Ok so we promised that we would tell some stories about events this summer. I want to start with Brooklyn's first birthday. I cannot believe my baby girl is 1!!! We had an awesome party. We had it at a park by our house. Other than it being like hot as heck it was perfect. I have never seen so many people turn out for a birthday party. There was at least 75 people there. we has yummy food from Rib City and cake from Das Myer's (the same place that we got our wedding cake). we had a really good time. It was so nice to spend this day with our close family and friends. We wish we could have had all of our family there, but we know that you all would have been there if you could have been, Don't worry Brooklyn ate cake for all of you. We want to thank everyone for all the presents (We can hardly walk in her room). Speaking of that, who ever gave her the talking/singing dog I'm going to get your kid a drum set :). It was a great day, I wish all of you could have been there. That's it for now, but I will make sure we blog again soon. Love you guys!!!

ps. Candace, Krista wanted to edit this post and thank you for the present.
