Brooklyn Stories

* The other day, Brooklyn wanted a brownie. I'm trying to teach her to use her manners and say please. So I said "say please and you can have a brownie." She said "brownie" and then pushed me! Yes! My sweet little angel didn't get her way so she resorted to pushing! What did I do? Spank her! She had this awful look on her face like I hurt her feelings, she pouted around the floor for like 5 minutes, then she came up to me and said "brownie please." I of course gave her a brownie then. We may have a little temper to tame!

*While I had to work one day, Aunt Mush and Bepah kept Brooklyn. Brooklyn loves her little cousin Dylan. She got to play with him all day. At lunch I got a message from Mush saying "B just got her pretend phone and held it up to Dylan and said 'cheese'! lol think shes had a few pics taken of her?" I thought this was so funny!

*Today, Luke was changing Brooklyn's clothes. He would pick out a shirt and Brooklyn would say "I don't like it" (i yount yike it). She did this for EVERY shirt he picked out! In the end, he had to hold her down while she cried to put on a shirt she didn't "like". She's already a drama queen!


I have so many other funny stories to tell about Brooklyn, but these are all recent so I had to share before I forgot them.

Branson Vacation

This year for vacation, we went to Branson. Usually we go to the beach, but an 8 hour drive to Florida would not be fun with a 22 month old and a 2 month old. So we opted-out this year and went to Branson instead. I definatly missed the beach! But I enjoyed shopping and swimming in the pool.

I didn't take many pictures on vacation. All the ones I did take are of Brooklyn (of course!). Here are some that I actually snapped...


My child is a fish!! She absolutly LOVES the water (or "dader" as she would say)


These floaties only stayed on the first day. After that she became a "big girl" and refused to wear them.


Nana let Brooklyn build-a-bear. Tinker-Bear to be exact. Brooklyn didn't like the guy who helped us out. He tried to tell her a story about the heart for the bear, but she just threw the heart at him and ran off. She know who/what she likes and doesn't like.


What she did like was giving the bear a bath! She thought it was a lot of fun!



Here's her with Tinker-Bear. It was hot! She hadn't had a nap! She was forced to go shopping with her family. She. was. not. happy.



I know this looks random, but this fox hung out with us all week. He lived somewhere close to our cabin, and we'd see him catching squirrels, or begging us to feed him popcorn. He was pretty friendly for a fox.


This child is fearless! She would jump into the water without a seconds thought. It takes several people to watch her. She likes to try to escape your arms to swim on her own. Let's just say I tire out A LOT faster than she does.


The place where we stayed had a little playground next to the pool. She saw the slide and insisted she go to play. She's very persistent when she wants something!


How cute is this?! Wearing "Bepah's" hat


Here are those floaties she refused to wear. They became pom poms. She liked to cheer with them which is funny because I don't think she's every seen cheerleaders before. At least not since last fall during Football season.



We had a great time relaxing in Branson. Great food. Good shows. Transformers 3D! I got to actually read a little! (4 whole books!) It was a very nice week!
