September

This last September was filled with a lot of things...

My parents came over labor day weekend and we went down to Jake and Sabras.  We went to the Nasa Space Station Museum, which is neat to do once in your life but I have to say I don't think I will ever do again.


Bush and Brooklyn next to one of the Space Shuttle Rockets, this picture does not do it any justice.  It was incredibly huge!

After the time at Jake's, we stopped by a gentlemen's game room.  Jake and Sabra drove up to see it.  This guy has so many animals and has hunted most of them him self.  He owns an oil field construction company in Texas and so he is pretty well off.  He has saddles on his lions that he lets kids sit on and get pictures.  Here are just a few of the animals and pictures we have! It is truly amazing, so if anyone comes to visit we can take you there! He doesn't charge anything, all he asks is that you sign your name and leave a comment.  He is truly a generous man and so kind.  But if he is there when you are looking around he will tell you all about his adventures and you won't get out of there for a long time!



Brian and Kenna came to look at the animals with us


Bush was wearing his "Bears love People" shirt, so I thought this picture was pretty funny!

Also in September we were able to fly home, or to Vernal, on a private jet! That's right we were fancy for 2 whole days!  The CEO, COO and Bush had to fly to Vernal to take care of some business they have there and they were so kind to let Brooklyn and I come with them so I could go home for a week. Flying this way was so nice, there was no lines, no security and no waiting.  You just show up at the signature terminal, it is separate from the regular terminals and you just walk in and then walk out to your plane, get on and leave!  I guess they figure no one will be bombing a plane that will only kill a couple others besides themselves! It was nice but not a lot of space.  So cross that off our bucket list, flying in a private jet!



This was the plane!

Oh Dallas, How I Love Thee

Life is so interesting how it turns out.  I would have never guessed that I would be living in Dallas, TX and even less that I would feel so at home and like it so much!

Ok so it has been a while since I posted and I feel like there is a lot to tell but at the same time there is not anything to tell!

Brooklyn:
-She is super tiny, only in the 9th percentile for height and 15th for weight at her 6 month check-up!
-Started on solid foods around 5 months and will eat just about anything.
-Strawberries give her a super cute pucker face!
-She is super happy, easy going and laughs a lot
-She started sitting on her own at 5 months
-She is not crawling yet but she is getting closer (not exactly excited for that)
-She says "da da" all the time, especially when Daddy is around (not really sure if that is related or not)
-She is super cute!
-She rolls everywhere, and is scooting
-No teeth yet but drools a lot and puts everything in her mouth!

Enjoying her food, a lot!


Bush and I have been doing Cross Fit since the middle of August and we love it! If anyone out there wants to work out and love it, look into cross fit.  Bush is super busy with his job but he is really loving it.  It is challenging but it is fun for him to be in the ground work of a company, plus he loves that his opinions are wanted and listened to! Yes, he likes to be in charge!  I have been busy with Brooklyn and cross fit.  That is my two main things during the day.  I LOVE being able to go to the grocery store a couple times a week and not having any produce go bad because you don't have to buy for 2 weeks at a time!  Brooklyn and I have been doing a play and learn gymboree class, which she loves a lot! We will be starting a Kindermusik sign and sing class this month and next month.  I am enjoying taking advantage of what the city has to offer.  

We traded in our black dodge mega cab on a toyota tundra.  We don't need two big trucks anymore living in Dallas.  Plus the mega cab is so huge to get around in the city.  

Currently my cousin Dane is living with us for a little bit and Brooklyn is our Harry Potter, she is living in our closet!  We set up a pack and play in our walk in closet and that is where she is sleeping while Dane is here.  Our town home only has 2 bedrooms so no extra space.
