What's happenin'?

We have a lot of "stuff" happening in our household. We've had lots of visitors and lots of fun things going on. First off is Miss Brooke. Nana and Papa were here this weekend and I just had to take a picture of her in her new outfit. So cute....
We went to the Dallas arboretum this weekend and it was absolutely beautiful. The weather was perfect and the grounds were so pretty. Here's the kids sitting on a pile of pumpkins.
The only downside to the weekend was getting swarmed by hundreds of bees! They had a rootbeer float stand and we should have known when we walked up and there were bees hovering around the stand. Little did we know that they would follow us all over the park for the rest of our visit! They really love rootbeer! We had some good laughs about that one after a few screaming and running episodes. The boys were sloshing their drinks all over the place as they were running away from the bees. We were downing the floats so fast, I didn't even get to enjoy and savor the extra calories. I was drinking for my life!!
We're getting ready for Halloween around here. It was finally cold enough to break out the skeleton pj's and snap a picture with all the kids. The best part is that they glow in the dark.
Finally, look who's into EVERYTHING!! I can't even unload the dishwasher without my little helper climbing up on the door and helping me out! How does she get over to the dishwasher so quickly? It's like she has some radar for everytime I open the dishwasher.....she's so proud of herself up there :)

American Girl

After almost 8 years of being a mother to boys only, I ventured into the world of American Girls this weekend and I LOVED it!! My cousin and his family came to visit us this weekend and Brooke and I went to eat with Angie(cousin's wife) and Alyssa (her daughter)to celebrate Alyss'as birthday. Alyssa was kind enough to bring her bitty baby for Brooke to take to lunch with her.
Here are Brooke and Alyssa getting ready to head up to the bistro....
Here are Brooke and I enjoying some "girl time" We had chocolate fondue and milkshakes.....it's tough being a girl!
Brooke chats with her bitty baby about girl stuff. I think I'm gonna like this American Girl craze! I wanted all the dolls, furniture, clothes......they've come a long way from when I used to use a kleenex box for my Barbie's bed. I can't wait until Brooke is old enough to get into this stuff...I'll be ready to play!
Happy Birthday Alyssa!!!

Fun Run

Today was the boys fun run at school. They have been getting pledges all week and today was the day. Last year, it was outside but this year, the field was too muddy, so they moved it inside. So, here is Drew in the cafeteria running his laps. The most you can run is 35, but he's pretty sure that he ran more.
Jackson was next and they were set up in the gym. He ran 46 laps and was sweating like crazy! I don't have video of him, but I will post pictures later.
