Jungle Jim's

We went to Jungle Jim's with Grandma Davis for the first time! Brooklyn rode the carousel about a million times, and rode all the other rides multiple times (except the roller coaster. I wish I could have gotten a picture of her face - she was terrified! It was really fast). 

Aquarium

The aquarium! Brooklyn's favorite place. She loves to look at all the fish, and we visit there often. 

Jellyfish.

The touching pool...

Her face after she touched a stingray.

Penguins!

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Seastrand

Today, Brooklyn and I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Seastrand with the Carter kids. We had a great time! It's always fun to listen to Grandpa's stories, and play with the toys that I played with as a kid at their house. 

...And eat the delicious homemade bread and rolls that Grandma made for us... Yummmm....

On the way home, we bought some flowers for Maverick, the Carters' dog, who passed away that morning. :( They were excited to pick out their own flowers to honor him!

Pizza Night!

Recently I've really been enjoying making homemade pizza (thank you, Meagan Thorup). Usually I do it by myself and we all "decorate" it, but this time Brooklyn wanted to help! Truth be told, she did the whole thing herself! Kidding. But that's what it looks like. Hurray for pizza night!

And here's a random picture of a random face that I love.

STYX

For Craig's birthday this year (27), his parents took us to Wendover to see Styx. They are one of Craig's favorite bands and he has never seen them in concert. Brooklyn had a sleepover at Aunt Melanie's house, and we took the Fun Bus! It was fun... :) Except that the roads were really foggy and I thought we were going to die the entire drive. We played Bingo and really had a blast. Then we got to explore Wendover - neither of us had ever been there - and went to a nice buffet for dinner. The concert was amazing! We had a great time. Happy birthday, Craiggy!

Technology

Brooklyn discovers that a phone has a camera on it. Hilarious.

January

Brooklyn is growing up so fast! She loves to play with her cousin Mylee, and is becoming more of a little girl every day. She is always making us laugh and has the sweetest personality.

She still gets into her share of trouble.

She also loves to play the piano and sing along. :) I don't know where she gets it...
