We had a fun Mother's Day yesterday. We went and visited Grandpa Jesse and Grandma Mary and then Grandpa Tony and Grandma LaVerne.

We got a cute picture of Katelynn with Grandma Mary, she was barking like Ginger, the doggie (she loves dogs and cats).

At Grandpa Tony and Grandma LaVerne's house we had Root Beer floats, Katie had fun playing with her cousins and Tamara got to play a game of Cranium with several of the family (she loves games!)

Fun with cousins

We had Nikki and Garrett over today. Katie just loves to have lots of cousins to play with!

Diaper fun

They learn so young! Katie loves to diaper her dolls and bears. When I ask her to lay down on her changing mat she'll often put a doll or bear down instead.

Tike on her trike

Katie just loves to ride her tricycle. It's so nice to be able to get outside!

Brooke's songs on our playlist

Yay! I found some of Brooke's songs that she sung on American Idol on playlists.com and added them to our playlist. Have a listen.

Brooke White

I am so sad Brooke got voted off American Idol. She was definitely my favorite and the whole reason I watched the show. She got a phone call from Carly Simon the next morning which boosted her spirits - cool huh. I know I could never handle the pressure of being on a show like that.

Brooke has an album out from 2006 called "Songs from the Attic" - it was just re-released on the website: brookwhite.com - selling for $14.99. She sounds great! You can listen to excerpts from the CD on that site and also see her music video for the song "Free". (She co-wrote the CD). I added her banner and preview for the CD to our blog - see below by the playlist. You can click on the banner to get directly to the website or listen to the songs from her CD by hitting play on the preview (remember to pause our playlist).

Here is what it says on the website about the CD:
"Brooke White, the nanny that won our hearts on American Idol and gave all of herself to us every week can now be heard on a full length album released by New Millennium Records Group (NMRG)."Songs From the Attic" is Brooke's debut album from 2006 and it's sure to become an instant classic. This 11 song CD captures the essence of all that is pure and honest about songwriting which is a direct reflection of who Brooke White is as a person. Bonus tracks include cover versions on "Dream On" by Aerosmith and "Yellow" by Coldplay."

I can't wait to get her CD! Hope she does lots more CDs. Check out the website or listen to the songs on our blog.
