What do you want to be?

Holly: "Brooke, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Brooke: "A SPARKLY ballerina!"

Videos from Disney World

DANCING WITH THE BAND: This one might be my favorite of the bunch because of the very end. Even if skip some of the middle, watch the end! I think Brooke knows everyone was there to see her, not the band!

LIGHT PARADE: Nothing special here. Just a cool Disney light parade.


CONGA LINE WITH TIGGER AND POOH: Loved this one! The look on her face was priceless!

DISNEY PARADE: Another Disney parade.


DANCING IN THE STREETS: At this parade, they let you come out and dance in the streets with them. Brooke is always up for that!

BROOKE "HOOP-A-LOOPING" (as she calls it):

Disney World!

We just spent a week in Orlando and went to Disney World and Sea World. Words can't explain how excited Brooke was to see Mickey, the princesses, and the rest of the gang. We had breakfast with the princesses, lunch with Tigger and Pooh, and lunch with the Little Einsteins, JoJo, and Goliath. I've broken down our pictures by the days we were there and will make a new post once the videos are ready.

Trike-athon 2009!

Brooke's school had a "trike-athon" to raise money for Circle of Friends. We decked out the tricycle in her favorite color: pink. We had feather boas, streamers, balloons, her princess microphone, and a sweet license plate with her name on it. Before she got started, she told me "Daddy, we're going to race!" I tried to explain that it wasn't a race, but she wasn't convinced. I fear my insurance rates in the future! Before it was all said and done, I think she hit 3 people, almost rammed the wall, and passed everyone... nobody passed her!

Pumpkin coloring

Brooke learned how to create a custom pumpkin design on playhouse Disney's website, print the pumpkin on a background, color it, and then hang it on our refrigerator with magnets. Oh my! She enjoyed this a little too much! At last check, I think we have about 15 on the frig now! At first, she was very careful to stay in the lines and use multiple crayon colors. By the time she was done however, it had turned into a frenzied speed-coloring dash! She just couldn't wait to get to her next creation!

Giraffes Aren't Dangerous

Holly: "Brooke, what would you like for lunch?"
Brooke: "A giraffe!"
Todd: "Um, that might not be legal."
Holly: "Yeah, giraffes might be endangered."
Brooke: "No, mommy. Giraffes aren't dangerous!"

Brooke turns 3!!!
