Just a quick hello on Brooke’s 1/2 birthday. I am seriously considering baking a cake to celebrate this big day…. I feel like that is what a good mom would do.

It is 70 degrees and Billy got done with school at 2 so we decided to eat lunch together outside. Pasadena Chicken Salad that is the same size as my child’s head.

with a side of baby feet. Brooke is wearing her first pair of jeans ever.

It is Friday so that means it is time to party. Our definition of partying tonight = laundry and going to a very fancy restaurant (actually it is the opposite of fancy but it will be delicious).

I’m in Ca, too. It’s so beautiful!! I’m glad I get to work outside today. I think I’m actually a little burnt, too.
Brooke is so blessed to have the best parents EVER! Happy belated birthday gorgeous!!! :)
It looks so warm where you are! Have fun celebrating Brooke!
So freaking cute.
We do 1/2 birthdays here in my house.
1/2 birthdays rock!
I never thought I’d say this but I wish I lived in CA!

It is beautiful today! I’ve been staring out the window all morning long. Glad you got to enjoy it as a family :)
I think a cake is ALWAYS a good idea!
I need a full pic of Miss. Brooke in those jeans. Too cute.
I’ve decided we’re supposed to be BFF’s for the following reasons:
- I’m in love with my Brooks Pure shoes ( recall me emailing you about them a few weeks back?)
- I just purchased the hot pink Brooks arm warmers that I saw on here and I’m pumped about.
- I went on my first trail run today and LOVED IT!! And then proceeded to sign up for a 4 part trail race series. Holla!
- And my favorite thing in the whole universe is Yogurtland, which I’ll be eating 5 lbs. of tomorrow.
Baby jeans, seriously? Oh my gosh! So cute. Enjoy Brooke’s birthday celebration :D
My SIL actually made half a cake once for my nephew – it was cute and I am sure my Bro and SIL enjoyed it for a few days!
You should totally make her a cake, it celebrates her 1/2 birthday and gives you an excuse to eat cake…win win
Brooke is so adorable! Does she like older men? I have a super cute 10 month old??

Congrats to your winners! Giant salads are the best meals. (Hmm, now I want a salad for dinner…) And there’s nothing wrong with doing laundry on a Friday night; I think that’s what I’m going to be doing. :) Have a great day and enjoy the rest of Brooke’s 1/2 B-day!
Brooke is rocking them jeans :-) I am way jealous of the winners… but took advantage of the savings deal you suggested! Thank you!
Happy 6 months Brooke! She just gets cuter and cuter! I think baby jeans are the cutest things ever. And I think you should DEFINITELY have some cake… :)
Those jeans!! Brooke is too adorable.
Brooke is so adorable her smile and sparkling blue eyes are contagious. Just finished a run in -20 weather listening to Jillian michaels podcast on my new earbuds best earphones ever. Love big bowl salads.
Make a cake pleaseeeee!!!! That’s so cute! I hope you got your party on today! Half birthdays are nothing to joke about. I take my holidays seriously.

I can’t wait until it is 70 degrees here again. Maybe in a few months…
Gosh, I am so excited about winning the socks!! Happy half-birthday Brooke!
Love Brooke’s jeans! My daughter lives in her “skinny” jeans. I love that I can put them on her with anything, so we own multiple pairs.
That’s such a great idea celebrating a half birthday.. A milestone for your baby. Love the baby jeans..
That first pic of Brooke shows how long and gorgeous her eye lashes are!
Oh and I’m DYING to pinch her chubby cheeks! Happy half birthday Brooke
Wasn’t it spectacular in California today!? I’m in San Francisco and it was so so beautiful.
You guys are the sweetest little family!
Any excuse to have cake is a good one. 1/2 birthday? Perfect reason!
And today my name is Ashley Lindsay Katie. :-)
Every time I see Brooke I think “she is the cutest baby!” really though! Its fun that your birthday and her 1/2 birthday are nearly the same! Happy 6 months birthday, you should definitely make a cake!
I can’t believe she’s 6months! Time flies when I’m stalking your blog lol happy half bday :)
Baby jeans are so cute…and baby shoes!!
Congrats to the sock winners! :)
I LOVE chubby baby feet and little toes. Gabe used to have these little Birkenstock-looking sandals (we probably got them at Target) that looked so adorable on him with his big ‘ol feet.
70 degrees = awesome! Tomorrow I’ll be in Phoenix for soccer and it’s supposed to be 74! I can’t wait!
Brooke is so adorable!
I wish it was that warm in Utah.
Always half a cake on the half birthday. Always.
Tried my hand at stroller running today. Don’t know how you do it.
When my babies turned 1/2 year, I made them Half a cake! (I of course froze the other half) I decorated it and didn’t put in a candle – that’s for “Real birthdays”. And Them my husband and I ate the whole thing! Best 1/2 birthday ever :-)
Mmm that salad looks delicious!
Baby jeans!! I love baby clothes so much!
You and Brooke have BEAUTIFUL hair. I just had to let you know!
Wow! Thank you so much!
I cannot believe she is 6 months yet! Thank you for sharing these little moments with us.
