Beginning of October

Fast forward to The end of November...

I accidently put my phone in the wash. We were running out the door to the park and I found some clothes downstairs that needed to go in the wash that I had just started. I ran upstairs and put them in and next thing you know I can't find my phone (which happens a lot). I then remembered the clothes, ran upstairs and yup, in the wash was my phone. I put it in rice for a few days, but no luck. All my pictures were gone from the last two months. At least I had Instagram and Lee's phone.

I'll probably just do an Instagram dump one of these days.

But here is off of Lee's phone.

Swimming in October!!

Brookie loves water. And has figured out the water bottle.

She will not eat real food, but take away the water bottle and she will let you know.

The key around the neck like a necklace was killing us. Too funny.

And don't we all wish we were that tan?

Zoo Trip!

We had a pass the expired at the beginning of the month, so we made sure

to get a trip in on a Saturday. The weather was super nice.

Enjoying some muffins.

They got a thumbs up! (And one to the side.)

Yay Bookie! She does not like standing on one hand as much as the

other kids did. Ha. But she does entertain us anyways.

While on my run Lee found Zac reading to Brooke while he got ready.

I love the "sit up."

Lee took Zac to school one day. He was beyond excited to have Dad take him.

September Rundown

Jane was super cute in her dance class.

She usually just wore tights and her black leotard,

but this day she decided a tu-tu was a must. She was so cute!!

Afterwards she loved running on the grass with her dance friends.

Jane with her best friend Jane.

Brookie got her first tooth a week shy of being six months.

There have been a lot of ups and downs these past few days about it!

But even if she does not want to sleep,

she is still pretty cute.

Grandma Cooper found this marble toy at a garage sale.

Zachary enjoys playing with it every Sunday.

Just reading to her babies.

The pace of life is so different with her brother in school.

It is so nice to be able to take a minute to breathe. :)

Loving sitting up an d holding onto the tray in the stroller.

I don't say yes to the car cart often, but Jane was super

excited and was so happy she brought along her baby.

It's fun to watch Jane at story time. She loves to do everything.

And answer all the questions.

"Yummy"

Working on sitting. And of course she wants the toy out of reach. :)

Boating was a little harder with a baby this year.

But we did make it out a few times. And loved it when Brookie would just sleep.

Every year I have been surprised I can still get up on the wakeboard.

I'm not very good. But I think it's fun.

Look at the sidewalk! It's wet!

Yay for rain. It's been months and months and months!

But you know it's just a tiny sprinkle seeing how

Jane is ok with her head uncovered. We will take it anyways.

Zipping her coat up on her own.

Zachary learned this at the same time. ;)

The boys went to Fathers and Sons. So I took the girls on a run.

We left before the sun came out. Jane insisted on her coat. And the hats

came off before the half mile mark. I guess it was not really that cold!

Dress up and dancing to Frozen with neighbor friend.

Took down Jane (top pictures) and put up Brooke (bottom two).

Now that Brooklyn is sleeping through the night I guess it really can be her room! :)

Jane left. Brooke right.

The kids were loving seeing Jane in these same PJ's.

Brooklyn made a new friend.

Our neighbors gave us a ton of apples.

Lee had the kids helping him make an apple pie and some homemade applesauce.

Brooklyn will not eat any baby or real food. She will close her lips and push it away (and she is strong). I remember not being able to spoon it into Zac's mouth fast enough. I always try, but never have much luck with her. Tonight I handed over the job to Jane when I gave up. It was kind of funny to watch. Jane did not have much luck either.
