September pictures

WARNING: PICTURE OVERLOAD

Here are pictures of things we did in September...

splash pad - We went here a lot with friends, especially at the beginning of the month when it was still so hot every day.  Brooklyn loved running through the water, playing with other kids toys, and mostly eating other kids snacks.  (She is BAD at this!  She thinks if anyone else is eating ANYTHING she is entitled to it and begs for it.  I am trying to fix this).

 

She is really in to the "Little Mermaid" right now (I'm really in to it too right now because it's the only video she'll watch that's longer than 30 minutes).  She loves Ariel and will sing like her if you ask her to.  I bought her a little mermaid that I found at the dollar store and she loves it.  On this particular day at the splash pad she carried everywhere with her. 

shootin' some hoops at Dad's school - One night for FHE we played basketball in the gym at the school.  It was really fun (mostly for me because I always KILL John in Pig or 1-on-1 and he is a great sport about it :)) and Brooklyn loved running around.  She found this blue headband before we left and wore it the whole time.  

lunches/dinners with Dad - Brooklyn loves going to school to eat with her Daddy (and John loves it too to break up his day).  We always try and eat one meal together during the day...so on days that John stays at the school all day to study, we go to him.  We usually drive because it is still too hot to drive, but once the weather cools off it will be fun to just walk over.

play dates - We LOVE play dates.  It is so nice for both the kids and I to get out of the house (or have friends over) to play. 

Here Brooklyn is with her friend Kelsi...

Jake is always just an observer and content at watching all the action.

And her friend Parker...

 

once again, just a happy observer.

 playing at the park - It is finally getting nice enough (well only some days) to play at the park.  We have a park really close to our apartment complex which is nice.  I want to find more fun parks to play at once the weather isn't in the 90's/100's. 

Cabela's - when it's too hot outside to go to the zoo to see the animals, what do you do?  Go to Cabela's and look at the fake animals instead!  This actually was fun...we met our friends there and Brooklyn loved seeing the animals, especially the fish and huge elephant.  It was an extra bonus to be inside in an air-conditioned place :)

That's all our random pictures from September...next time will be October.
