Funny Pics

Brooklyn and I went to a Halloween party with Melissa on Monday. She got these silly glasses and Brad snapped some pictures in a few classic poses.

Carving Pumpkins

I did say I was going to make up for not writing anything over the last two weeks. On Sunday night we carved pumpkins with the Irwins. Suzie's (I mean Sam's) was by far the best. Although my attempt was one of my bests. That isn't saying much though. Brooklyn got quite messy and enjoyed sticking her hand in the pumpkins. She was helping me clean mine out by putting everything in Brad's freshly cleaned pumpkin. He was super pleased. (ha ha)

Trunk or Treat

We went to our ward trunk or treat on Saturday and had a great time. Brooklyn liked the games and loved the trick or treating. On our way out to trunk or treat she just sat in the middle of the hall. She was so tired. Brooklyn didn't even realize what people were putting in her bag (although, she thought it was great anyway). After about 3/4 of the cars she saw a tootsie pop go in the bag and a light clicked on. She stopped where she was and searched frantically for it. She then practically ran to the rest of the cars, although she never let go of her lollipop until she fell asleep on the way home.

First Ponytail

Yes, I know lame, but it is a huge milestone. Brooklyn had her first ponytail last Wednesday. I took these pictures with a blog in mind and just haven't had the time. She looks so old. It was definitely a bittersweet moment. She looks so adorable and is at a very fun age, but at the same time she is no longer my baby and I miss that.

Sea World

So I am officially a slacker and here is my attempt to make up. On October 20th, we went to Sea World with some friends for a few hours. Brooklyn was a total grump, but she always loves the teacups. Brad and Ben got to the front of the line with the kiddos and there was only one teacup(paintcan) left. They decided to try and have a go at it together. Mind you, Brad and I tried it once and we didn't fit. Anyways, if you look closely at the pictures you can see that Ben's legs are inside of Brad's. It was really quite funny to watch. I think the girls were just wondering what the heck was going on.

We went to the pumpkin patch at Love Creek Farms yesterday with our friend Suzie and her two kids Sam and Audrey. Brooklyn had so much fun. It was much cooler than the corn maze and the pumpkins were more accessible to the kids. Brooklyn loves pumpkins! She kept sitting on them and trying to pick them up. She also painted a pumpkin. It was the first time she painted anything. Brooklyn did pretty good. She kept most of the paint on the pumpkin. We went on a hay ride, petted a horse, and tried to stay away from the bees. They were everywhere especially at lunchtime. I think we have visited enough pumpkin patches for the year though.

Its official, Brooklyn is finally sleeping in her own bed

most of the night and during all of her naps. It is wonderful. She is still in our bedroom, but you can't knock progress.

Hello

We have finally created a blog to share pictures, videos and stories. Saturday we went to the Corn Maize in Hondo. Brooklyn loved the barrel train, Brad and I not so much. It was sooo painful. We went to the pumpkin patch, took a hay ride, bounced on a jumping pillow, slid down huge pipes and all sorts of fun. We had a great time.
