Gish

Or that's how Aubree says it!


















I've thought these were cute for awhile. Why not post them for all the world to see?

Peek-a-boo!

"Hello" from Brooke & Aubree!

Homesick

Bleh... I'm really homesick since my Dad left. It was a good visit. He's always good company. I hate living so far away-- from everybody!

P.S. There are lots more new pictures on my myspace: www.myspace.com/brookecrismond

Spumoni Cupcakes

I can't take credit for this idea. I got it from www.howtoeatacupcake.net It's a really cool site, check it out if you have time. I didn't bake the cupcakes from her recipe. I dressed up box mix. My Dad and Derek both love Spumoni (chocolate, cherry & pistachio) ice cream. I thought it was cool I could turn it into a cupcake!




The finished product. I thought it was cool to chill the frosting and then scoop it with an ice cream scoop to get a different effect than you usually see.




After baking. The batter is thick, so you can spoon it into the cups and it won't spread out before you put the other flavor in.
















The cupcakes were easy, the frosting was time consuming. I did follow the recipe on the site for that. My suggestion if you try it is to definitely find some shelled, non-salted pistachios.

Dreaming....

I really like a lot of his stuff, but I'm in love with this set. I have the wedding band. Now, if only I can get the matching engagement ring! Out of order, I know, but better late than never!

It's Been Awhile

Gosh. Time slips away from you doesn't it? I've been busy and keep getting busier! My Dad's coming Thurdsay and like I've mentioned before, Derek's birthday is Sunday (hello Summer!) and Father's Day too! Needless to say, I've got a lot to do in the next few days. I thought I would take a minute to post a few new pics of Aubree.



Look at all those teeth! She has 2 new jaw teeth as well!



Good morning, where's my tutu?























This is her "smile". It's pretty far from a smile, but it cracks me up every time she does it!

Sassiness

This is my new favorite picture of Aubree. That's not her lips. She's sticking out her tongue. That's as far out as it comes! Enjoy :)

I have expensive taste

I love this bedding! I was shopping for bedding for our guest room and saw this at Ross. They only had 1 full size. We needed king :( I looked for it at Bed, Bath & Beyond and couldn't find it. I didn't figure I would since it was at Ross. I assumed it was an old print or d/c. Well, we went to a different BB&B and found it! The same comforter that was $50 at Ross was $229 at BB&B! The King? Well, it was $299. That doesn't include sheets either. Just bedskirt, comforter and 2 shams. Just how much money are they making?

Brown thumb

I planted some carrots. Here was my harvest.

A startling statistic

I read in my Infants and Children textbook that babies born weighing more than 8.8lbs at birth were more likely to get breast cancer when they grow up. Craziness.
