Brooke was initially very excited about carving pumpkins.

Then she saw the goo and decided it wasn't really for her.

Bryan did a good job on his own, though.

Today as I was reading through my Washington State Voter's Pamphlet, Brooke pointed at the state seal (which is of Washington's head) and declared, "Mr. Noodle!"
For those of you that don't get this reference, start watching Elmo on Sesame Street.
It was another beautiful day for the 4-6 CAV Uncasing Ceremony.

In typical fashion, Brooke danced through the playing of the Army song and snacked most the rest of the time. She really enjoyed seeing the helicopters up close afterwards.

Brooke had a great second birthday. We had three families over for pizza, cake, and a bit of play time. Luckily, we just had a new chair delivered and still had a huge box in our hallway. It was the favored play place for all the kids.


The birthday girl enjoyed cake and presents. So much so, that she was asking us, "More presents?" for the next two days.

The proposed Elmo cake turned into a pink blob with helicopters on top. Thankfully, Brooke's dad is a pilot and she loves helicopters.

We had one small mishap during the night; Gigi ended up with a bloody nose. But, we threw some bling on her and gave her cake and she was a happy girl again.


Brookie the present
Brooke and I spent Columbus Day weekend in Salem with the Smiths while Bryan was at home working. The ship with their stuff from Iraq arrived at the Port of Tacoma on Thursday, which meant Bryan would be up there for the unloading most of the weekend. Brooke and I were happy to have an excuse to get down to see the cousins (and Pam and Mac) again.
