I can hardly believe it!

How can Brooke be turning 8?  It seems like just yesterday I was walking around the yard (while Ciera and Chloe played) trying to keep my little baby Brooke from crying.  She was such a screamer!  For her birthday this year, Brooke wanted to get her ears pierced.  Since her birthday is on a Monday, we had to take her on Saturday to get it done (so she could wear her earrings to school on her birthday).  She was super escited before we got to Claire's.

After we got there, and it became real, she got really scared.  She cried and almost bolted out the door.  After a lot of tears and about 20 minutes, she said a prayer for bravery, and prepared herself... and did it!  She was so happy to have it done!

And she looks so cute with her birthstone studs!
