HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!

The Pink Poodle Cake

Sam and I stayed up til 2am or 3am making this cake.

Actually, I watched and she made it!

Hazle's dress has a little poodle on it. She wore it for the special occasion.

Lucy really wanted a pinata... I have to admit, it was a really big "HIT"!

(Come on tell me you didn't see that coming.)

What a good looking family!

(except that dang wonkie eye)

Oma & Opa

Papa and Mimi

I absolutely love this picture! Everyone just got such a kick out of the wish making. This picture was actually taken in the dark, I think that might be why it is so candid.

Valentine Cookies

Thanks to Aunt Sue and Grandma Dorothy, we have the tradition of making Valentines day cookies every year before the big day. We ditched them this year, but if they are willing to have these hooligans in their newly remodled house, we'll be back next year.

Here was our setup so we could get the job done.

Beth and Kassidy joined us.

Max was a pro at frosting his hands and face.

Sam made all the cookies and frosting.

Adam and Hazel tasted and approved of the goods.

Super Drew even showed up to help!

Sweet little Ella and her purple cast.

Eating was the best part of the evening!

CONNEE AS SALLY O'MALLEY

"I like to kick, stretch, annnnnnnd kick. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm 50! Fifty years old." --Sally O'Malley This was pretty much the best birthday party ever! Good food, good company, and GREAT entertainment! (If you want even better blackmail pictures you'll have to pay me).

My Monsters

One of Max's favorite things to do is act like a monster. He and Lucy will often walk around and growl like a scary monster. I got them to do it for the camera.

Lied Children's Museum

I LOVE CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG!!!

We all went on Lucy's field trip with her. This museum is completely hands-on and a complete blast for the kids. (I had a lot of fun too!)

Here's Max and Lucy at the Bubble Factory.

Bubbles, bubbles every- where!

Bubble Rings!

Max had to try out everything that Lucy was trying. I think he was quite proud of himself.


Lucy rocking out with the green sceen. I think they were all playing soccer here.







Lucy got to try out wheelchair basketball.







Max working on the pulley chair.

Saying Hello to Emily Elizabeth.





We almost missed the Clifford Exhibit... good thing we didn't I think this was their favorite part.





Clifford is one of Lucy's favorite shows, I will often hear her barking with joy as she watches.

Yikes Were Riding A Bike!

Our friends the Nailors gave Max this bike. It has proven a blessing for both Lucy and Max. They take turns riding it to the mailbox and back to the apartment. Max used to stop and try to get on every motorcycle we saw on this trip, but now he's content with his own.

Christmas for the Bromleys

This is Lucy's Preschool Christmas Program with the Tater Tots. I was so proud. She knew all the words and sang very loud.

Josh and I embroidered the kids names on their new stockings this year.

Christmas Eve! My kids seem to always save a little food for later.

Why go all out for Christmas when a nice ball is all you need to be happy. Max has named his Bobbie (after his auntie).

Ashley will probably kill me, but Hazel looks too stinking cute to pass up posting this picture.

WE ARE SUPER FREAKS! WE'RE SUPER FREAKY!
