Mule Ride

On Sunday afternoon Pa Kaimann came over and saddled up the mules. Brookie got to go on her first mule ride. The mule's name is LP. She sat up on top of LP like she was big stuff. After she got off all she kept saying was "Ride LP, ride LP". She had so much fun. I just love the color of LP. What a great looking mule!


Brookie, LP, and Daddy leading her around.


Look at me- I'm big stuff!!

Nap Time

On a late Saturday afternoon after being outside all day helping mommy wash her car and do yard work. Brookie pulled all of the cushions off of the couch. Then I found her laying on top of the pile with her blankie asleep. Her feet are literally dangling. She looked so peaceful. So I took some pictures then moved her to the floor so that she didn't roll off.

Cherry Pickin'

Mama Kaimann, Makayla , Allison , & Brookie picked cherries on Thursday, June 19. The girls were having so much fun together. Brookie gets to see her cousins(Makayla & Allison) on Thursdays at her Mama Kaimann's house. They always have a great time playing together.

FLOOD OF 2008

The Riverfront of Clarksville

I took these pictures on June 17, 2008. We drove over to Clarksville to see the river. Highway 79 was flooded in certain areas. It is amazing to see how far the water goes. It was around 36 feet when these were taken. I can't believe what it really looks like in person.

Congratulations to Matt & Marie!

I just wanted to send a congratulations out to our good friends Matt and Marie Eggering. They are expecting a little bundle of love and are due at the end of January. I wish Marie a wonderful and healthy pregnancy. Motherhood is a great experience! On the other hand Matt be very patient with Marie. Sometimes pregnant woman can very hormonal at times. I wish the best to both of you!! Congratulations!!!!!!!

Juicy Watermelon

Daddy, Brookie, and mommy eating some juicy watermelon on Father's Day.


Looks like she is trying to strike a pose.

Happy Father's Day!!

On Fathers' Day we went to my mom and dad's house to go swimming. I just want everyone to know what a great dad and husband Ben is to Brookie and me. Brookie loved every minute of swimming. Here Ben and her are doing the Little Rascals wave.


I love this picture of Brookie. She discovered how to jump off of the steps on the ladder. She did it probably 50 times, over and over.


Ben, Mama Pralle, Brookie and Papa Pralle hanging out. Happy Father's Day!!

"Pretty Lips..."

is what Brooklyn says. She has a thing for my lip gloss. She will dig in my purse until she finds it and then takes the lid off and as you can she she has pretty lips. I caught her in the act and couldn't resist taking these pics.

Grant's Farm

Brookie, Alaina, and Jack while we were riding on the train. Jack loved the train. He kept saying"Choo-choo".


Brookie kept chasing the goat around saying "Here goat, here goat". It was so funny. At one moment the goat was tugging on her shirt with his mouth.



Brooklyn loved feeding the goats. She couldn't figure that she had to hold the bottle tilted for the goat to get any milk.



Mommy and Brookie at Grant's Farm.



I thought that this picture was so cute. Brookie and Jack are looking at the elephants.

Brookie is with Mama and Papa Pralle's Dog "BUDDY". They are great pals.

Mommy and Brookie went to see "When Elmo Grows Up". We went with some friends from work and there kids. She had a blast. Every time Elmo left the stage she kept saying "Elmo go?"



Everyone is singing Happy Birthday to Brookie at her birthday party. We had a Mickey Mouse party. Isn't her hat so cute!!



Brookie is playing dress up and playing in her house. Uncle Tom and Aunt Joanne gave her this house for her birthday and she loves it.
