Florida

Brooklyn took her first flight ever this past week! We went to Tampa, Florida for my 10 year reunion (YES 10 YEARS!!! CRAZY!). We were super excited to see old friends, meet new ones, and of course look around Florida College and reminise about about all the fun times we had! Hard to believe that Brad and I met 9 years ago at this school! Lots has happened since then :)

I was soooo nervous about our little squirmy girl sitting for 2 1/2 hours on the flight. We decided to take her carseat on (maybe she would think we were in the car and she would fall asleep...ha!) and I had a bag packed full of things to keep her occupied (Grammy also hooked her up with a few items as well!).

Here we are waiting to board...

"Is this my seat ??!!"

She played with her book for about 15 minutes.......

Then FELL ASLEEP the rest of the way......woo hoo!!!
We arrived in Florida and everyone on the plane just ooed and aahed over her and told us what a good baby she was :)

Our little traveler :)
Brooklyn is NOT a light packer...HA!
One of the highlights of the trip was getting to stay with Aaron and Kristin Thompson and meet their lovely daughter Molly for the first time. Aaron went to school with Brad and I and Kristin was there a year later after I left. Molly was born two days before Brooklyn and from the beginning Kristin and I have been in non stop communication through email about EVERTYHING pertaining to our daughters! We describe each other as long lost best friends and these two precious girls brought us together :) We were so excited to meet their sweet girl and introduce Brooklyn to her new friend!

Here they are when they first met!


We switched :)

David and Jamie (she went to FC with us) Baldwin also stayed with the Thompsons and their sweet daughter Millie was just precious! I posted some videos of Millie and Brooklyn. I tried and tired to put a video up of the 3 girls together but it would never work :( I'll keep trying..they are sooo cute!


Park Day!
The second day of the reunion was park day where everyone could bring their kids!
B had fun in the swing!!
Everyone loved meeting Brooklyn for the first time....Here is our wonderful friend Allison!


What a bunch!! We enjoyed getting to see two of my BFF's from college, Kayleen and Ashley, and their adorable kids! We attempted a picture; this was the best shot we could get...HAHAHA! What a memory :)


Family picture back on the Florida College Campus....kinda neat to think that the last time Brad and I were here we were just dating...now we are a little family :)

Here are some videos from the trip.....

Molly and Brooklyn meeting :)

Millie making Brooklyn laugh....She LOVED Millie!!
(about halfway through Millie hits B on the head by accident...I was laughing sooooo hard....it didn't phase B at all HAHA!)

Cute Millie telling Brooklyn "Bless You"

We had a amazing trip! Brooklyn did better than I expected and she LOVED meeting all her new friends!
Where to next?!?
