Hello everyone! Great news! We named our cat, or I should say, Brooke named our cat! Whenever we asked Brooke what we should name the cat she always said blue. After a day or two she started to say jelly as well, so we did the only logical thing and combined them together and bought a jar of blueberry jam! (but seriously, the cat IS named Blue Jelly.)
So... In spite of a lot happening this week I somehow managed to not take pictures. I do have some good videos of Brooke though. So on the 4th of July Brooke and I headed out for a morning run together. Then we went to the ward breakfast. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of people came! After the breakfast we went swimming at the pool. I feel this is more forgivable as I don't have a water proof camera, but I missed pictures here as well. After all that we were quite tired and relaxed at home. That night we watched the Denver Outlaws (pro lacrosse) game on TV. Brooke was already in bed so we didn't head out to a fireworks show, but the firework ban in our county didn't stop our neighbors from putting on a show. There were fireworks a plenty going off all around us. It was a very full and fun day! Sorry I forgot pictures...
Brooke has been a champ about brushing her teeth lately. She loves to brush in the morning (by herself) with me while I'm getting ready for work, and sometimes at night she gets so excited she sings!
Brooke has also started working on walking up and down the stairs, but she always needs to hold a hand! She's even started to use the railing on the side of the stairs to pull her up as she climbs!
As Brooke has grown she's also become a great helper. She loves to help load and unload the dishwasher and put away toys. She's even started teaching the cat to help! Thanks Blue Jelly, but... maybe go play somewhere else!
Yesterday was such a day! I woke up and ran 8 miles. When I finished it was time to put a ceiling fan in Brooke's room before it got too hot! I had to go up into the attic to do it, and I did get in there early enough and it was still chilly, so that was nice at least. It's really nice to have it, it keeps Brooke's room much cooler!
After I put in the fan I got a short moment of respite to shower, promptly followed by putting up our new house numbers! Just as I was finishing a USPS delivery truck pulled up...
With our TV wall mount! We wanted to mount our TV in the front room because if it ever fell off it has a 4 to 5 foot fall to the floor, and that's quite dangerous! So we got a wall mount that could reach out from the wall, so the TV still looks like it's just sitting on it's shelf, but really it's mounted to the wall now!
After all that hard work I finally got a reward! We all went out to the Bagel Stop for brunch! Brooke is crazy about bagels, and even knows them by name. She was so excited we couldn't get her to sit still and get ready! It was great! I got a breakfast sandwich bagel, but I think Brookes bagel with cream cheese was better, so now I know for next time!
By the time we got home I was exhausted! I guess I did a bunch that morning... Anyway, Brooke and I found a fun game to play while at home!
I think that sums up this weeks activities. We had a great week, but I unfortunately forgot to get my phone out and record it! I hope everyone has a great week!
