A win-win for everyone!

Momma takes a break!

You moms know what it's like to need 5 minutes to yourself sometimes. Whether it's cooking supper, making lunches, folding laundry, or even just taking a shower, sometimes you have to find ways to occupy the kids for a few minutes. Cassidee's latest favorite is StarFall. She is addicted. And now that she can navigate the laptop on her own, it is my way of getting those 5 minutes I need. A big thanks to Christine for introducing us to StarFall. If you don't know what it is, check it out. Your kids will love it!

And I love the fact that she gets so excited and proud of herself when she gets something right!
Now, if I could only get Cason to be still then I'd really have 5 minutes to myself! :)

I did get another break yesterday when everyone else in the house took naps for a couple of hours. I wasn't really aware that they were all together at first, but hey, whatever works!


I love my little sleeping beauties.....and Jeremy! :)

My Birthday Girl!

Dear Cassidee,
I tried to go back and find my most favorite pictures of you from the past 3 years. I have since figured out that it is an impossible task. Each picture that I looked at reminded me of a specific time, phase, place, or event that happened with you. It's hard to narrow down pictures of you as a bald little baby, cute little toddler, or sweet big girl that you are now. I have loved spending the past 36 months with you and can't wait to see what the next 36 months + hold for you and for our family. You are the best big sister to Cason....he is so lucky to have you. Thanks for being my favorite girl. I love you sooooo much! Love, Momma

You---about an hour old

Our first picture together

The next three are easily some of my favorites of you and your daddy......
to say it was "love at first sight" is a complete understatement!

about a month old

You loved your swing!

Your first time in the pool was on our family vacation to Galveston!

9 months old and learning to pull up!

You have always been a "talker!"

Messy eater!

Running so fast in the backyard---about 14 months!

Playing fireman with daddy...you have a walkie-talkie in your hand

Washing the car with Grandaddy! Sweet hat!

The bouncy seat....you were a little too big, but it was comfy!

On the boat at Grandad's!

Your first day of summer school 2008!

In the bounce house with daddy at your 3rd birthday party!

My sweet birthday girl! I can't believe you are 3 years old!

We love you, Cassidee Brooke Broom!
