Nutcracker......

Yesterday Mom and I and the girls went to Laughlin to watch the Nutcracker Ballet. I was a little worried that my little 2 year old wouldn't have enough patients to sit through it. But I was wrong! She sat and watched the whole performance only getting antsy the last 5 minutes. Which I blame on the hot cocoa. She was really amazed by it. I think her favorite part was the snow and when the girls came on stage and through candy out. We all had a really good time.

The Girls...........

Happy Birthday Brooklyn............2!!!!

Happy Autumn....

Madison 15 weeks

Brooklyn 23 months

A few pictures of the girls. Brooklyn is growing and learning so fast. She knows and can say most of her colors. Knows basic shapes and some letters and numbers. She is a little sponge. Picks everything up so fast. Madison has began rolling over and over. She tries to sit up but hasn't gotten it yet. Seem a little soon anyways. Seems like she is rolling over sooner than Brooklyn did. Both girls go to Grandma Dolly's during the day when I'm working and they love it. Justin has gotten a full time position as an EMT. Starting November first he'll be working 48 hour shifts then have four days off. Its going to be an adjustment for us but we'll manage with every ones help. Thankfully I have Mom so close and she'll be able to come over at 3:30am when I have to leave for work.

A few of the pictures are of the girls in their Halloween outfits. We went to a Halloween party on Saturday so they got to wear them early. It was actually to hot for Madison to wear hers but I wanted to see it on. :) She was a lady bug. Been back to work for five weeks now. Finally adjusting to twelve hour days again. Just getting into the swing of things and I start vacation next week. Yea!!! Looking forward to being home, no plans for vacation. Love you all and wishing good things to happen to everyone.

P.S.

Brooklyn looks just like Hailey in the picture of her smiling. No denying all the nieces and Nephews being related!

The girls...

Brooklyn and her little sister Ma'maa!

Madison Grace...

Another Beautiful Baby Girl! Madison Grace came into our lives on July 8,09. At 6:26 pm via c-section. She weighed six pounds 7 ounces. (Exactly a pound less than her sister.) She was 19.25inches. We have all adapted well so far. Brooklyn is a very good big sister. Madison sleeps all the time. I have a feeling that will change soon though. I am still pretty sore. Justin is helping a ton and letting me rest. We couldn't be any happier right now. Love to all. Can't wait to meet the next baby Lutz! Soon Nathan and Amanda? Joe and Jessica? We'll post new pictures as we get them.

Ducks...........

Brooklyn loves ducks! She didn't know they were swimming up behind her and when I told her this is the expression I got! So funny! And I do have a bathing suit for her but I grabbed the wrong one when we left the house, hence just the water diaper. It was a great morning with her at the lake. We loved it. Going to try and take her as much as possible before the baby comes.
