Brynne's Dog

I am WAAAAAAY behind on blogging! I blame it on the computer, the power cord and battery are practically shot. At first it couldn't be used at all, but now I figured out a way to keep it going as long as you don't move the cord! I am going to try to get caught up... Slowly but surely!

We made a trip to Old Navy at the beginning of the month. As soon as we walked in the door, Brynne walked over to the dog.

She talked to it and patted it on the head...

And then she tried to climb on it's back, haha!

I hate to break it to her, but she will never have a real dog!

Ready to Race!

We signed Brynne up for a little race for kids here in town. It is 100 meters, which is a little over the length of a football field. Of course Brynne had to have some running shoes for the occasion! I found these cute little Nike's at Kohls.

She was pretty excited about her new shoes and was running all over the place!

There will no doubt be lots of documention of the race, so expect a post in a few weeks!

Silly Girl!

At some point while we were in Tennessee this summer, Brynne started making funny faces when I pull the camera out. I have NO idea where she picked this up, but it is too funny!

Munsinger Gardens

Munsinger Gardens is a beautiful garden here that is free and open to the public. It is right along the Mississippi River and it is mostly shaded by trees, so it has been the perfect spot for an afternoon out this summer. Here are a few pictures from our first trip there in July.

Labor Day weekend we invited our preacher Justin, his wife Amy, and their daughters Allyson and Lauren up to visit. We went to the gardens then had them over for dinner.

This is what happens when you try to get three silly girls to take a picture!

Amy and the girls, I could not believe I got a picture with everyone looking and almost smiling-ish :)

We came across some ducks... We heard a lot of quacking, but mostly from Brynne instead of the ducks, haha!

The girls posed really cute by this tree as we were getting ready to leave... By the time we got the cameras out this was all we got!

And of course Brynne couldn't be left out!

We enjoy making trips to the gardens and having our friends here. Now that fall is almost here we plan to start making trips out to St. Joseph to see the leaves changing and visiting pumpkins patches and apple orchards!

Crack Kills...

Last week we were playing and Brynne kept pushing her diaper down in the back... I tried to tell her crack kills, but she didn't seem to mind, haha!

Then she was making all these crazy faces...

I like how blue her eyes are here!
P8097979

Brynne really knows how to accesorize... Maybe a little too much, ha!

Hopefully later in life she will learn that less is usually more :)
P8097995

P8097993

She was trying to get away from the camera, but I got her!
P8097991

I promise there is a diaper in there somewhere!

It may be a while before I update again because I can't find my camera battery charger and both batteries are completely dead!

New Toys

Shortly after we got back from TN, I bought Brynne a baby doll stroller and bathtub.

She liked showing off her brute strength!

P7137798

Apparently she thought she was the baby doll since she tossed her's aside! And notice she is washing her knee, haha!

P7137800


She must think it's quite a comfy seat...

P7137803

P7137805

She has finally realized the baby fits in the bathtub a little better than she does and will often give her baby a bath. She is also becoming quite fond of pushing the stroller ALL over the apartment, but she prefers to leave the baby behind!
