Fun at Belas...

We went to Cabelas (or as Brook calls it Belas) this weekend. Here are some pictures of the kids. Brookie really liked all the animals.

Brook and Cale sitting on a bear chair. As you can see Cale just wants to get down and explore, but sister insisted on a pic! Yay sisters ;)

Brooklyn loves to do tricks on her swing set. She does these moves as she sings songs. (Like on Moulin Rouge as she says)

Fun at Mainstay Farm

This past Saturday our church had a "Cowboy Cookout" at Mainstay Farm (just outside of Ft. Worth). Thankfully the weather cleared up just in time, it was humid and a little cool at first, but it really turned out nice. They had everything, from a hay ride, to hay to play on, a maze, goats and donkeys to pet, a super slide, go-cart bikes, a big playground, etc... We wished Jonathan could have come, but me and the kids had a great time anyway! Here's some pics of the day.

The next several pics are from when they took us on a hay ride it was pretty neat, showing us different things on the farm and telling us there story.

The owners of the farm are funny. Here is there "Forbidden Forest"

While on the hay ride we were asked if anyone needed to stop and use the restroom... it's the 'only' one on the farm. ;)

Brooklyn said this was gross.

Hairdos--

While Cale was in the bath tonight I tried out some different hairdos on him, and as you guessed he loved it... not.

What a Day...

Had errands to run today; we went to a thrift shop, Target, and Wal*Mart. Thrift Shop, not bad both kids did good. Target wasn't that bad either, the biggest thing to happen was that Brooklyn needed to use the bathroom. Not that big of a deal you might say? But when holding a purse, a diaper bag, a target sack, and a 22 pound boy it tends to get tricky. Thankfully as I was trying to shove all of us and all our things into a small stall a sweet lady asked if she could help me by holding some bags or holding Cale. I gave her Cale (the bags can't squirm or touch the walls) and quickly helped Brooklyn do her thing. The lady was so nice and helpful. Now on to Wal*Mart, for starters its been raining off and on all day. When we get to Wal*Mart it's raining, I get the kids out of the car go inside put Cale in the seat of the basket. He throws a fit, he's sleepy. So we go back out to the car get the baby back-pack, come back inside I put Cale in snap him up and then have Brook hold him while I put the straps on. Cale's in good but then starts trying to climb me. I put Brook in the basket and we start on our way. I take about 10 steps go to reach for the grocery list in my back pocket (getting groceries was my whole reason for going out today) IT'S NOT THERE! Oh my gosh you have got to kidding me!!! Now what I'm I going to do? I can't remember all that was on my list, so I decide to go back to the car hoping it would be there and as I am about to walk through the doors for the 4th time I look over to were I had put my human back-pack on and there it is!!!!! AAHHH Thank GOD! Now I was finally ready to begin grocery shopping. I was getting some frozen pizza out, Cale still on my back I have the door open and then Cale leans to the side and hits his head on the door. Sorry Buddy. He eventually falls asleep, but since he's on my back his head is tilted all the way back with his face pointing to the celing. Not comfortable, so I turn him to the front. Despite that my sholders and back were killing me (and still are) we did manage to finish our shopping and make it home. Man I can't wait till Jonathan is back.

Sweet Baby~

Jonathan is out of town on a men's retreat so its just me and the kids. yea:( Last night was the first night Jonathan has been away since the Navy. You never realize how much someone does until there away. Jonathan is great, he helps me so much. Anyway so since Jonathan isn't here Brooklyn said "Hey mom how bout I sleep in your bed since dad is gone?" I said "that sounds fine, but just remember that when dad comes back you have to start sleeping in your bed and no coming into our room in the middle of the night." Brook then tells me "MOM you don't have to tell me that cause I'm a big girl!"

Cale was the first to wake up this morning, he then came to bull doze me and then started heading for his sister I pulled him away from her several times and then finally he got to her and this is what he did.

Snuggled...
