The ZOO!!!!

The Dallas Zoo is such a fun place for us!
We are all little animals so we fit in great!






The children's Play area has this obnoxious stream that our kids love to play in. Ella and Brooklyn took great liberties here.












Lauren and Austin had way fun too. Joshua's picture wouldn't rotate so he's not pictured but he's my crazy one so you can only imagine. I'm surprised he didn't take off all of his clothes and streak





The Dallas Temple




Primary Activity was at the Dallas Temple. We had such a great time. I love seeing the kids there and teaching them about the importance of going to Heavenly Fathers house.


POOH!

Okay! I think every mom can appreciate a Pooh moment, here's my story.
Brooklyn has been wanting to wear underwear, so the good mother that I am thought it was a great idea to encourage her and we were doing very well with the Pee part. A couple of days ago, Brooklyn was on the toilet, it looked like she would be awhile and I was getting ready for the day. Did I mention that Lauren was in the bathroom with us?Shuanna my friend calls, she has been helping me with my blog, I had a question for her. I left the bathroom to fix the problem and was gone for about 3 minutes. When I got back I noticed round brown balls on the bathroom floor. Strange what ever could they be. Than I noticed Lauren with one in her hand and looking delighted as she raised it to her mouth, a normal 9 month old reaction. It than dawned on me as I looked at Brooklyn standing with her panties down that she had not gone in the toilet but on the bathroom floor and Lauren was going to eat the product of her mess. This whole episode took about 10 seconds of recoginition on my part. I scooped up Lauren at the same time shacking the pooh out of her hand;mothers are so multitalented. Thinking "how gross I hope she didnt eat any of it."Fished my finger in her mouth and found I wee bit inside, grabbed soap and proceeded to wash hands and face. Grabbed my tooth brush and brushed her two teeth, tongue and what ever she would let me. Lauren was as happy as could be and I however was worried she would get some diease. Come to find out she's fine and now I have a POOH moment.

Crib moment


Lauren is getting to be so big. She is pulling her self up in the crib.

Reading Together

This summer we stayed home. Which was good because Austin was able to take the time to read to his brother and sisters. They loved it.

Austin and Brooklyn


Austin is such a wonderful brother and loves to be with his siblings. I captured this moment by accident and I am glad to see him set a good example of caring.

Brooklyn's Best Friend Lilly




Lilly and Brooklyn are 3 months apart in age and are the most trouble makers ever. Since they made their mark during soccer by stopping our game because they had both wondered into the goal, having fun playing in the net of course. Reveau and I knew that a close I on those to was an absolute must.
