On Saturday we ended up at Costco, and we walked through the toys looking for things Brooke might enjoy. She definitely loved the bear that was bigger than her dad!!
They also had one of those little... scooting things... The ones that you sit on with your legs on either side and slide around on it pushing with your feet. Well, the one at Costco had a horn and a drum and... another thing on the front, and when you push them they make noise. Monica was showing it to Brooke, followed up by us chilling there for about 5 minutes while Brooke hammered on the trumpet. She really liked that one.
Brooke has also started sleeping with a blanket as it's gotten colder. When we put her down to sleep and put the blanket on her she'll grab it in her hand and pull it up to her face and suck her thumb and snuggle the blanket to her face. She also does this with her fuzzy moccasins. She seems to like to cuddle up and sleep now... well, unless cuddling involves a second human...
Also, one night Monica sent me to the store to get some taco sauce while she was making dinner. Next to the taco sauce I saw this very lumpy pepper sauce. In fact, I'd maybe call it peppers floating in vinegar... but I guess it's a a sauce... at least in Texas.
This weekend was the local Fall Festival. There's a farm close to our house that does a festival each year. I think I wrote about it last year... unless I wasn't blogging a year ago. Last year was also a very hot year, and Monica was pregnant. We parked at a park near our house and walked over last year and it was terrible for Monica in the heat, so this year we drove over and parked at the farm. Parking was very busy, and you had to walk through a hay field to get in. The hay left remains in my socks all day and I kept feeling like I was getting poked throughout the day at various times!
They had some picture taking spots at the fair this year, and how can you not just stick Brooke's head into those? This one didn't work great because there was a 2x4 right under the head hole and Brooke got her arms on it and was pushing against it so I couldn't get her head in very well.
But this one did not have such a defect, and I could get her head into the light much better. She get's really happy when she gets to take a picture in one of these!
Today we drove up to Tyson and Tina's house to watch their kids while they went to the Temple Dedication. They watched Brooke this morning while we went. We went to the 9 o'clock session, so we got to see the corner stone ceremony too! It was great to get to attend another temple dedication. The Spirit there was great, and the Temple truly is a wonderful place where we can perform covenants so we can live with our families for eternity. It was great to have a meeting entirely focused on the blessings of the temple!
Now we're currently out here on baby sitting duty. Just chilling, eating their snacks, breathing their air... it's great! It's currently nap time, and I think I'm required to join in, so I think I'm done with this weeks update! Hope everyone is doing great! Have a great week.
