpkin and my kitty litter cake which barely got eaten, I guess nobody could stomach it or something, not sure why? It was really good, and it didn't taste like kitty litter or poop at all. We had so much candy and desserts, we were all sick by the end of the night. We also decorated our house really spooky, we had a fog machine that put off so much fog that it looked like our house was on fire. We didn't get as many trick or treaters as we thought we would, but I had fun decorating any ways.

Pumpkin Patch & Hay Ride

2008-11-01T14:06:00.000-07:00

Lindsay's family was in town from Idaho for the blessing. This is at Bob's Farm in Snohomish where we went to a crappy pumpkin patch that had very few green pumpkins left, so we got two green pumpkins, painted them white and carved them like ghosts.

Our new house in Puyallup

New Beginnings

2007-12-04T15:37:00.000-08:00

In August we sold our townhouse in Kirkland and bought a bigger and better house in Puyallup. Cory decided he wanted to go to school to be a firefighter and the school is in Tacoma so this was the obvious solution. Cory just became certified as an EMT and starts his new job at AMR on Dec 10th. 2 weeks after moving to Puyallup and picking the perfect yard for him, we lost our beloved Bentley. He was hit by a car and killed. That was the hardest thing we have ever had to go through. He was not just our dog, he was our baby. With Cory starting school, there was no way I could be alone in Puyallup with no family and no friends, so we got Dakota shortly after. She is the new light in our life. She reminds us so much of Bentley and although there is not a day that goes by that we don't think of him, she sure makes each day easier and better for us.

Cory and Lindsay

2007-06-12T17:29:00.000-07:00

Well I am doing landscaping right now and Lindsay is working for Worldmark (a timeshare company) as an administrative assistant for the business & resort development departments. Things are going good for us right now. On March 13th 2007 we went to Salt Lake and got sealed in the Temple. We are now forever! At church I am the second counsler in the elders quorum and Lindsay is an advisor in young womens. Between work and our callings we stay pretty busy.
We are selling our house in Kirkland and moving down to Tacoma or Auburn or somewhere down there were not sure yet. I have always wanted to be a fire fighter. It is very hard to get into up here. There is a technical college in South Tacoma that I am going to be going to and will hopefully help me to have a better chance at getting on somewhere. Its hard for us because all of our family is up in the Kirkland area but its the right time and it feels like the right thing to do right now. Were excited to have this blog and to have lots of family to keep in contact with.
