Disney on Ice!

We took Brooklyn to Disney on Ice last weekend. It was so much fun! We drove downtown and parked under the Church Office Building. We rode the "Train" to the Energy Solutions Arena. Brooklyn had fun on the train. It was so new to her, she just kept smiling. We got to the arena and she got to pick a toy from Aunt Lo, as princessy as she is, she got a wand. We bought her a crown, and then her and Addison both a Minnie Mouse. She was so excited for it to start, when it finally did she was all smiles. The look on her face was priceless!

The Monster Bash!!!

We had alot of fun at our Evans Halloween party. We had dinner and then planned a few games for the kids. Everyone brought a little treat for them, so it looks like they don't need to go trick or treating anymore! :) It was fun to see all their costumes, and kudos to princess Snow White for making all the kids so excited! It was a spooky spectacular!

Pumpkin Patch

This is our little trip to the pumpkin patch this year! Brooklyn would have taken every pumpkin if she could! We had a great time!

The State Fair...

We went to the State Fair again this year with my sisters and nephew Parker. Addison slept the whole time, and Brooklyn and Parker liked all the "pee-you" animals and the farm. We of course got all the favorite State Fair snacks, how can you pass those up! Although after we felt kind of BLAH! It was fun though! It's a tradition I will keep up! Especially for the Dippin Dots. .....I sure wish they sold those in the store.....! Anyway, here are some pictures we took. Don't we look fabulous in the pear tree? (well If i peeked my head in a little more you could actually see it's me...)

Catch up on pictures.......

It's been awhile since I have put pictures on my computer from my camera, so I thought I would blog about some things that have happened the last few weeks.

My nephew Seth had a baseball game which Andy and Brooklyn went to. I didn't go, but it looks like he did a great job! I love the ones with his tongue sticking out. Oh, it was funny too, that same day Brooklyn and Andy matched....it was cute!

The last two weekends we have laid more sod in the backyard. Nothing too big, but enough for Brookie to play until we do it next year. While we were laying the sod, Brookie had the SMARTEST idea and got into her pool with her clothes on. It was a hot day! The next day she wanted to go and step on the grass with her feeties. She said to us....."I sure do like this grass"! That makes the hard work worth it!

Addison is starting to smile. It is so adorable. Of course we don't have the camera when she is doing the big grins, but we will be sure to post some when we get them. Here is what we have so far! There is also a picture of her in a hat that Grandma Becky made for her.

One more thing....we are trying to potty train Brooklyn. This is what I have been able to do so far. As long as she has a movie, snack, drink, and books she will sit on the potty. She actually has gone a few times, but still not quite there. Any suggestions?!? She seems to be ready, but still needs a little help.

Take me out to the ballgame...

Last night we went to a Bees game and also stayed for fireworks afterwards. Brooklyn stayed awake for most of the fireworks, but was tired and ended up falling asleep. She loved the Bees mascot (Bumble), and liked dancing to the music. It was hot, but we had fun! Andy picked some great seats! Thanks to Andy's family for going with us too, we had a great time!!! :)

Daddy's taking us to the zoo....

Andy was able to take this week off of work, so we thought it would be fun to take the girls to the zoo yesterday. Brooklyn had a great time. We took her before she turned 1, so she doesn't quite remember that. We bought her some binoculars and she had fun playing with those and looking for the animals. Addison of course won't remember this, but she was a great baby and slept most of the time. It was also Andy's birthday so we celebrated that as well. He gets to drag it out this year and have two more get togethers with family. Brooklyn made him wear his "birthday hat" (it's a toy ball that you take apart and stack, and for some reason she started calling them birthday hats, so cute!) Me and our girlies took him out to dinner, then came home and gave him his presents and donuts. Brooklyn wanted to blow out the candle too, so we did it again for her! It was a fun day! Hope you had a great birthday Andy! We love you!

Backyard Adventures...

Last Saturday we spent a few hours at Backyard Adventures for Hayley's birthday (my niece)! She turned 4, and I am sure she just loved this birthday! The kids had alot of fun, including the "BIG" kids...(wink wink Andy). We all wished we could take one of those playgrounds home with us. We had a great time! Happy Birthday Hayley! :)
