Go, Aunt Rosa!!!

Aunt Rosa is currently training for the MS150. This past weekend she rode in a race supporting the American Diabetic Assocation in honor of our mom...Brooke's Nana. We are very proud of her and can't wait to see her cross the finish line!!!! Go get 'em, Aunt Rosa!

Ft. Worth & the Kimballs!

This past week Aunt Rosa, Mommy & Brooke went crazy!!! We flew to Dallas Tuesday morning and flew home Wednesday evening. We went to visit some good friends - John & Linda Kimball & Scott, Jacinda & Isaiah Kimball. It was a blast seeing them again and visiting some cool places in Ft. Worth.
Mommy & Brooke trying out cowgirl hats - they stayed in Ft. Worth!!!
Riding a longhorn...we were glad it didn't decide to "use the facilities!!!"
John, Linda & their grandson - Isaiah!
All our crazy travels wore poor Brooke out!!!

Swimming

Well, since these were requested by Nana - here are some pics of Brooke's first swimming excursions! She loves the water and moves constantly while in it...which isn't surprising since she moves constantly out of the water! :-)
We were surprised and happy to have visitors at the pool Thursday night...we got to spend a short time with good friends Karen & Gerald Gleason and since I know she'll see this...it was good to see you guys again!

Calton's & Catfish!!!

Last night we went out to some friends from church (Steve & Tonya Calton) house. They just built a large pond/lake a few years back and we were suppose to catch "a couple" catfish to take home. Well, needless to say we ended up catching 8! The largest one was 7.9lbs...and it was Mommy that landed it!

Brooke also had a great time playing with Tonya...she even got to splash her legs in the pond and LOVED it! We've got a swimmer on our hands!!!! Notice how wet Tonya was?!?!?! :-)

Pops & Nana

Well, it had been 2 months since we last made the trek to Indy. This past weekend Brooke & I (by ourselves!!!) flew out to visit Pops & Nana! We had a great time changing diapers, running around, feeding a baby...kinda sounds like my life here! :-) Seriously, it was fun watching Brooke interact with her grandparents. She's got them both wrapped around her little finger already!
Although, Anna, their dog, wasn't too excited Brooke came to visit again.
Brooke has started army crawling pretty good now...she loves the freedom to move around...much to our dismay! :-)

6 months today!

Well, it doesn't seem possible but today our little girl turned 6 months old! How the time is flying past us!!!! She is at such a fun stage right now. She can sit up on her own and really interact but is still pretty immobile.
Every time I hold Brooke in my arms I am reminded of the awesome grace of our Lord. We are thankful everyday that He entrusted us to raise His child!

TEETH!

Well, it's been a long couple of weeks (hence the reason for not posting in a while!) But Brooke now has 2 bottom teeth and is working on the 2 top teeth! If you look close you can see them in this picture!
I know is this alot like the first picture in the post but who can resist loving this cute face! That purple in the background is Nana's pillow that Brooke now loves! Nana left it here after her last visit and Brooke laid claim to it by slobbering all over it. She love to grab it and rub her face all over it! :-)

This pic was taken on Mother's Day when we stopped in to visit Joel's folks.
