The BEST weekend !

Reasons why my weekend was so wonderful:

Reason #1 - Some little cutie turned 10 months old today! Yep, our little cutie is just getting older and smarter and definitely cuter every month. I can't believe that it's already been 10 months since Brooklyn was born! What did we do without her?!? What joy and happiness she brings to our life :)
Her new favorite way to play in her jumper (holding on to the moldings) :)
Since Brooklyn's little feet are starting to poke out of her baby car seat we decided we needed to get her an upgrade. Lucky for us, we still had money left over on a Babies'R'Us gift card to purchase this lovely new car seat for our growing babe. I think she likes it! Now mommy and daddy are going to have to fanagle a way to actually get her in it while it's rear facing in the Mustang! - hey at least it actually fits in that car :)

Reason #2 - We are making our second big furniture purchase:

Here it is. We decided we were going to use some tax money to buy ourselves some living room furniture. We (maybe just me) have been looking everywhere trying to find some leather furniture that we like. We went to Art Van yesterday and finally found it! It was also a really good deal - plus they were offering an additional 10% off. We were not sure about what to do and wanted to talk about it some more before we made any decision. So we put a refundable deposit on it to lock in the sale price while we thought about it. But I think we've thought about and I think we're going to get it. Now we can go back this week and pay for the rest of it and get it for the sale price! The only other major piece of furniture we have ever bought is this: Now we'll also have these - hopefully these will last us for the next twenty years :)



Reason #3 - I'm going on a girl's trip to CHICAGO!

I was invited to go to Chicago awhile ago with some girls in my ward for Desert Book's Timeout For Women. Since I'm still nursing Brooklyn I ended up saying no. But since they're not going until the first week of March it wasn't too late for me to change my mind and I decided this weekend that I'm going! Brooklyn really doesn't nurse all that much anymore and I didn't want to miss out on this awesome opportunity! I'm so excited - we're going to have a blast!!!

Sounds like such a great weekend! Congratulations on the furniture! I swear it looks almost identical to ours that we bought 4 years ago! We LOVE them! And they still look great. You're gonna love it when something gets spilled on them and you can just wipe it right up! I would make sure your scissors are way high up...that is my worst fear with it when we have kids.

We are buying living room furniture with our tax return, too! (In preparation for Matt's graduation and the eventual move). It's so fun to finally feel like a grown up with nice things, isn't it???!!!

Wow, 10 months!! Before you know, she's going to be running around like crazy and you won't be able to wait until she's old enough to go to nursery! Oooooh, a girl's vacation, sounds like a blast. Someday if I ever get over to the East coast we'll have to get together!

Yeeaaa for all that exciting stuff!! (especially that we are coming to visit!!) You're right Brooklyn just keeps getting cuter and cuter! I can't wait to see you guys. Kate and Brooklyn are going to have so much fun playing together! And of course I already know we always have fun together!!
