Playing in the creek..

Last weekend we went to Brooklyn's friend, Sklyar's 3rd birthday party. After the party was over Brooklyn and her friends decided to play in the creek. They had so much fun running back and forth.





Danica, Skylar and Brookie






Brookie after she fell down and got all wet.








Cousins...

The girls and Mama Kay Kay came to visit us while I was on maternity leave. The girls and Brooklyn had a blast playing on the tetter totter that Ben built for Brookie and on the swing set!

Sisters!!!!

I got the girls pictures taken together on August 18. They turned out really cute. I thought I would share some of them with you all.



























































































Another new addition...

Ben got his bear rug back from his hunting trip he went on 2 years ago. He shot this black bear in Minnesota. Not sure where we are going to put it until we build the house. Brooklyn wasn't to sure about it. She said that it was scary, which I think the face is kind of scary with its mouth open.










Random Pics!


Brookie helping me give Bobbi Jo her first bath.




Since I have been on maternity leave we have spent a lot of time at home. On a rainy day we built a fort in the living room. Brooklyn thought that was pretty neat.
Under the fort we had a picnic lunch together and colored coloring books.



Then I found her asleep like this later in the afternoon.



Daddy and his girls!





Our little fish again....

Ben and Brookie have been enjoying going swimming in our lake.

Swimming with the Bauer side of the family.....

Like I said more swimming. The Bauer side of the family rents a pool in Old Monroe for the kids to go swimming. Brooklyn had a blast swimming with all of her cousins!


Brooklyn was obsessed with this kick board. She hooked the strap around her wrist and pulled that thing everywhere.

Summertime swim

Since we have had Bobbi Jo, Brooklyn does a lot of swimming. She is swimming at Mama and Papa Pralle's house here. We have brought our slide from home over to their house. Since then she uses it to slide into the pool. She has a blast on it!


Uncle Kurt holding Bobbi Jo















Here is a video of her sliding into the pool. The funniest thing is that she kid of bounces in once she hits the bottom of the slide.

Our first week home...

Our first week home was kind of crazy. Thanks to Mama Debbie and Mama Kay Kay for coming up different days of the week to help us out. We really appreciate everything yo have done for us.

One night after feeding Bobbi Jo and putting her to bed this is what I came back into the living room to find. Ben and Brookie sleeping on the couch.


Brookie reading "Curly the Pig" book to Bobbi Jo.


Mama Kay Kay, Bobbi Jo, Brooklyn and yes Minnie Mouse.

1st Photo Shoot!

We took our first photo shoot of the girls together outside our first week home.


I love this picture of them together. They are both smiling.



Proud BIG SISTER and little sister!

I thought this picture was too funny not to post. Poor Bobbi Jo was crying, looks like sisterly love!




So sweet!
