Family Time

Last weekend we got the chance to go up to my oldest brother, Ray's house for a visit. I got to see my nephew, Nathaniel - wow - has he grown or what? We definitely have some tall kids in our family...hahaha. We had a really nice time visiting and Brookie and Nathaniel had a blast. It was nice to see them interacting this year - last year was a little different. I think Nathaniel was a little intimidated last year b/c Brooklynn was still a baby (8 months) but not this year - they were playing together and being crazy together - it was so cute. Our plan is to go back up the weekend that Andy & Andrew get into town so we can all visit together. Andy & Andrew haven't seen Ray and Nathaniel since Christmas 2004 so its been a while.

I got some cute pics of the 2 cousins playing together this year - definitely not a dull moment with these 2 wild ones (ok.... MY wild one) running around. Nathaniel shared all his toys so nicely with Brooklynn - she especially loved his train track table in his room....definitely increased her fascinations with trains that much more.

Brookie loved playing with Sheba...she was

so good with her - luckily her personality

is more like Rocky and not Daisy - Brooklynn

was climbing all over her....she didn't know

what to do with such a big dog.

Enjoying a goldfish snack together...

Getting in a little computer time

Trying out a new ride...

Somehow I think this new ride only has room

for 1....but they can try right?

The front flower garden was gorgeous...I have

never seen flowers like this - and they were

HUGE!!! We can definitely see who has the

'Green Thumb' in our family - definitely

is not me...hahaha!

Brookie loved the flowers too

Looking for a dragonfly....Brookie wasn't

too sure about searching for it, so she kept

her distance.....just in case.
