Victoria's First Composition

Tori got a nasty painful ear infection and missed out on her class field trip to the Arboretum. She was pretty bummed but asked for a Priesthood Blessing from her Daddy and then later made up this song, I thought it was too good to not post. She's actually pretty talented, starting to rhyme and get a nice tune. She's getting pretty big, huh. This was all her, no help from us, she wrote down the words and here it is:

Can you guess the feet?

We had a nail polish party yesterday, loads of fun... can you guess whose feet are whose? Note: There are no duplicates :)

More Pics

A few weeks ago we went to an Open House for a Veterinary Clinic in Frisco, TX, just randomly saw a BBQ while we were driving and Brad was set on going uninvited. However,we had a great time, they had free face painting. This lady was AMAZING! I've never seen a better face painter! The girls had a great time, and a nice nap afterwards. Anyway, here's some updated pics of the kids, I can't believe how big they are getting! Abbie is starting Kindergarten in August. So crazy.

Magic Time Machine

We had a great evening together as a family at "Magic Time Machine". It is a themed restaurant, lots of fun characters, our waiter was Joe Dirt, and there was a bunch of Disney Princesses and pirates, etc. Food was decent, not as many choices as I would have liked, and the pricing was pretty ridiculous but thanks to Restaurant.com we got a $25 gift card for only $7.50 so that saved us a bunch, we ended up spending $28.00 total plus $10.00 for this great family photo. I think we'll send it out for our Christmas Cards, what do you think? Napolean Dynamite was our photographer, he was hilarious, after dinner he brought our pictures and told me the second one turned out especially nice, we couldn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes straight, tell me what you think :)

Crazy Hair Day

I totally forgot to post this, so sorry, life has been crazy. But for Crazy Hair Day at school I decided to go all out and Brad came up with this idea, so two hours later, she definitely unofficially won the Crazy Hair Award, I came to lunch and pretty much everyone stared at her and said things like "Oh, hers is definitely the craziest". Pipe Cleaners have so many purposes!!! The pictures really don't do it justice, but it looked really really cool.

Easter Time at the Brockbanks

Well this year we decided to step it up a little and actually do our parental duty and let the Easter Bunny come to our home this year instead of Grandma (formerly known as the Easter Bunny). So Easter morning came and we woke up a little later than hoped, the girls were in the tub, we had planned beforehand of course, and went to the store the night before at around 9:00 PM to find their last two baskets and candy, can you believe they still weren't on clearance!? Anyway, so I told Brad to go hide the baskets as Brad's family tradition would suggest. He hid one upstairs under the sink in our guest bathroom and one in the dryer. He went upstairs to inform the girls of their exciting surprise and task of finding it, and it went something like this...

Brad-"Hey Girls, its Easter Morning, do you know what that means?"

Girls-"No, its Easter?"

Brad-"Yeah, and the Easter Bunny came!!!"

Girls-"Really? Why?"

Brad-"To bring you something"

Girls-"Did he hide eggs?"

Brad-"No, he brought you a basket."

Girls-"Why?"

Brad-"Because its Easter!"

Girls-"Hmm, where is it?"

Brad-"I think he hid the baskets, you'd better go look for them!"

Girls-"Where?"

Brad-"Just go look!"

So the girls finally got the hang of it as we gave them some obvious hints and found their baskets and now they fight over who ate whose candy. Obviously we have slacked in the Easter Department previously, well, at least they aren't teenagers, now is better than later, right?
