42 weeks (only 10 more)!!!!!


I cant believe my little man will be one in less than 10 weeks!!!!!!!!

The 1st week of November he started crawling & he hasnt slowed down since. He is the cutest, fastest & loudest crawler ever. He seriously sounds like an elephant when he crawls & when he gets to his destination he is out of breath it is so funny. I'm surprised he hasnt broken out into a sweat.


His favorite thing to do is follow his sister every where he even follows her to the bathroom which she isnt a fan of. She politely yells at him "I need privacy" it priceless!!!! I have a feeling he will be walking in no time just after a week of crawling he discovered how to pull himself up to anything & everything the couch, the TV stand the kitchen chairs the computer chairs & his favorite the stairs the other day I couldnt see him anywhere & he was up the 5th stair. Boys are sure different then girls lets recap Ella started crawling at 11 months & walking at 13 months. Bobby started crawling at 8 months.

I told Johnny the other day that when Bobby starts walking we should push him down to prolong the process he thought that was the worst thing I could possibly say. I got the idea from my co-worker who did that to her daughter cause she didnt want her to start walking yet. Ok so I wont push him over but I just really want him to stay my baby for a little longer if possible.

We took the kids swimming today & yes at almost 9 months it was Bobby's 1st time swimming unless you count Riley park. He loved it I knew he would because he loves baths so much but I didnt realize how much he would love swimming. He splashed & screamed with delight the whole time!!!

One last note I want to document is that my kids are officially in the same size of clothes for 50% of the time. Ella's shirts are all 2T & Bobby's shirts are all 2T. Bobby is 20lbs & Ella is 28lbs. It wont be long before Bobby is bigger & taller than her!!!!!!!

Brown is the new Black

Brockhurst family sneak a peek:













We went to confed park a couple weeks ago. Here are some of my favorite pictures they all turned out pretty good considering we didnt have anyone take the pictures just good old tri-pod. I thought for sure Ella & Bobby wouldnt be looking at the camera for any of the pictures. Heres hoping to nicer weather next year so we can get tons of pictures with the fall leaves & not freeze to death!!!!!!

Part 3 "Trick or Cheek"

I Love that I have a husband that loves to decorate the house for Halloween!!!!!! Even thought we have the best decorated house on the block we still only have 16 kids!!!!!!!
We had a fun filled busy Halloween. It is so fun celebrating holidays now that Ella knows whats going on. I cant wait for next year when Bobby will be walking & going trick or treating with his big sister!!!!!!
Bobby & I stayed in & handed out candy. Poor little guy he was really tired & not feeling the best he had 2 more teeth come in for a total of 6 teeth. He cried every time I opened the door to hand out candy. Ella & Johnny had a blast we had a Chinook so the weather was awesome. They were gone almost 2 hours. She loved walking up to the doors & yelling "Trick or Cheek"!!!! HA HA HA Next year we definitely will be dressing her in a more girly costume all day at the mall & all night people kept saying "here you go bud" or "what a cute little guy". I knew I should of sewed on a bow!!!!!!

Halloween part 2

Johnny took Ella to the zoo Halloween morning!!!
Ella had tons of fun until she had a horrible gorilla experience. I hope she's not scarred for life!!!!

In the afternoon we headed to the mall. We lucked out with the face paint line up. I loved Ella's face but it was is impossible to get her to not touch & itch her whole face. The makeup was every where & was a nightmare at home.

dress up







We still havent decided what Ella is going to be for Halloween. She loves dressing up & she will be happy dressing up as anything!!!!!!
Bobby fell asleep the other day during lunch it was hilarious. I kept trying to wake him up to finish his lunch but he just wanted to sleep. I finally gave up, washed him & took him upstairs. Of course he woke up & decided that he no longer wanted a nap!!!!
