did you know?

that chuck is old enough to drink from a juice box??

Guess what my chicken did today??

Yeah, she tried to walk. She took 2 steps with me and nick in the room, and then about 3 more when nick was putting jammies on her. I guess it's the second child thing, but I am so sad about it. I just don't want her to get any bigger. I almost cry when I think about her 1st birthday coming up. Poor mommy.

And then there is the big boy Oliver. He's going to be 4 in April. 4, people! I can't believe that either. He is so sweet. But onry. But sooo sweet. He loves to 'snuggle-buggle' mommy and still sucks his thumb. Still a baby in so many ways. He has got to be one of the funniest kids I've ever met. The things that come out of his mouth shock and surprise me. He's really into telling jokes lately (eye-roll from mommy) and he just thinks he's the funniest thing he's ever heard. I have to laugh at him, because he's so serious about them!! I just love my boy, they really do have a different relationship with their mom's than girls.

just thought I'd update on the kids. Have a great week!

if i had twins

this would be my life....

ok, enough of hugh grant

my kids are better, the house is a little bit clean, oliver has preschool today so my life is ok. well, it was ok, until i watched nancy grace last night. why does she feel the need to ruin my life every monday and wednesday? last night, it was a mother and 9 month old baby who were shot to death in their bed. oh my god. then, it was a man who had been killed in a carjacking in san fran and his 4 year old daughter had been leaving him voicemails on his cell phone. they played the messages. it went something like 'daddy, i am sorry you died, call me back, i hope you get out of the dirt somtime.'. ok, 1. my employer- do they like me sobbing like an idiot from 6-7pm in the lobby? 2. nancy grace. does she get off on this shit? good grief. other than that, i can't really think of much else to say today. maybe i'll have more for you later. hold your breath.

Ashli and Jamie, THIS is the man I would leave anybody for.

the smile the eyes the crinkles around the eyes.

so sexy.

big stuff man. i mean, seriously

what are you looking at??

so my paci is upside down, you want to make something of it??

and the boys self portrait

can it get better i ask????

so this afternoon i was on my way home from work. i was exiting the freeway LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOUSE, and yeah, you guessed it. I rear-ended a old couple. cool huh? let me just give you a laundry list of all my accidents.

1. 16 years old, ran into the wall of a parking garage
2. 16 years old, ran into a parked car
3. 17 years old, had a tire blow out on I 25, I couldn't figure out why smoke was coming out of the back of my car
4. 17 years old, ran into another parked car
5. 18 years old, flipped my car twice and totaled it.
6. 19 years old, ran my car up onto a median and messed up the wheels
7. 20 years old, i forgot about this one until ashli reminded me, i was involved in some kind of accident on NW Expressway outside of circut city
8. 23 years old, rear-ended a woman going 40mph because the sun was in my eyes, and totalled my mini-van
9. now, 25 rear-ended another old couple.
10. don't forget about nick's run-in with a drunk driver.

and ashli, if i've forgotten 1 or 2 can you please remind me??

and while i'm at it. i've decided to 'out' ashli. no, she's not a lesbian, she's knocked up with her third love child (with her husband who she has been with since she was 15). here's a toast to her, that she is growing a penis in her belly, cause we all know that 3 girls is just way way too much.

What I woke up to

What a winter day. Nice. I hate to say it, but I'm already sick of the snow. Here has been my week thus far. Monday-Charlie has a croopy sounding cough, I should take her to the Dr. I take her and they say the famous last words...It's just a cold. Um, yeah, could I have my $50 back ?? Nick comes home with a nazi - looking haircut. Tuesday- spend the day in loveland with the in-laws. Oliver started coughing on the way up there but I thought (of course) that he was faking it b/c Charlie was coughing. I call my personal pharmacy of Ashli and ask what to give Charlie for that awful cough. Go to walmart and get it. a peaceful night's rest. Wednesday- get a call that indeed Oliver was up all night coughing. I pass on my newly acquired medicine knowledge (so I look like I know what I'm doing) and go on with my day. Go to work, come home , go to bed. Thursday- MIL comes home with Oliver around 1130. He wasn't looking all that great, but he said he wanted to go to school, and it was the day of the secret sound N. So, off to school we go. I briefed the teachers as to the cold and told them not to hesitate to call if he seems sick. 330pm. Pick Oliver up....This child was ASLEEP. We're talking about my son who has not had a nap since his sister was born. They said he went over to the beanbag pillow and just conked out about 20 minutes before I got there. I felt him and he was burning up. Oh yeah, 104.5 baby. awesome. rush him to the dr office where they rule out rsv and the flu (even though he had the shot), and tell me, um yeah, it's a virus. call on Sunday if he is still running a fever. I come home, put the kids to bed, and drink 2 big glasses of white wine. Perfect ending to a not so perfect day. Are you all reeling with jealousy yet??

Life in the burbs

The first thing you have to know about life in the Burbs is that you can expect to be a full 10 years younger than anyone of the other mothers in your child's preschool class (exception being Mel) Second thing....It's all the same. The houses are all off white or light yellow. You'll find all the same stores at each major intersection. Third thing...The above mentioned mothers all had a 'career' before their birthing plans. They make comments like, oh I miss working, when I had my career...so on and so forth. Fourth thing...It's eerily quiet here. I can go outside and not hear anything for like 20 minutes. Never was like that in Mesta Park. Fifth thing... Well, that's all I can think of at the moment. It's weird. I like it in a weird way. I hate it in a normal way.

a chicken and her daddy

this is what i walked into monday night at 11pm. sweetness

if you think she might be cussing you out in her mind, you are probably right. and if there was an award for a child saying, WHAT'S UP man, without actually speaking it, she would be winning that one. but, if this is not the cutest, most sweetest face you've ever seen, I'm going to kick your ass.

back in the saddle again

a father and son doing what a father and son should do together...playing PS2..... and in the words of pink....bring on the presents biatches!! they taste really really good!!

I don't want my baby

What follows will be a public service blog. If you had the privilege of talking to me tonight I was really upset. Why now Brooke you might ask?? A 15 year old in New Jersey threw her less than 1 hour old baby in the trash. yes, you heard right, the trashcan. on a street. outside a deli. If you are visiting this site and are pregnant and don't want your baby let me give you some advice. your options are 1. give the baby up for adoption 2. take your baby to the hospital and leave it 3. take your baby to the police station and leave it. 4. take your baby to a church and leave it. *if you do the above mentioned things, you will have no legal repercussion's. No questions asked. instead of beating your baby, killing your baby or just throwing your baby away, please give it to someone who will love it and take care of it. please.please.please.

why not to blog at 11pm (after a beer)

i think it's really scary, all the blogs out there. my friend has a sister who has a blog. she is 12. her friend who is also 12 POSTED HER CELL PHONE NUMBER on the internet. OH MY GOD. does this girl not know what can happen? it really frightens me. a. that 12 year olds have cell phones b. that the 12 year olds parents do not know that she has a blog and that she is freakin givin her number out on the net. does she not know that there are freak smart people out there who could find her? it makes me wonder where we will be in 8 years when oliver is 12. it really scares me more than makes me wonder. there you are, an incoherant post after a beer at 11pm. that'll teach all 4 of you who read my blog!!!

Things I do NOT care about.

Ok, Let me first note that while I am at work I watch CNN Headline News. I love Nancy Grace (mainly because she is so freakin rude it's funny) and I have a MAJOR crush on Anderson Cooper. This is a list of things that I really don't give a shit about. 1. Whether or not Lindsay Lohan has an eating disorder or drug problem. I think it's been fairly obvious for awhile that she is freakin sick. 2. While I am sad for the family's of the miners that died, I don't think it's necessary to talk about it 24 hours a day. It's horrible that they were told that they were alive, when in fact, they were dead, but they are still dead. 3. Anything relating with Richard Simmons. Don't care. 4. That Ariel Sharone (i know i spelled that wrong, but i can't be bothered to go look it up) is possibly dying because of a stroke. I do think it's funny however, that a Palestian leader said that it was a gift from God (or whatever their equivilant is) 5. Whether or not a woman who killed her marine husband via poison will be extradited back to California. It really doesn't matter in my life. Just thought you guys might want a real blog as opposed to pictures of my kids. In case you didn't know, I'm kind of a sarcastic and rude person. Just puttin it out there!!

testing testing

much funnier

than the last song i had up here. you have to check out the numa numa guy.... you might pee your pants you'll be laughing so hard.

New Template (for the last time)

I am LOVING it. It is warm and comfy. I RULE!!! not really, it's not like i did this myself like Karen. I had a generator do it for me. Tomorrow is back to the real world of dr appts, oliver preschool, and the kids by myself all day. I've been really spoiled over the weekend. That's about it y'all.

new years day

is always kind of boring. we have cleaned and organized the kitchen, gone to the grocery store and cleaned out the garage. is my life glamorous or what!! we didn't even stay up till midnight last night, i think we fell asleep around 11.30. what a way to ring in the new year! we did have fun last night though, we had fondue (our traditional new years eve meal). it would have been more fun with ashli, chris and the girls, wish you would have been with us!! here are some pix from last night.
